[gitHub #1377] [Solved] Hide 'Vanilla has already been installed'

jcwebdev

When I browse to /path/to/vanilla/forum/setup/ I'm presented with a very detailed error message that outlines where Vanilla has been installed to.

This gives away too much system information for my liking and I'd like to hide the page. I can see the error message is being generated by:

forum/applications/dashboard/controllers/class.setupcontroller.php

Is it possible to disable this page without hacking the PHP code in this file?

Server rule have some nuances, which can be specific to your setup

I may be easier to use vanilla routes. dashboard/routes->Add Route

Route Expression

(dashboard/)?setup(/.*)?

Target

dashboard/home/filenotfound

Type

Not Found (404)

You could also use it to redirect to a custom page. I would say report this on git hub becuase is still triggers even if debugging is off. it should really show 'Bonk!' as default. https://github.com/vanillaforums/Garden/issues

yes with server rules like .htaccess something like so

RewriteRule ^setup(/.*)$ dashboard/home/filenotfound [R=404, L]

This gives me a 500 internal redirect error.

I've got Vanilla installed in a subfolder or the domain root but have modified my .htaccess accordingly.

This works

ErrorDocument 404 /path/to/forum/dashboard/home/filenotfound 

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(dashboard/)?setup(/.*)? - [L]

change /path/to/forum

jcwebdev

This doesn't work either. No 500 error but it doesn't hide the setup page output.

Tried a few combinations but I can't get it to work. Any thoughts?

jcwebdev

Alternatively, would it be possible just to setup Vanilla to return a simple message saying that it has already been installed as opposed to revealing system paths?

Sweet, this worked a treat and I've reported it to GitHub as suggested.

Suggestion number on gitHub? So I can add it to the topic title
