In opencart version 3 there is a notification:
It is very imporant that you move the storage directory outside of the
web directory (e.g. public_html, www or htdocs)

I tried by clicking on move button in the picture also tried manually but after trying it is giving weird errors.

Answer 1

You can move storage directory outside of the web directory (e.g. public_html, www or htdocs) in three ways
Automatically Moving
Manual Moving (from admin panel)
Manual Moving ( By editing Config files)...
Assuming that you know first and second methods.Here I will explain the third method to you.
Copy your storage directory from system/storage to public_html, www or htdocs.
Change the following file path from both config files i.e. config.php and admin/config.php as shown below.
define('DIR_STORAGE', 'public_html/storage');
Please replace public_html to your desired path.
I hope this answer might help you.

Answer 2

It is very simple to remove / hide this dialog box:
open 'admin/controller/common/dashboard.php' file
search below line
$data['security'] = $this->load->controller('common/security');
and replace it with below line
$data['security'] = '';
That's it :)

Answer 3

Change directory path as decribed abowe--but when You save the config.php use utf8 encoding. I have worked 2 hour on it- did everithing i found on google, but nothing worked. Just this simple thing!

Answer 4

I also ran into this little problem, and the fault was layer 8 (problems between the keyboard and the chair)
I hadn't read the code that I had to change correctly and I was doing it wrong, I'll explain better in case someone runs into the same problem:
capturing the variable to be deleted
I was just replacing the new directory path, not removing the DIR_SYSTEM variable.
you have to delete DIR_SYSTEM and place the new route. that's all.
For this reason it gave me an error and so I came to this post.
It is my first contribution. I hope this helps you.
