Everyone -

I, like many people I'm sure, am running GL on a webhost where I don't have root. Is there a way I can check certain settings without those privilages?

For instance, I see references to settings in php.ini, the apache config files, and MySQL setups.

Please note that I would prefer command-line methods for the MySQL info, as my host won't allow me admin it from my own PC.

I'm very sorry if this has been answered already, I didn't find an answer out here yet.

Thanks in advance,

jkottler

Try navigating your broswer to
<site_url>/admin/install/info.php
and
<site_url>/admin/install/check.php

Those should give you all the needed information (and more).

To see PHP settings, create a small .php file that calls phpinfo().

If you need to change any settings then see if you have the ability to use .htaccess files. If you do, look throught the php docs and search for either php_value and php_flag. Both will allow you to configure most of the settings to your own needs.

I found that info on changing php stuff in the .htaccess somewhere, thanks! I think this is going to work out pretty well.

I just helped a friend install GL for his new site, too!
