It's all very well writing the above, but for those of us who are trying to understand it, you might as well be writing in swahili.

Is that a dropbox address on the open web? Do we need a dropbox account to access it? How do we install it? How are we supposed to disable or remove it? Where are detailed instructions?

Beta is good but if alot of apps / programs are not supported or working then its useless!

This needs to be fixed its a high security risk!

Looks like there's a bug with this version. I can't upgrade my webapps.

See https://github.com/laravel/framework/issues/8567

Plus can Asustor share to the community the way to build our proper PHP versions? It would be really really nice!

Dear Maxani,
Can you please give me the steps to reproduce the problem? Please, also, give us as much detail as possible.

Many thanks,
JAMES

Hi James.

Sure it's easy to reproduce.

Following the documentation of the framework Laravel: http://laravel.com/docs/5.0/installation

First get composer and put it in /volume1/Web folder

then via the method Composer Create-Project still in /volume1/Web:

Code: Select all

php ./composer.phar create-project laravel/laravel asustor --prefer-dist

It will create a fresh Laravel App in the folder "asustor" in my example.

Please delete the file /volume1/Web/asustor/vendor/compiled.php and run in /volume1/Web/asustor :

Code: Select all

php ../composer.phar update

It will update to the last version of Laravel.

Then just target your browser to http://YOUR_IP/asustor/public

You should get a web page with the message "Laravel 5 Smile, breathe, and go slowly. - Thich Nhat Hanh"...
But you won't. Instead you'll get the error message I mentionned.

Thank you.
