Description

The "folder structure" module of the install tool is a good help to create a missing structure. However, in our case, it confuses admins because it lacks flexibility.

The problem is that the tool reports it as an error that the root folder (/) is not a directory. That is true because in our environment, it's a symlink which points to a subfolder of the main project (../site/www). Of course this is a special structure of our hosting environment, but in previous versions, it has always worked. It even works in master even though the Install Tool reports it as an error...

Suggestion:
  • The root folder should be allowed to be a symbolic link OR a folder.
  • It's not the case for us, but I can also imagine people who would like to have "typo3_src" to be a folder, not a symlink.
