Zomplog was built to work on the most common webserver configuration, that is:

* An Apache webserver
* Php version 4 or 5
* The GD-module for php, version 2 or higher

To use the friendly-urls feature (optional from Zomplog version 3.8.1 and higher) you need to have mod_rewrite enabled.

Troubleshooting

Most webservers meet these minimal requirements, so you needn't worry, but in case you do receive errors, here's some tips to help you and help the people on the forum find out more about your problem:

Create a phpinfo file

Often when something doesn't work as intended, the problem lies in the way php was configured on your server. A module might be missing, settings might limited, or maybe your host doesn't aloow Zomplog to access certain folders from within others (safe_mode). To find out more about how your version of php is configured, you can make use of a very handy php function called phpinfo();

Here's how:
* create a new file
* put the following line in that file:

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

* save the file as: phpinfo.php and upload it to your webserver
* open your browser and go to the url where you've uploaded it to
* tada! here's a detailed overview of your php configuration!

Enable php's built-in error_reporting

Php has a built-in function to report any errors, and give you more information about what went wrong. On some servers error_reporting has been activated by default, but in case it isn't, just add the following lines to config.php:

error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);

Posting the error message on the forum, will help us to find out more about what went wrong.
