Move wp-config.php to its new location somewhere above "public_html" and add a new "skeleton" wp-config.ph in the WordPress directory e.g.
<?php
include(\'/dir_above_public_html/priv-applecom/wp-config.php\');
?>
The wp-config.php script is included by other WordPress files. So to include this from a non default location we can simply 1. move our "real" wp-config from the Wordpress directory to where we want it located. 2. create a new wp-config in the Wordpress directory that does its own includes of the "real" wp-config script.
The benefits of having this file above public_html/web-root
are hotly debated. I am in the camp that wants to avoid having scripts with authentication keys, salts & DB "credentials" in a directory that might be accessed via HTTP(S).
There are no real benefits in moving wp-config to another accessible dir (this may be the case for "abccom" where you have moved it to a dir "public_html" which usually indicates it is yes "public".
