Seems that this problem is known and will be fixed in next releases.

In the meantime you have to fix it manually using the solution provided here.

you can make a file 'phpinfo.php' with
<?php
phpinfo()
?>
so when you call this page via your browser you have all server informations. Yo can search your path in all these info.

Is there security issues leaving phpinfo.php in your http path?

yes and no..

no being that the file itself won't do any harm.. but yes that if someone finds it, then they will know everything about your server setup.. a crackers dream come true (made easier)

Physical path is the actual path your server sees. Virtual path is the one the internet uses.

http://mysite.org = virtual path - This name is virtual because it is like a nick name and therefore has to be converted to go to the real name or real physical place.

Servers do not see http:// or www - when processing internal commands. "www" or "http://" are for the outside world.

Hi Monty,

My question is, can you then place that script behind the http path? I see other CMS scripts using the phpinfo.php within the admin area. How are they securing things?

they would be accessing it via another script.. but that's not really the topic of this thread.
