Hi,

Should the upgrade scripts remove Config.IDS.ini ? It seems they don't currently but I think it might be a good idea if they did.

Currently in my experience Config.IDI.ini, once created, typically stays unchanged for many months, untouched by upgrades. In the meantime, CRM/Core/IDS.php changes from time to time and new fields get added to exceptions[] etc, but these won't be reflected in Config.IDS.ini unless it's manually deleted.

Worse, if the old Config.IDS.ini has paths (e.g. filter_path) referring to an older installation, e.g. because files/ got copied from an old drupal tree to a newer one, then those old paths will still be in Config.IDS.ini, which will continue to work if the old tree is still there but will suddenly throw a WSOD on all Civi pages when the old tree is cleaned out. 

What if people have customised their Config.IDS.ini? I would think the answer is: they shouldn't: it's a volatile file that gets created/recreated by CRM/Core/IDS.php and if customisations are needed, they should be done in a copy of CRM/Core/IDS.php under your custom PHP directory. That's just my understanding though, can anyone from the core team comment?

Thanks,

Dave J

Hi Lobo,

I'm looking at a site recently upgraded to 3.4.4 and here's the ConfigAndLog dir:

So Config.IDS.ini is 17 months old.

I see that CRM_Upgrade_Page_Upgrade::run() calls $config->cleanup( 1 , false ) which is what's called when &directoryCleanup=1 is added to a URL with debug on. This doesn't clear the ConfigAndLog dir in my experience. Just tested and indeed it doesn't. I think what's happening is confusion about locale. We're using en_GB and it seems that directoryCleanup=1 recreates this directory:

templates_c/en_US/en_GB/
however Config.IDS.ini is in:

templates_c/en_US/ConfigAndLog/
I've wondered why en_GB gets created under en_US, assumed it was some sort of reference to the "special relationship". This is what we get under templates_c, after a directoryCleanup=1 at 2011-07-18 10:53:

This is the directory structure we typically see on en_GB sites but I'm guessing this may not be how it's intended to be?
