TOPIC: installation folder issue
#12460
installation folder issue 8 Years, 9 Months ago Karma: 0
Hi

I have a problem with "installation" folder with multisites. It making conflict with other plugin. Is there any way to rename the "installation" folder for creating multi-site. So that it will not conflict with other plugin that I have installed.

As to fallow the joomla convention it is better to remove the "installation" folder after joomla installation for safety purpose

Need help on ASAP.


Thanks,
Rohan

The installation is not mandatory.
JMS just need the /installation directory when you want to create a fresh slave site.

If you have conflict with some extension, this may mean that those extension does not perform a standard joomla initialisation.
This may happen with some Ajax call that use a Joomla 1.5 initialisation instead of a Joomla 2.5/3.x initiatlisation.

If you don't need to create fresh slave site then you can remove the /installation directory.
Otherwise, the extension that have a problem should be fixed to perform a correct joomla initialisation.

The correct initialisation is the one that you can find in the joomla "/index.php" and that is

define('_JEXEC', 1);

if (file_exists(__DIR__ . '/defines.php'))
{
include_once __DIR__ . '/defines.php';
}

if (!defined('_JDEFINES'))
{
define('JPATH_BASE', __DIR__);
require_once JPATH_BASE . '/includes/defines.php';
}

require_once JPATH_BASE . '/includes/framework.php';


Some extension that want to bypass the joomla entry point does not perform the test on the

if (file_exists(__DIR__ . '/defines.php'))
{
include_once __DIR__ . '/defines.php';
}

if (!defined('_JDEFINES'))


that cause the issue.
