Important: #107536 - Install Tool now adapts to backend login routing
See forge#107536
Description
The Install Tool now integrates with TYPO3's backend routing system instead of
using a separate typo3/
file. This modernization improves
consistency while maintaining full backward compatibility.
If the TYPO3 installation is not working properly, the Install Tool can now be
accessed via the ?__
parameter behavior so that administrators
rely on for system maintenance and recovery.
Impact
For Administrators:
All existing workflows continue to work without changes. However, the Install Tool is now accessible via:
- The
__
parameter (e.g.,typo3_ install https://
)example. com/?__ typo3_ install - Backend routes like
/typo3/
andinstall /typo3/
keep working, if theinstall. php $GLOBALS
is set, the Install Tool adapts accordingly.['TYPO3_ CONF_ VARS'] ['BE'] ['entry Point']
System Recovery:
When TYPO3 installation is not set up or not working properly, the magic
__
parameter still redirects to the installer/maintenance tool
as before, ensuring administrators can always access system recovery tools.
Technical Benefits:
The Install Tool now uses the same routing infrastructure as the rest of the TYPO3 backend, creating a more unified and maintainable architecture while supporting the long-term goal of simplifying TYPO3's directory structure.
Migration
No migration is required. All existing documentation, scripts, and workflows using the Install Tool continue to function without modification.
