System info before install

Post by cb2004 »

The system info section in the admin is great. But can you make a file which can be run on the server before install to see if everything is ok? I think this would save a lot of questions if a compatibility script could be run pre install as some people struggle to get the install script running at all.

Create a text file called phpinfo.php add this code.

Code: Select all

<?php 
phpinfo();
?>
Save it and copy the file to your webserver and navigate to the url e.g. http://webserver/phpinfo.php

This will give you all the PHP information on your server.

DON"T FORGET TO REMOVE IT WHEN YOU HAVE FINSIHED!

I have used that many time in the past. But it would be nice to see green ticks and red crosses instead of going through the whole find process.

Upload the install folder and run install/index.php
You have same checks of systeminfo (and a few more)
