Web client running even when disabled in config

[jrick]

I'm running 0.19.0 built from source on centos, and was previously running a synapse 0.18.7 instance on a debian server using the official packages. I'm not sure if this is related to a change between the package and the source install, or if it is a bug in the 0.19 release. Regardless, in my config i have the line:

web_client: False

Yet the bundled web client is still running.

On my previous 0.18 instance, trying to access the server in a web browser opened a 404 error page with the message "No such resource".

The listener config contains a resource section:

- port: 8008
    tls: false
    bind_address: ''
    type: http

    x_forwarded: false

    resources:
      - names: [client, webclient]
        compress: true
      - names: [federation]
        compress: false

Drop the webclient from the resource section of the listeners, where you don't want it to be active.
