 Flarum default installation fault, Flarum works but security issues (2 Replies, Read 1197 times)

Status:
Basic installer fails to put things in the right folder. Basic install will have a "public" folder inside the folder chosen for the install which is not correct.

Per the installation instructions, "By default Flarum's directory structure includes a public directory which contains only publicly-accessible files. This is a security best-practice, ensuring that all sensitive source code files are completely inaccessible from the web root." copies from https://docs.flarum.org/install/

Meaning every install of Flarum on Softaculous is installed incorrectly with security issues since they put ALL the files in a publicly accessible folder. This seems like a very small configuration issue that should be rectified. Makes me worry how many installations Softaculous does that are insecure.

I know there are "word-arounds" but they are terrible and insecure and simply fix the cosmetic issue of "/public" in all your forums links.
