Description

TYPO3 gives a wrong error message in the Front End if you make an error in the link of index.php.

Wrong link:

index.php -> typo3/index.php

instead of correct

index.php -> typo3_src/index.php

(see #62074)
Write a better error message:
Wrong symbolic link to index.php.

History

#1 Updated by Markus Klein 10 months ago

Background info

The typo3/index.php calls typo3/init.php which calls the bootstrap->baseSetup with parameter 'typo3/' as relative path.
This leads to the problem that getPathSiteByRelativePathPart() calculates the wrong path for the site as it removes the relative path from the current script path.

A possible way to check if the path is valid, would be to check in definePaths() whether PATH_site . 'index.php' does exist.

One more note: The Install Tool already detects if the index.php is a wrong symlink, but that does not help with the initial installation, if you access it with the website url only.

Example for an initial setup:

# ll
FIRST_INSTALL
index.php -> typo3/index.php
typo3 -> typo3_src/typo3
typo3_src -> ../typo3_23423

If the user now accesses http://example.com/ an error will appear as the bootstrap is triggered, which fails and therefore does not redirect to the Install Tool where this misconfiguration would have been reported.
If the users accesses http://example.com/typo3/install/ the Install Tool will come up and show the misconfiguration.
So we only need to handle the first case here.
