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 5.5 is not yet fully tested. |
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 as this is the PHP default setting. You have to change this directive to make CONTENIDO work. |
| magic_quotes_sybase | Off | The PHP Setting 'magic_quotes_sybase' is turned on. CONTENIDO has been developed to comply with magic_quotes_sybase=Off as this is the PHP default setting. You have to change this directive to make CONTENIDO work. |
| max_execution_time | >=30 | PHP is configured for a maximum execution time of less than 30 seconds. This 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 | The memory_limit directive is set to 32 MB or lower. This might be not enough for CONTENIDO 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 | The PHP directive sql.safe_mode is turned on. This causes problems with the SQL queries issued by CONTENIDO. Please turn that directive off. |
PHP extensions
| Extension | Description |
|---|---|
| gd | The PHP GD-Extension is not loaded. 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 | The PHP PCRE Extension is not loaded. CONTENIDO uses PCRE-functions like preg_repace and preg_match and won't work without the PCRE Extension. |
| xml | The PHP XML Extension is not loaded. CONTENIDO won't work without the XML Extension. |
PHP classes
| Class | Description |
|---|---|
| ZipArchive | This could cause some problems, but CONTENIDO is able to run without it. You should check your PHP installation. |
| DOMDocument | The class DOMDocument could not be found. Please check your PHP installation and enable the XML extension if necessary. 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 function in the PHP configuration file php.ini.
| Function | Extension | Description |
|---|---|---|
| escapeshellarg | These functions are required to test if the CLI program 'convert', which is part of ImagMagick, is available. | |
| exec | ||
| iconv | PHP has been compiled with the --without-iconv directive. CONTENIDO won't work without the iconv functions. | |
imagecreate | gd | GD extension is available and usable to handle images |
| imagecreatefromgif | gd | Your GD version doesn't support reading/writing GIF/JPEG/PNG files. This might cause problems with some modules. |
| imagegif | gd | |
| imagecreatefromjpeg | gd | |
| imagejpeg | gd | |
| imagecreatefrompng | gd | |
| imagepng | gd | |
| xml_parser_create | xml | The function xml_parser_create could not be found. Please check your PHP installation and enable the XML extension if necessary. CONTENIDO won't work without it. |
Other programs
| Program | Description |
|---|---|
| MySQL | MySQL is running in strict mode, CONTENIDO will not work with this mode. Please change your sql_mode! |
| ImageMagick | ImageMagick extension is available and usable to handle images |
Filesystem
