the message boards on SourceForge.
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' !!!
