CiviCRM 4.4.4 "The CiviCRM debug log should not be downloadable."

[dkretz]

Currently I only see these messages occasionally under circumstances I haven't figured out and can't reliably reproduce, so it's not easy to test whether attempted fixes are successful. Is there a way to intentionally invoke the tests?

It seems to me that this should be included in /Administer/Administration Console/Configuration Checklist. Or maybe it is, and I haven't found it yet?

The problem is that there are several checks which can become a bit incessant if run all the time, so it throttles the display. IIRC, the throttling is "once per session per week (for admin users)".

Integrating it with the checklist is a good idea.

In 4.5, you can run these checks on-demand using the API. Try this: navigate to "Help => Developer => API Explorer"; choose the entity "System" and the action "check"; then click "Execute".

Thank you, directing me to Help/Developer/API Explorer was helpful - I hadn't found that yet.

I presume that "is_error: 0" means the errors have been fixed.

Relating back to the topic, I'm hosting on a AWS free instance; and .htacess is not enabled by default.

Fixing it involves editing /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf and changing "AllowOverride None" to "AllowOverride All" in two places
and then restarting httpd:

sudo service httpd restart
