Summary0019583: Add $g_crypto_master_salt to sample config file
Description

I tried mantisbt-1.3.0-rc1-dev-master-83a66f1 to upgrade my 1.2.19 installation, and admin/install.php told me to add $g_crypto_master_salt to my config_inc.php file.
I do that but I had always the same error till I paste the result of
cat /dev/urandom | head -c 64 | base64
for $g_crypto_master_salt value.

Steps To Reproduce

$g_crypto_master_salt = 'lkfqsdjfklmqsdjfmklqsdfjlmqsdkfjqsldkmjf';
in config_inc.php

Additional Information

Additionnaly, there is no $g_crypto_master_salt in config_inc.php.sample.

TagsNo tags attached.

$g_crypto_master_salt = 'lkfqsdjfklmqsdjfmklqsdfjlmqsdkfjqsldkmjf';
in config_inc.php

I was not able to reproduce the error with this string.

there is no $g_crypto_master_salt in config_inc.php.sample.

This is by design actually - the idea behind the salt is that it should be unique to each instance; if we provided a valid value in this file, many administrators will just rename the sample file and use the provided value as-is, defeating its purpose.

What I can do is add $g_crypto_master_salt = ''; in the sample file with a comment indicating that it should be filled, if you think that would be more clear.

Details Diff		 Add $g_crypto_master_salt to sample config file

Since the string is required for MantisBT to operate, including it in
the sample file gives a good hint to administrators that they need to
initialize it.
