report/security/report security check displayerrors

If PHP is set to display errors, then anyone can enter a faulty URL causing PHP to give up valuable information about directory structures and so on.

(Can someone add instructions on where to turn this off please).

If you go to Administration > Server > Debugging and set "Debug messages" to NONE and "Display debug messages" to NO you should be on the save side. If this instruction is correct it should be included in the Security Overview report. --Frank Ralf 11:28, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
