index.php file different from skeleton

Anonymous43

My index.php looks way different.

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

$server = new Flarum\Http\Server(
    Flarum\Foundation\Site::fromPaths([
        'base' => __DIR__,
        'public' => __DIR__,
        'storage' => __DIR__.'/storage',
    ])
);

$server->listen();

This is what the file should look like on a new Flarum beta 15 installation https://github.com/flarum/flarum/blob/v0.1.0-beta.15/public/index.php

It's possible that older installations have a slightly different file if they manually updated the file according to our update guides from older versions.

Mine is 0.1.0-beta.15 😕

Anonymous43 I have split your discussion so we can stay organized and not confuse which code is from the original poster and yours.

Are you having an issue? Or were you trying to help?

If your Flarum works correctly like it is now, you don't need to change anything, you can keep it as-it.

If you look at the new skeleton files on GitHub, you'll see we basically moved some code from index.php/server.php/flarum to site.php. This means paths can be edited in a single place instead of 3 different places. You can create site.php and copy the updated files if you want, but you don't need to. You can see the method names are the same, they were just moved to another file.

Nah, mine works fine. I was trying to help the person, cause my index was different. With beta 16 update, my index will update as well?

This is the same for all FreeFlarum forums, and they're beta.15.
It was changed in this commit: flarum/flarum542331b

The commit just split the config in a new file, site.php and then it gets loaded in index.php. No big deal for me, all of our forums work fine without the new version of config.php so you shouldn't worry about it

But this means that files under ./public are ignored during update? In that case, that could be a problem. Just though I'd mention that it happened on FF too, so you're not the only one

Perhaps it happens because we have setup Composer to update flarum/core, but public files are in flarum/flarum?
I guess that you could create both files manually based on the commit too

SKevo The flarum skeleton does not get updated when updating Flarum, only core and extensions do. If changes to the skeleton are necessary for Flarum to function, that will be noted very clearly in the release announcements.

This is because the skeleton is encouraged to be modified (web server config, local extenders, composer.json) in the course of regular server administration.

SKevo Mine is not a FreeFlarum hosted. But I will note that I did get mine from https://github.com/UvUno/pockethold

The reason for using Pockethold is that when using SSH to install flarum, it does not load all the files 🙁

P.S, updating index.php and site.php from flarum skeleton, just gives you a blank page. Not worth it.
