Description

My hosting company https://www.a2hosting.com/ scanning my shared hosting websites using https://patchman.co for security scanning. It found and removed shell.php in multiple directories for my tiki 15.4 installation.

Looking at the file, it is not used and is only there to tell people to use console.php. It would be nice if these files were removed from the distribution as this may cause problems for tiki installations for other people using shared hosting.

About show2.tiki.org

To help developers solve the bug, we kindly request that you demonstrate your bug on a show2.tiki.org instance. To start, simply select a version and click on "Create show2.tiki.org instance". Once the instance is ready (in a minute or two), as indicated in the status window below, you can then access that instance, login (the initial admin username/password is "admin") and configure the Tiki to demonstrate your bug. Priority will be given to bugs that have been demonstrated on show2.tiki.org.

Version: Create show2.tiki.org instance

Accessing the Tiki instance that demonstrates this bug

The URL for the show2.tiki.org instance that demonstrates this bug is at: http://. Note that if you get a popup asking for a username/password, please just enter "show" and "show". This is different from the initial login and password for a new Tiki which is "admin" and "admin".

For the install log, see http://

Note that if you see PHP errors or a Tiki claiming to be missing third party software, the instance creation is probably not finished. Please wait a couple minutes and reload.

Snapshots

Snapshots are database dumps of the configuration that developers can download for debugging. Once you have reproduced your bug on the show2.tiki.org instance, create a snapshot that can then be downloaded by developers for further investigation.

Snapshots can be accessed at: http://. Note that if you get a popup asking for a username/password, please just enter "show" and "show".
