reqcheck.php

Post by cmb » Sat Apr 06, 2013 1:12 pm

Hello Community,

you may have already noticed, that I've written a small script, which is meant to check, if a server fulfills the requirements to run CMSimple_XH (so before uploading the whole shebang, the user has to upload a single script only): reqcheck.php. Of course this is only a draft; more checks could be implemented and it should be internationalized (and a bit styling won't hurt either).

What do think about it? Do you consider it useful? If so, we might put it on SourceForge.

I have seen something like that from another CMSes. I tried once one and got as answers that my server wasn't capable enough. We could put it also on cmsimple-xh.org ?

Great idea - to test hosting before installing CMSimple_XH!

I'm coming back to this topic after a long time, because recently I got a support request which could only be solved by some (educated) guess: it turned out that the mbstring extension was missing on the server, so CMSimple_XH 1.7.1 produced a white screen of death without any help from the debug mode.

Thus, I overhauled the old reqcheck.php script for CMSimple_XH 1.7.1, and would suggest to add it to the repo and default download of CMSimple_XH, so it can be maintained along with the rest of the core, and users can use it before or after installing CMSimple_XH; ideally before, but at least after such errors occur.

The script as it currently is:

It looks very good to me.
But I wonder how the inexperienced user should start the script before installing XH.
Maybe first upload it as index.php alone - and then overwrite it during the XH installation?
Or maybe you should build an installation routine after all?

It's all just a question of documentation - but how do you make it "very simple"?

Maybe you prefer a file that is aligned to the XH Style Guide?
Then you could try the following.
reqcheck.zip
