This page is still incomplete. Please help us to write a comprehensive CONTENIDO documentation. |
In order to use CONTENIDO with full functionality and without problems, there are several requirements that your system must fulfill.
PHP version
| Version | Description | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| < 5.2.3 | Won't work. | ||
| 5.2.3 up to 5.4 | Works fine! | ||
| > 5.4 | Probably works fine.
|
PHP settings
| Setting | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
file_uploads | "1" | You can't upload files using CONTENIDO's file manager unless you configure PHP for file uploads. See http://www.php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.file-uploads for more information. |
| magic_quotes_runtime | Off | CONTENIDO has been developed to comply with magic_quotes_runtime=Off and magic_quotes_sybase=Off as these are the PHP default settings. |
| magic_quotes_sybase | ||
| max_execution_time | >=30 | Configuring PHP for a maximum execution time of less than 30 seconds could cause problems with slow web servers and/or long operations in the backend. Our recommended execution time is 120 seconds on slow web servers, 60 seconds for medium ones and 30 seconds for fast web servers. |
| memory_limit | >=32MB | CONTENIDO requires at least 32 MB memory to operate correctly. We recommend to disable this setting completely, as this can cause problems with large CONTENIDO projects. |
| open_basedir | open_basedir directive doesn't enforce any restrictions The directive open_basedir is set to '.' (e.g. current directory). This means that CONTENIDO is unable to access files in a logical upper level in the filesystem. This will cause problems managing the CONTENIDO frontends. Either add the full path of this CONTENIDO installation to the open_basedir directive, or turn it off completely. Setup believes that the PHP directive open_basedir is configured sufficient, however, if you encounter errors like 'open_basedir restriction in effect. File <filename> is not within the allowed path(s): <path>', you have to adjust the open_basedir directive Setup has checked your PHP open_basedir directive and reckons that it is not sufficient. Please change the directive to include the CONTENIDO installation or turn it off completely. | |
| sql.safe_mode | Off | Enabling sql.safe_mode may cause problems with the SQL queries issued by CONTENIDO, so better turn it off. |
PHP extensions
| Extension | Description |
|---|---|
| gd | Some third-party modules rely on the GD functionality. If you don't enable the GD extension, you will encounter problems with modules like galleries. |
| pcre | CONTENIDO uses PCRE-functions like preg_repace and preg_match and won't work without the PCRE extension. |
| xml | CONTENIDO won't work without the XML extension. |
PHP classes
| Class | Extension | Description |
|---|---|---|
| ZipArchive | zip | This class is used for module export. If it is missing, CONTENIDO still is able to run. |
| DOMDocument | xml | Various classes regarding to XML files uses this class. CONTENIDO won't work without it. |
PHP functions
CONTENIDO requires a set of functions that are essential but somtimes disabled either by using certain flags, when compiling the PHP iinterpreter, or by disabling functions in the PHP configuration file php.ini via the disable_functions directive.
| Function | Extension | Description |
|---|---|---|
| escapeshellarg | These functions are required to test if the CLI program convert, which is part of ImagMagick, is available. | |
| exec | ||
| iconv | iconv | CONTENIDO won't work without the iconv function. PHP has probably been compiled with the --without-iconv parameter. |
imagecreate | gd | This function is required to resize images when the ImageMagick program is not used. |
| imagecreatefromgif | gd | When GD lib is activated, it can support various image types. In order to resize or scale certain images, the image support (and therefore the corresponding function) must be available. If this functions are not avaiable, ImageMagick can be used. If GD and ImageMagick is not installed, this could cause some problems with modules. |
| imagegif | gd | |
| imagecreatefromjpeg | gd | |
| imagejpeg | gd | |
| imagecreatefrompng | gd | |
| imagepng | gd | |
| xml_parser_create | xml | CONTENIDO won't work without it. Either the XML extension is not loaded or this function is disabled. |
Other programs
| Program | Description |
|---|---|
| MySQL | MySQL is the database system of CONTENIDO. Also it must not run in strict mode as this can cause some problems. |
| ImageMagick | ImageMagick is only needed if the GD lib extension is not available. |
Filesystem
CONTENIDO requires to have write permissions in order to write some files.
These system folders and files need write permissions:
ROOT/data/logs/errorlog.txtROOT/data/logs/setuplog.txtROOT/data/cronlog/pseudo-cron.logROOT/data/cronlog/session_cleanup.php.jobROOT/data/cronlog/send_reminder.php.jobROOT/data/cronlog/optimize_database.php.jobROOT/data/cronlog/move_old_stats.php.jobROOT/data/cronlog/move_articles.php.jobROOT/data/cronlog/linkchecker.php.jobROOT/data/cronlog/run_newsletter_job.php.jobROOT/data/cronlog/setfrontenduserstate.php.jobROOT/data/cronlog/advance_workflow.php.jobROOT/data/cacheROOT/data/tempROOT/data/config/config.php
These client folders need write permissions:
