Server settings

Required Settings

The settings below are required by Bitweaver to run. If any of these settings are not met, you will have to change these before you can continue with the installation process.

PHP version is greater than 4.3.0.
Your installed version of PHP is 7.3.33.

The Bitweaver configuration file is available and the file is writeable:
/srv/website/bitweaver5/config/kernel/config_inc.php

The storage directory is available and it is writeable.
/srv/website/bitweaver5/storage/

The temp directory is available and it is writeable.
/var/lib/php73/php/myhomecloud.co.uk:8080

We have detected that we cannot access the _SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] variable from your browser. This can be because you have bookmarked this page and accessed this page directly. If so, this will probably not cause any problems during installation. However, if you came here from the welcome page, you are probably using some sort of firewall which is blocking this information (a common example is Norton Firewall). Please disable this feature or the firewall until the installation process is completed.

Your system meets all the requirements. You are ready to install Bitweaver.

Recommended PHP Settings

The following are settings that aren't strictly required by Bitweaver to run, but are recommendations. Bitweaver might still operate if your settings do not quite match the recommended. These settings can be adjusted by changing appropriate values in your php.ini file. If you should have problems setting these, please consult the documentation in the php.ini file itself and the PHP homepage.

php.ini setting should be actual
Memory Limit at least 16M 1024M
Safe Mode OFF OFF
Display Errors OFF ON
File Uploads ON ON
Magic Quotes GPC OFF OFF
Magic Quotes Runtime OFF OFF
Magic Quotes Sybase OFF OFF
Register Globals OFF OFF
Output Buffering OFF OFF
Session auto start OFF OFF

Not all the recommended setting have been met. However, your site might still work without problems. Please keep these settings in mind if you run into problems.

Recommended Extensions

Bitweaver takes advantage of particular PHP extensions for full functionality. If any of these extensions are not available to Bitweaver, particular features might not work and it might even render particular packages useless.

The extension zlib is available.
The zlib compression libraries are used to pack and unpack compressed files such as .zip files.

The extension gd is available.
GD Libraries are used to manipulate images. Bitweaver uses these libraries to create thumbnails and convert images from one format to another. If you are running Red Hat or Fedora Core, you can try: yum install php-gd. The GD libaries are quite limited and don't support a number of image formats including .bmp. If you are planning on uploading and using a lot of images, we recommend you use one of the other image processors.

The extension imagick is available.
ImageMagick supports a multitude of different image and video formats and can be used instead of the GD Libraries. Using these libraries will allow you to upload most image formats without any difficulties. For installation help, please view ImageMagick and MagickWand installation instructions or visit the ImageMagick homepage.

All recommended extensions are installed.

Recommended PEAR Extensions

PEAR provides extensions to PHP, which can easily be installed and updated using the pear interface on Linux. None of the extenstions below are required, they always provide an alternative to the existing methods available. Often these alternatives are superior to the default methods.

PEAR is available.
This check indicates if PEAR is installed and available. To make use of PEAR extensions, you need to make sure that PEAR is installed and the include_path is set in your php.ini file.

The extension PEAR::Auth is not available.
This will allow you to use the PEAR::Auth package to authenticate users on your website.
Install using this command:
pear install --onlyreqdeps Auth;

The extension PEAR::Text_Wiki is not available.
Having PEAR::Text_Wiki installed will make more wiki format parsers available. The following parsers will be recognised and used: Text_Wiki_BBCode, Text_Wiki_Cowiki, Text_Wiki_Creole, Text_Wiki_Doku, Text_Wiki_Mediawiki, Text_Wiki_Tiki
Install using this command:
pear install --onlyreqdeps Text_Wiki_BBCode Text_Wiki_Cowiki Text_Wiki_Creole Text_Wiki_Doku Text_Wiki_Mediawiki Text_Wiki_Tiki;

The extension PEAR::Text_Diff is not available.
PEAR::Text_Diff makes inline diffing of content available.
Install using this command:
pear install --onlyreqdeps Text_Diff;

The extension PEAR::Image_Graphviz is not available.
Pear::Image_Graphviz makes the {graphviz} plugin available. With it you can draw maps of how your Wiki pages are linked to each other. This can be used for informational purposes or a site-map. It requires the application graphviz to be installed on your server as well.
Install using this command:
pear install --onlyreqdeps Image_Graphviz;

The extension PEAR::HTMLPurifier is not available.
HTMLPurifier is an advanced system for defending against Cross Site Scripting (XSS) attacks and ensuring that all code on your site is standards compliant. It is highly recommended if you are going to allow HTML submission to your site. It is not required if you are only going to allow the input of a Wiki format like Tikiwiki or BBcode. You also need to enable it in the Liberty plugins administration after installation. See http://www.bitweaver.org/wiki/HTMLPurifier and http://htmlpurifier.org for more information.
Install using this command:
pear channel-discover htmlpurifier.org;
pear install hp/HTMLPurifier;

The extension PEAR::HTTP_Download is not available.
Treasury - the file manager of Bitweaver - can make use of PEAR::HTTP_Download to provide more reliable downloads and download resume support when using a download manager.
Install using this command:
pear install --alldeps HTTP_Download;

Installation help: None of the recommend extension are required. However, they do enhance some Bitweaver features. To install PEAR for your Bitweaver site, choose one of the following methods. Users in a shared hosting environment without PEAR should download the pre-packed set:


Recommended Executables

Here we test for a set of executable files on your server. These files are not mandatory but will enable you to perform certain tasks. We generally try to avoid using external applications, but sometimes it's the easiest and quickest way to achieve a certain goal.

The application tar is available.
Tarball is a common archiving format on Linux and tar is used to extract .tar files. For windows use bsdtar from gnuwin32 ( See Windows notes for installation help ).

The application bzip2 is available.
Bzip is a common compression format on Linux and bzip2 is used to extract .bz2 and in combination with tar .tar.bz2 file. ( For windows see bsdtar above. )

The application gzip is available.
Gzip is a common compression format on Linux and gzip is used to extract .gz and in combination with tar .tar.gz file. ( For windows see bsdtar above. )

The application unzip is available.
Zip is a common compression format on all operating systems and unzip is used to extract .zip files.

The application unrar is not available.
Rar is a common compression format on all operating systems and unrar is used to extract .rar files.

The application gs is available.
GhostScript is an interpreter for the PostScript language and for PDF and is used to create PDF previews when uploading PDF files to Fisheye. If you do not have this installed, previews of PDF files will not be generated on upload. If you have difficulties with GhostScript, please try installing a different version. Bitweaver was successfully tested with versions 7.5, 8.15.4, 8.5, 8.54. There where difficulties with version 8.1.
Your version of GhostScript: 10.04.0

The application graphviz is available.
Graphviz is a way of representing structural information as diagrams of abstract graphs and networks and visualizing that representation. It is used by the {graphviz} Liberty plugin and you only need to install it if you intend to enable that plugin.
The Pear::Image_Graphviz plugin is required as well.
Your version of Graphviz: dot - graphviz version 2.48.0 (0)

Please bear in mind that certain options will not be available to you due to the fact that some of the applications Bitweaver uses are not available. E.g., if unzip is not available, .zip files cannot be processed after uploading them.
