phpSysInfo 2.2 - http://phpsysinfo.sourceforge.net/ Copyright (c), 1999-2002, Uriah Welcome (precision@users.sf.net) Copyright (c), 1999-2001, Matthew Snelham (infinite@users.sf.net) CURRENT TESTED PLATFORMS ------------------------ - Linux 2.2+ - FreeBSD 4.x - OpenBSD 2.8+ - NetBSD - Darwin/OSX If your platform is not here try checking out the mailing list archives or the message boards on SourceForge. (PS, I don't know how/want to do a Win32 port, but I'll be happy to take a patch) 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. - 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. That's it. Restart your webserver (if you changed php.ini), and viola! KNOWN PROBLEMS -------------- - small bug under FreeBSD with memory reporting - XML will not work properly/validate under anything except Linux and Net/FreeBSD The "This is Under Development" warning gets printed and isn't valid in XML. 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) 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 have two options. 1. Submit a bug on SourceForge. (preferred) (http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpsysinfo/) 2. Send an email to the developer list. (phpsysinfo-devel@lists.sourceforge.net) OTHER NOTES ----------- If you have an great ideas or wanna help out, just drop by the project page at SourceForge (http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpsysinfo/) LICENSING --------- This program and all associated files are released under the GNU Public License, see COPYING for details. $Id: README,v 1.18 2002/06/05 21:50:31 precision Exp $
