Hi

We are getting error/debug messages showing on learners pages, is there a simple way of turning these off?

Thanks

Kevin

Hi Kevin,

Sure, there are some directives you can put in your Mahara's config.php file that control whether or not error messages get printed to the webpage, or invisibly stored in a log file. The settings available vary depending on which version of Mahara you're using. In 1.7, it should be sufficient to set:

$cfg->productionmode = true;

$cfg->log_environ_targets = LOG_TARGET_ERRORLOG;

If you want to be really thorough you can also set these additional values (although the defaults for these should be sending errors to the logs, not the screen).

$cfg->developermode = false;

$cfg->log_dbg_targets = LOG_TARGET_ERRORLOG;

$cfg->log_info_targets = LOG_TARGET_ERRORLOG;

$cfg->log_warn_targets = LOG_TARGET_ERRORLOG;

If you have a different version of Mahara, try looking in the lib/config-defaults.php file to see which config settings are available.

Cheers,

Aaron
