1 <h1>Document manager Administration manual</h1>
2
3 <p>Here is a list of document that administrators might find useful when
4 dealing with docman. They are ordered by importance, so be sure to read
5 them.
6
7 <h2>Reference reading</h2>
8 <ol>
9 <li><a href="install.html">Installation instructions</a> (<i>but, you already
10 read that, right?</i>)
11 <li><a href="faq.html">FAQ</a> and optionally
12 <a href="upgrade.html">Upgrade from v1.x</a>
13 <li><a href="new_directory_layout.html">New Directory Layout</a> and how that increase security
14 <li><a href="performance.html">Performance tips</a>
15 </ol>
16
17 <h2>Errors</h2>
18
19 <p>There are two types of errors in document manager:
20 <ol>
21 <li>errors which are result of user actions (<i>and they are reposted to users</i>)
22 <li>errors which are result of configuration error (<i>which are by default reported to users, but they can be re-directed to error_log of Apache</i>)
23 <br>You can re-direct administrative messages using
24 <tt>$gblSeparateAdminMessages = 1</tt> in
25 <tt>realm/http_virtual_host.conf</tt>
26 <small>(See also explanation how to do that in
27 <a href="install.html#gblSeparateAdminMessages">Installation instructions</a>
28 )</small>
29 </ol>
30
31 <h2>Register Globals and PHP</h2>
32
33 <p>Starting with version 2.0 docman doesn't need
34 <tt>register_globals</tt> in <tt>php.ini</tt>.
35 That means that docman knows which variables should be result of POST and
36 what of GET which makes inserting bogus URL harder.
37 </p>
38
39 <h2>Unknown file types</h2>
40
41 <p>By default, docman will report administrative error on
42 unknown file types (like pipes, block and character files).
43 You can change this behavior to ignoring those files by
44 setting
45 <tt>$gblIgnoreUnknownFileType = 0</tt> in
46 <tt>realm/http_virtual_host.conf</tt>
47 </p>
48
49 <h2>Force download on view</h2>
50
51 <p>If you set options
52 <tt>$gblForceDownload= 1</tt> in
53 <tt>realm/http_virtual_host.conf</tt>
54 it will force download (and save to disk) if user wants to view file (just
55 clicks on filename). Checkout will always force download.
56 </p>
