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().

I have some issue installing geeklog. Is there anyone can help me

Thanks - that should be enough information to hold me for a while...

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!
