<li>How do I use secure server? |
5 |
<p> |
6 |
It's not docman specific. You just have to install SSL support |
7 |
for Apache (or your web server) and it will work (take a look |
8 |
at http://www.modssl.org/ for more info about installing |
9 |
Apache with SSL support) |
10 |
</p> |
11 |
<li>Images (icons) are not included in distribution |
12 |
<p> |
13 |
DocMan uses standard Apache icons (which are under |
14 |
/icons/ URL if you have Apache) or symbol font (available |
15 |
only under windows I'm afraid). |

<a name="php3"> |
18 |
<li>I'm having problems using docman with php3 |
19 |
<p> |
20 |
php3 isn't supported (intentionally). You should really upgrade |
21 |
to php4. From version around 1.8 there are so many dependencies |
22 |
on php4 that you don't even want to try to port it back to php3. |
23 |
</p> |
24 |
<li>I'm having problems with files bigger than 2/8 Mb |
25 |
<p> |
26 |
php has two limits on uploading files configured in php.ini |
27 |
<tt>upload_max_filesize</tt> is set to 2Mb by default, you should |
28 |
increase it. <tt>post_max_size</tt> is set to 8Mb by default and |
29 |
should be also increased for large files. |
30 |
<br><tt>memory_limit</tt> is 8Mb and you should increase that |
31 |
one too, and <tt>max_execution_time</tt> is by default 30 seconds. |
32 |
If your connection with docman site is slow, increase that also. |
33 |
</p> |
34 |
<li>I'm having problems with files bigger than 512 Kb with Apache 2.0 |
35 |
<p> |
36 |
If previous answer didn't help and you have RedHat (and possibly |
37 |
other distributions) changing <tt>LimitRequestBody</tt> in |
38 |
<tt>/etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf</tt> will help. |
39 |
</p> |
40 |
|
41 |
<li>I can't login back as same user after logout/relogin |
42 |
<p> |
43 |
It's a design decision to overcome some of problems with http |
44 |
authorization. You will have to login as <b>different</b> user to |
45 |
continue working. |
46 |
</p> |
47 |
<li>docman won't work with php 4.2.0 or higher |
48 |
<p> |
49 |
Version 2.0 of docman should work with php 4.2.0+ without |
50 |
registering of global variables (<tt>register_globals off</tt> |
51 |
option in php.ini). |
52 |
</p> |
53 |
<li>Does docman implement version control of documents? |
54 |
<p> |
55 |
Yes, in primitive form. In configuration file you have option |
56 |
<tt>$gblNumBackups</tt> (by default it's 3). This means that |
57 |
docman will keep 3 last versions of documents which are updated |
58 |
via check-out/check-in procedure. You can retrieve old versions |
59 |
by clicking on properties (icon left of filename) and then |
60 |
selecting version from "Changes to this file". |
