        PHP 5.2 is known to be broken with phpSysInfo. There is allready a bug report
        on the php site. ( see http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=39737 )

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.
        
        If you use the apc pecl extension with apc.optimization="1" then
        phpSysInfo will break in the XPath.class. Turn this option off, and it
        will work with apc.
        
        That's it.  Restart your webserver (if you changed php.ini), and viola
        
KNOWN PROBLEMS
--------------
        -       phpSysInfo is not compatible with SELinux Systems
        -       small bug under FreeBSD with memory reporting

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)
                !!! We need feedback if these issue is still alive !!!
        -       Windows with IIS
                On Windows systems we get our informations through the WMI interface.
                If you run phpsysinfo on the IIS webserver, phpsysinfo will not connect
                to the WMI interface for security reasons. At this point you MUST set
                an authentication mechanism for the directory in the IIS admin
                interface for the directory where phpsysinfo is installed. Then you
                will be asked for an user and a password when opening the page. At this
                point it is necassary to log in with an user that will be able to 
                connect to the WMI interface. If you use the wrong user and/or password
                you might get an "ACCESS DENIED ERROR".

SENSOR RELATET INFORMATIONS
---------------------------
        -       MBM5
                Make sure you set MBM5 Interval Logging to csv and to the data
                directory of PHPSysInfo. The file must be called MBM5. Also make sure
                MBM5 doesn't add symbols to the values. Did is a Quick MBM5 log parser,
                need more csv logs to make it better.

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)
                (http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpsysinfo/)
        Ask for help in the forum
                (http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpsysinfo/)
        
        !! If you submit a bug or request some help, if something doesn't work,
        please check that you have set in config.php '$showerrors = true' !!!
