Installer: Remove file that reveals unnecessary system information

Description

This should be removed from the repo and manually extracted from the .wxs file:

/Installer/Support/Web/Apache2/htdocs/phpTest.php

I'm sure there are other things we should be doing to reduce the standard profile of a MapGuide Apache / install.

Maybe as a start, also set "ServerTokens Prod" in the server properties and "Options -Indexes" for the MapGuide directory in httpd.conf, and "expose_php = Off" in php.ini.

Fixed in r3794. Note that the "Option Indexes" setting was not applied because this would have broke the mapviewer directories underneath.

I'm pretty sure that DirectoryIndex is what controls which file to use as the default "index" for a particular directory. All that Options -Indexes does should be to prevent mod_autoindex from kicking in and showing visitors a directory listing via HTML.

If I set Option Index to the web root directory (I assume this is the directory you're talking about?), the mapviewer(php/net/java/ajax) directories will be denied access.

I just attached the change I made on my local install.

This prevents users from getting a directory listing of those folders, but still allows requests to:

/mapviewerajax/?....

to work properly. As far as I could tell, everything worked fine when viewing a basic layout via a preview.

Applied your patch in r3795
