question about version control

1 dpavlin 1.1 <h1>Frequently Asked Questions about Document Manager</h1>
2    
3     <ol>
4     <li>How do I use secure server?
5     <p>
6     It's not docman specific. You just have to install SSL support
7     for Apache (or your web server) and it will work (take a look
8     at http://www.modssl.org/ for more info about installing
9     Apache with SSL support)
10     </p>
11     <li>Images (icons) are not included in distribution
12     <p>
13     DocMan uses standard Apache icons (which are under
14     /icons/ URL if you have Apache) or symbol font (available
15     only under windows I'm afraid).
16     </p>
17     <a name="php3">
18     <li>I'm having problems using docman with php3
19     <p>
20     php3 isn't supported (intentionally). You should really upgrade
21 dpavlin 1.2 to php4. From version around 1.8 there are so many dependencies
22 dpavlin 1.3 on php4 that you don't even want to try to port it back to php3.
23 dpavlin 1.1 </p>
24     <li>I'm having problems with files bigger than 2/8 Mb
25     <p>
26     php has two limits on uploading files configured in php.ini
27 dpavlin 1.4 <tt>upload_max_filesize</tt> is set to 2Mb by default, you should
28     increase it. <tt>post_max_size</tt> is set to 8Mb by default and
29 dpavlin 1.1 should be also increased for large files.
30 dpavlin 1.4 <br><tt>memory_limit</tt> is 8Mb and you should increase that
31     one too, and <tt>max_execution_time</tt> is by default 30 seconds.
32     If your connection with docman site is slow, increase that also.
33 dpavlin 1.1 </p>
34 dpavlin 1.5 <li>I'm having problems with files bigger than 512 Kb with Apache 2.0
35     <p>
36     If previous answer didn't help and you have RedHat (and possibly
37     other distributions) changing <tt>LimitRequestBody</tt> in
38     <tt>/etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf</tt> will help.
39     </p>
40    
41 dpavlin 1.1 <li>I can't login back as same user after logout/relogin
42     <p>
43     It's a design decision to overcome some of problems with http
44 dpavlin 1.2 authorization. You will have to login as <b>different</b> user to
45 dpavlin 1.1 continue working.
46     </p>
47     <li>docman won't work with php 4.2.0 or higher
48     <p>
49 dpavlin 1.3 Version 2.0 of docman should work with php 4.2.0+ without
50     registering of global variables (<tt>register_globals off</tt>
51 dpavlin 1.1 option in php.ini).
52     </p>
53 dpavlin 1.6 <li>Does docman implement version control of documents?
54     <p>
55     Yes, in primitive form. In configuration file you have option
56     <tt>$gblNumBackups</tt> (by default it's 3). This means that
57     docman will keep 3 last versions of documents which are updated
58     via check-out/check-in procedure. You can retrieve old versions
59     by clicking on properties (icon left of filename) and then
60     selecting version from "Changes to this file".
