<h1>Document manager Administration manual</h1>

<p>Here is a list of document that administrators might find useful when
dealing with docman. They are ordered by importance, so be sure to read
them.

<h2>Reference reading</h2>
<ol>
<li><a href="install.html">Installation instructions</a> (<i>but, you already
read that, right?</i>)
<li><a href="faq.html">FAQ</a>  and optionally
<a href="upgrade.html">Upgrade from v1.x</a>
<li><a href="new_directory_layout.html">New Directory Layout</a> and how that increase security
<li><a href="performance.html">Performance tips</a>
</ol>

<h2>Errors</h2>

<p>There are two types of errors in document manager:
<ol>
<li>errors which are result of user actions (<i>and they are reposted to users</i>)
<li>errors which are result of configuration error (<i>which are by default reported to users, but they can be re-directed to error_log of Apache</i>)
<br>You can re-direct administrative messages using
<tt>$gblSeparateAdminMessages = 1</tt> in
<tt>realm/http_virtual_host.conf</tt>
<small>(See also explanation how to do that in
<a href="install.html#gblSeparateAdminMessages">Installation instructions</a>
)</small>
</ol>

<h2>Register Globals and PHP</h2>

<p>Starting with version 2.0 docman doesn't need
<tt>register_globals</tt> in <tt>php.ini</tt>.
That means that docman knows which variables should be result of POST and
what of GET which makes inserting bogus URL harder.
</p>

<h2>Unknown file types</h2>

<p>By default, docman will report administrative error on 
unknown file types (like pipes, block and character files).
You can change this behavior to ignoring those files by
setting
<tt>$gblIgnoreUnknownFileType = 0</tt> in
<tt>realm/http_virtual_host.conf</tt>
