<h1>Frequently Asked Questions about Document Manager</h1> |

<ol> |

<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 |

<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 |
to php4. From version around 1.8 there are so many dependencies |
| 22 |
on php4 that you don't even want to try to port it back to php3. |
| 23 |
</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 |
<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 |
should be also increased for large files. |
| 30 |
<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 |
</p> |
| 34 |
<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 |
<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 |
authorization. You will have to login as <b>different</b> user to |
| 45 |
continue working. |
| 46 |
</p> |
| 47 |
<li>docman won't work with php 4.2.0 or higher |
| 48 |
<p> |
| 49 |
Version 2.0 of docman should work with php 4.2.0+ without |
| 50 |
registering of global variables (<tt>register_globals off</tt> |
| 51 |
option in php.ini). |
| 52 |
</p> |
| 53 |
<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". |
