Hi,

I think I'm doing something wrong. I added this on .htaccess but didnt work:
 

error_reporting(0);
ini_set('display_errors', 0);

this is php function not htaccess.

I would greatly appreciate your help on this, what should I add on my htaccess?

host/fluxcp/conf/error.php

 

Change:

$showExceptions  = true;              // Whether or not to show exceptions (only applies to error.php)

To:

$showExceptions  = false;              // Whether or not to show exceptions (only applies to error.php)

My response expands upon the answer Kakaroto provided.

Setting the configuration "$showExceptions  = false;" within the file "conf/error.php" will only turn off the FluxCP error output script.
If PHP is not configured to silence error reporting, information such as your document root absolute path could still display.

The larger concern is that an error message is exposing your document root absolute path.
The pathing information provides visitors with an idea of how your website is hosted.

Information examples include:
 - Are you using a multi-tenant hosting Control Panel solution, such as cPanel or DirectAdmin?
 - What is the hosting account or server Username? (A personal computer might expose your real name.)
 - Are there other directories of interest within the absolute path? (Relative pathing might allow unintended access to a file or software.)

You will not be able to hide your webserver public IP address without using advanced techniques.
I will not go over such techniques as it would take an unreasonable amount of time and effort to explain.

Cloudflare or other similar services should be able to provide any required DDoS protection.
