Intermittent Redirect to /installer/install.php (v30.0.00, v30.0.01)

General

I’m seeing an intermittent issue where, when accessing the site, I am sometimes taken to /installer/install.php instead of the normal homepage.

I first noticed this behavior with v30.0.00, and it is still occurring with v30.0.01. This happens not only after an upgrade, but also on a fresh installation.

When this occurs, the installer page shows the message that config.php already exists. If I click on the Gibbon logo, I’m redirected back to the main site and everything functions normally.

The behavior is inconsistent — sometimes the site loads correctly, and other times it lands on the installer page first.

Environment details:

  • Gibbon Version: v30.0.01

  • PHP Version: 8.3.29

  • MySQL Version: 10.11.15

Has anyone else experienced this or identified what might cause the installer page to appear intermittently?

Hi @tiekubd

Thank you for sharing the issue. We might think it is something to do with your server settings, since we have not faced any issue like that as of yet, nor anyone else has reported it. It’s also a bit difficult to replicate this problem. However, I think adding you may try adding this change from the PR: Fixed the issue of redirect to installer file by ali-ichk · Pull Request #2062 · GibbonEdu/core · GitHub in your codebase and check if the issue is fixed or still persists. Please give us a feedback whether the solution works so we can merge into v31. Thanks!
