| Description | We are trying to follow the steps in https://www.limesurvey.org/manual/Installation_security_hints#The_access_to_the_config.php_file As it turns out, the settings we are supposed to change are no longer located in the config.php file, but can be found here: limesurvey/application/config/internal.php: 'basePath' => dirname(dirname(FILE)), limesurvey/application/controllers/InstallerController.php: ."\t" . "'runtimePath' => dirname(dirname(dirname(FILE))).DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'tmp'.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'runtime'," . "\n" limesurvey/application/config/internal.php: 'rules' => require('routes.php'), So do they need to be changed at all? <?php return include("/home/hostfolder/safedata/configreal.php"); ?> in the placeholder file? Kindly update your documentation. | ||||
