Fix Warning
Open the terminal window and navigate to the GLPI installation directory. In this example, my GLPI installation directory is /var/www/html/glpi.
cd /var/www/html
ls
To disable that warning, open and edit the SafeDocumentRoot.php file in the glpi/src/System/Requirement/ directory with the following command:
sudo vim glpi/src/System/Requirement/SafeDocumentRoot.php
Navigate to the end of the file, and you will see the warning as displayed in the image below:
To disable the warning, press the i key to switch to the editing mode in vim and add the command return; just above it.
After finishing, save and exit the file by pressing Esc, entering the command :x, and then pressing Enter
Next, restart the web server to apply the changes:
sudo systemctl restart apache2
Finally, refresh the page by pressing the F5 key, and you will notice that the warning no longer appears on the GLPI homepage.
