Matomo Issue #700 - add a check for ZLIB extension at install

@mattab opened this Issue on May 11th 2009 Member

currently we don't check that the user has the zlib extension, but it is required for piwik to work correctly. We should add this check at installation.

added a patch to check extensions array for zlib.

i created another patch to reduce some code, only a suggestion... (if useful i will modify template too)

regards

pebosi: it looks good with the exception of the changes from lines 488-499. It looks like the version requirement has been reversed; meanwhile, there's no check when the gd extension is missing.

@pebosi commented on May 28th 2009 Contributor

my last patch also removes traling spaces...

@mattab commented on May 29th 2009 Member

pebosi, your patch is hard to read as you removed all white spaces etc.
can you please submit patch against trunk for only the lines you modified?

@pebosi commented on May 29th 2009 Contributor

added patch version without removing whitespaces

@mattab commented on May 30th 2009 Member

assuming it has been tested, looks good to me

@mattab commented on May 30th 2009 Member

actually we should also add SPL to the list of required extension as of #176

@robocoder commented on June 1st 2009 Contributor

Looks good (except for some minor formatting). Can you update the systemCheck template too and test it?

@pebosi commented on June 2nd 2009 Contributor

attached an updated patch and the first version of tempalte file (no patch). i replaced the help text of gd and extension-check with a link to http://piwik.org/docs/requirements/ (needs to be updated then)... only a suggestion ;)

regards

Sorry for not reviewing this sooner.

Controller.php: ereg should be replaced with preg_match() for php 5.3
systemCheck.tpl: one link to http://piwik.org/docs/requirements/ should be sufficient
lang/en.php needs to be updated

We should add/keep the informative help messages (e.g., Installation_SystemCheckPdoHelp). Perhaps:

$needed_functions = array(
    'set_time_limit' => 'Installation_SystemCheckTimeLimitHelp',
    'mail'           => 'Installation_SystemCheckMailHelp',
);
