INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION

Typical installation

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 phpsysinfo.ini.new. If this a brand new installation, you should copy this file to phpsysinfo.ini 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'.

phpSysInfo require php-xml extension.

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 voila.

Docker container installation

• sudo docker build -t phpsysinfo github.com/phpsysinfo/phpsysinfo#main
• sudo docker run -i -p 8080:80 -t phpsysinfo
• go to http://localhost:8080/phpsysinfo/

KNOWN PROBLEMS

• phpSysInfo is not compatible with SELinux Systems
• small bug under FreeBSD with memory reporting

PLATFORM SPECIFIC ISSUES

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 necessary 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 RELATED INFORMATION

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. This 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:

Ask for help or submit a bug on Github (https://github.com/phpsysinfo/phpsysinfo/issues)

!! If you have any problems, please set DEBUG to true in phpsysinfo.ini and include any error messages in your bug report / help request !!
