INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION
------------------------------
Just decompress and untar the source (which you should have done by now,
if you're reading this...), into your webserver's document root.
There is a configuration file called config.php.new. If this a brand
new installation, you should copy this file to config.php and edit it.
- make sure your 'php.ini' file's include_path entry contains "."
- make sure your 'php.ini' has safe_mode set to 'off'.
Please keep in the mind that because phpSysInfo requires access to many
files in /proc and other system binary you **MUST DISABLE** php's
safe_mode. Please see the PHP documentation for information on how you
can do this.
That's it. Restart your webserver (if you changed php.ini), and viola!
KNOWN PROBLEMS
--------------
- small bug under FreeBSD with memory reporting
- XML will not work properly/validate under anything except Linux and
Net/FreeBSD The "This is Under Development" warning gets printed and
isn't valid in XML.
PLATFORM SPECIFIC ISSUES
------------------------
- FreeBSD
There is currently a bug in FreeBSD that if you boot your system up and
drop to single user mode and then again back to multiuser the system
removes /var/run/dmesg.boot. This will cause phpsysinfo to fail. A bug
has already been reported to the FreeBSD team. (PS, this may exist in
other *BSDs also)
WHAT TO DO IF IT DOESN'T WORK
-----------------------------
First make sure you've read this file completely, especially the
"INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION" section. If it still doesn't work then
you can:
Submit a bug on SourceForge. (preferred)
