hello everyone, i am a new user of the cms and have the following comments/questions right from the start:
  • why is there no https on the get-simple.info domain? having to enter passwords and personal data without ssl-encryption (e.g. for registration here in the forum) i think is very questionable. in any case, this does not correspond to the "great security" claim as emblazoned on your home page.
  • the installation routine does not check if the mail() function has been disabled on the server, which is why the installation aborts with error 500 in mycase. in my opinion an installation should be possible without the mail() function, in the best case the configuration of a mailbox and the sending via smtp should be possible alternatively
    i have edited the sendmail() function in /admin/inc/basic.php to still be able to perform the installation. now also in the health-check.php the disabled mail() function is listed under PHP disable_functions but not marked as problematic.
  • What's that red "Warning: Server Setup non-Apache" error message that shows up on every page in the backend good for? i know i'm using nginx, how to hide that warning?
I'm having some more 500 errors which don't log to errorlog.txt or the systems php error log... looks like my get-simple adventure already came to the end...
