rdufou, add the code to your template's template.css to remove the footer.

While I do appreciate all the hard work and contribution to the OS community that you guys have done, I have found on some of my website (pro ones)  that is necessary to remove the footer message. But please do give as much credit to these people that we can because what they have done is nothing less than extraordinary. Anyone can host professional websites from home or the cloud because of what they have done. 

I found the best way to do it other than CSS, because non-CSS pages will still have this footer message:

1. Login to webmin using your root account.

2. Under the Servers tab go into Apache.

3. Click Default server.

4. Under Per-Directory Options click Location /

5. Click Edit Directives.

6. Delete all the stuff in that box. Save and restart apache/ click apply changes.

7. Reload your webpage, you might need to clear your cache. 

Thanks CK for the info! I appreciate the work that you guys do with these TurnKey -servers but please keep in mind that this forcing-way of spreading your message can be harmful for your success. Hopefully you change this policy and continue the good work!

Too bad!

If it's about giving credit where it's due, you yourself removed the "powered by Drupal" from this very site.  With some little persistent bug like this in the code, I'm not going to use or recommend it now for production servers, which means it won't be an accurate test server either.

If I did use it, I'd be thinking:  What other little self-serving bugs have you placed in the stack/code?  Will redirect ads start popping up on all the turnkey sites in a few months?  Have you left backdoors?  Yikes!

I'm all about giving credit but when I am billing a client to setup a server and or web application it looks rediculous if they can just go to your website and download a new vm :)

Its great to help development and thats why I recently bought you guys 12 beers :)

Thanks

Kyle

which css file should be edited?  i'm using an appliance that was initially phpbb but now has wordpress on it, as well.

thank you..

I apologize if this is listed somewhere, I honestly have looked everywhere I can think of.

Can someone please explain how the Powered by TurnKey Linux footer is removed from the Moodle installation? 

(If my employer weren't billing for this installation and requesting the removal, I would leave it!)

Keep up the great work, I shall donate to the Beer Fund my friends.

Regards,

Josh

How is this message generated? Is it within Drupal somewhere or a directive to replace the </body> tag with the added code within Apache2? I'm curious to know; it seems a bit unsecure that an external process is modifying pages without my knowledge.

Perhaps this is a little too well embedded. I am trying to use the VM to run two test websites and the substitute mod is forcing its way onto my other CMS' pages. I worked for a company that makes a CMS product and we never assumed that the client will want Powered By... pasted into their design. We always asked them first. Maybe as a compromise you could put it in the standard template that comes with the CMS you are supplying.

I want to modify the credit on the Trust theme and I am having difficulty doing so because I can't find where the it is. Please help...

If you have administrative access to the host and you want to completely remove the "Powered by TurnKey Linux" you simply need to delete two symlinks and restart apache.  From commandline run the following commands (Assuming you are using Ubuntu):

rm /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/substitute.conf

rm /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/substitute.load

/etc/init.d/apache restart

Or you could use the new preferred way:

service apache2 restart

How do you remove the turnkey linux statement in joomla 2.5?  AI have tried all of the above.

whilst not a big deal, it is a bit of a pain to find this support thread and remove that footer, normally you'd expect an option somewhere to disable this easily.

whilst using this way to promote your service is great (I do this myself), it's important to make it easy to remove or you'll rub some people the wrong way ;)

could you not package a little plugin within WP instead of including those files? That way you can just deactivate it in your plugins page, or not!

I'm willing to write it up for you if you'll add it, it's one file a few lines :)

just getting started with tkl but so far, am seriously impressed, well done!

substitute is not an enabled mod in 12.0 vms

adding to any template CSS does not change/remove either

Suggestions?

Gentlemen, telling people to edit a css file is equivalent to telling people to put a flowerpot in front of the stain in the carpet.

It creates invisible text, readable by crawlers and bots-- bad juju for google.

I don't mind leaving your turnkey linux link. Setting up the server is something I cannot do, and I'm grateful to you guys that you have done it so well. I sure don't mind spreading the word. I have a few tech visitors, so who knows? Here's hoping!

but "wordpress application?" my virtual host-- despite my repeated requests to not be so kind, I can install wordpress with three clicks of the mouse, WP is famous for that-- she went ahead and saddled me with your self-congratulatory phrase. 

Ok, so thanks for this fantastic system.

Maybe it is an idea to charge money and get rid of this *&^%^&* footer thing of yours. Please try to learn marketing and you will soon understand the reason why not so many people like these kinds of footers. Not every site in the world is to reach tech geeks with tech geek stuff. Maybe it is hard for programmers to understand that they are not the only people that take use of the thing called world wide web these days, I hope this message will make you understand a glimps.

As you can see I'm pretty frustrated. I was almost ready with my site and noticed this anoying footer message. Came on this page and tried all the steps from css to the apache code named several times.

On restart apache: files not found, unable to restart.

I don't know what to do next and think about leaving this system behind. This way of working is certainly not meant for the group you are trying to reach.

Hi All

Could you guy please show me where the .css file is that needs to be changes. I followed the steps that CK and it did not work. I must say it was a point in the right direction.

Just to share what worked for me:

1: nano /etc/apache2/mods-available/substitute.conf
    and put a # tag in front of each line. ctrl+o, ctrl+x to save and close.

2: service apache2 restart

3: reload page.

done.

Reason I had to get rid of it, was because of a free template that also has a "powered by" footer hardcoded in to the php, and can't be removed. I love TKL, recommend it to all the techies I know.

Could you please tell me the exact location of the CSS file?

Best Regards 

When trying to disable mod_substitute it gives module already disabled. 

I'll begin by stating that TKL is one of the best open-source projects aorund, miles ahead of comparable, ready made appliances by other vendors. That being said, I'd defintely prefer to deploy some of them, especially in commercial environments, without the pesky footer.

I've looked at all the threads discussing how to disable the footer but neither the Apache mods-enabled commands work, nor does adding the line to display footer none in CSS files work for me.

May I request the TKL authors to provide a clear, step-by-step how-to document that clarifies how to remove the footer that is embedded in each appliance, especially the newest v13 appliances? Simply saying modify the template css file is not good enough as there is actually no template.css file to be found in /var/www directory. 

Trust me, this one step would be deeply appreciated by your community and will lead to more deployments of TKL appliances in enterprise networks, not less.

Many Thanks for your consideration!

Having tried the above and not getting anywhere, I did the following:

in /usr/share/owncloud/core/css/styles.css

Find the section: 

#body-login footer, #body-login .push {
height: 70px;
}

and edit so it reads:

#body-login footer, #body-login .push {
    height: 70px;
    display: none;
}

...and the credit should be gone.
