INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION

Typical installation

Just decompress and untar the source (which you should have done by now,
if you’re reading this…), into your webserver’s document root.

There is a configuration file called phpsysinfo.ini.new. If this a brand new
installation, you should copy this file to phpsysinfo.ini and edit it.

• make sure your php.ini file’s include_path entry contains “.”
• make sure your php.ini has safe_mode set to ‘off’.

phpSysInfo require php-xml extension.

Please keep in the mind that because phpSysInfo requires access to many
files in /proc and other system binary you MUST DISABLE php's safe_mode.
Please see the PHP documentation for information on how you
can do this.

That’s it. Restart your webserver (if you changed php.ini), and voila.

Docker container installation

• sudo docker build -t phpsysinfo github.com/phpsysinfo/phpsysinfo#main
• sudo docker run -i -p 8080:80 -t phpsysinfo
• go to http://localhost:8080/phpsysinfo/

KNOWN PROBLEMS

• phpSysInfo is not compatible with SELinux Systems
• small bug under FreeBSD with memory reporting

PLATFORM SPECIFIC ISSUES

Windows with IIS

On Windows systems we get our informations through the WMI interface.
If you run phpSysInfo on the IIS webserver, phpSysInfo will not connect
to the WMI interface for security reasons. At this point you MUST set
an authentication mechanism for the directory in the IIS admin
interface for the directory where phpSysInfo is installed. Then you
will be asked for an user and a password when opening the page. At this
point it is necessary to log in with an user that will be able to
connect to the WMI interface. If you use the wrong user and/or password
you might get an “ACCESS DENIED ERROR”.

SENSOR RELATED INFORMATION

MBM5

Make sure you set MBM5 Interval Logging to csv and to the data
directory of phpSysInfo. The file must be called MBM5. Also make sure
MBM5 doesn’t add symbols to the values. This is a Quick MBM5 log parser,
need more csv logs to make it better.

WHAT TO DO IF IT DOESN’T WORK

First make sure you’ve read this file completely, especially the
“INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION” section. If it still doesn’t work then
you can:

Ask for help or submit a bug on Github (https://github.com/phpsysinfo/phpsysinfo/issues)

!! If you have any problems, please set DEBUG to true in phpsysinfo.ini
and include any error messages in your bug report / help request !!
