Server Compatibility Wizard¶

If you’re not sure whether your server meets the minimum requirements, the server wizard will run some tests and give you an answer.

• Download and unzip the archive.
• Upload the folder to your server.
• Point your web browser to the folder. For example: http://example.com/ee_wizard

Spell Check¶

To use the spell check feature, your server must have PHP compiled with pspell support or be able to contact remote servers though PHP. If you are unsure if your server is set up for this, ask your web host or server admin to check for you.

Multibyte Support¶

For full support of multibyte encodings, ask your web host or server admin to set mbstring.func_overload to 6 in your server configuration by editing php.ini as shown below:

; overload(replace) single byte functions by mbstring functions.
; mail(), ereg(), etc are overloaded by mb_send_mail(), mb_ereg(),
; etc. Possible values are 0,1,2,4 or combination of them.
; For example, 7 for overload everything.
; 0: No overload
; 1: Overload mail() function
; 2: Overload str*() functions
; 4: Overload ereg*() functions
mbstring.func_overload = 6

Apache Server¶

If you are hosted on an Apache server, the AcceptPathInfo option needs to be enabled for URLs to work properly. Most servers are configured this way by default, but if yours is not, you have a few options:

• Include AcceptPathInfo On in your .htaccess file to enable it
• Ask your web host or server admin to enable the option
• Set your site’s URLs to use query strings

URL Segment Support¶

If the Server Compatibility Wizard lists URL Segment Support as Unsupported, you will need to set your site’s URLs to use query strings.
