Main index.php and pub/index.php are Out of Sync

[astorm]

The file at

pub/index.php

is out of sync with the file at

index.php

The file in pub still contains an unname spaced Mage_Profiler, which results in a fatal error when run vs. the new repository.

There files should be brought into sync, or if pub/index.php is redundant it should be removed from the repository.

I would seriously like to see the ./index.php entry point removed, thus forcing the use of ./pub/index.php or manually creating one outside of pub if you really lack the flexibility to specify ./pub/ as the web root. It makes way more sense to push for the use of the more secure and modern location of a primary entry point, with the application code physically located outside of the web root.

I would also like to see the more secure pub entry point made de facto, it is the typical Zend style. Unfortunately, this precludes the popular practice of having Magento in a sub-folder of a website. Not everyone wants Magento to be their entire site.

That should still be possible were the ./index.php entry point to be eliminated. You would put the pub directory where you wanted Magento to run and update these two lines in the pub entry point, the first load the bootstrap.php file relative to where the entry point was placed and the second to define what to use in links to materialized assets:

    require __DIR__ . '/../app/bootstrap.php';
    $params[\Magento\Core\Model\App::PARAM_APP_URIS][\Magento\Core\Model\Dir::PUB] = '';

The team synced the main index.php file and those located in the pub folder. We are closing this ticket now.
