Required Webspace

From EQdkp Plus Wiki

The following requirements must be met if you want to install and run EQDKPlus:

  • PHP 5.x
    • PHP-extension cURL
    • PHP-extension fopen
    • PHP safe-mode has to be deactivated
    • Many plugins use PHP-MBString and require mb_convert_encoding to be enabled. Most web-hosts will have this automatically enabled.
  • MySQL server-Version 5.x
    • MySQL server strict-mode has to be deactivated


If you don't know your versions or settings upload a little .php file

Alternative 1: phpinfo()


Create an empty file with the following code pasted:

<?PHP

  phpinfo();

?>
  • Safe this file to info.php and upload it to your webspace
  • Open your browser and enter the URL to this file. Now you should see all needed informations


Testing cURL and fopen


Ask your provider if your webspace supports those functions or test yourself:

Create a file with this pasted:

<?PHP

if (function_exists('curl_init'))
{
             echo ("cURL function found <br />");
             if (ini_get('allow_url_fopen') == 1)
                   {
                             echo ("fopen function found <br />");
                   }
                   else
                   {
                             echo ("fopen function deactivated <br />");
                    }  
} 
else if (ini_get('allow_url_fopen') == 1)
{
             echo ("cURL not found <br />");
             echo ("fopen function found <br />");
}
else
{
             echo("The php functions <a href=http://php3.de/manual/en/ref.curl.php>cURL</a> and 
                   <a href=http://de3.php.net/manual/en/function.fopen.php> fopen </a>
                    are not available on your webspace ! <br>
                    Please contact your hoster and ask him to enable those functions!");
}

?>
 
  • Safe this file as info.php and upload it to your webspace
  • Open your browser and enter the URL to this file. You should see the results of the tests there.
