After the FileCloud installation is completed, the following steps will help you prepare FileCloud for use:
- Verify Your Installation.
- Install the FileCloud License.
- Configure the Managed Storage Path.
- Enable MongoDB Authentication.
Verify Your Installation
FileCloud is bundled with a verification tool to help you test your installation. You can run this tool from the server where FileCloud is installed or remotely from a different system. This tool will perform various configuration checks related to your FileCloud environment.
Verification checks are grouped into two categories: basic and extended. It is recommended that you run basic checks at a minimum. For more thorough testing you can run extended tests.
Basic Checks verify:
| Apache Web Server | PHP ionCube extension 4.4.1 or higher |
| Apache Mod Rewrite | PHP bcmath extension |
| .htaccess Present | PHP SimpleXML extension |
| PHP 5.6 or higher | PHP mbstring extension |
| PHP MongoDB (mongodb ext) driver 1.2.3 or higher | PHP LDAP library (optional) |
| PHP GD Library | PHP Memcache Extension (optional) |
| PHP Zip library | Install in Server WWW root folder |
| PHP Curl Library | CloudConfig.php Readable |
| PHP OpenSSL library |
Extended Tests include:
CloudConfig.php readable
Localstorageconfig.php readable
Scratch Directory Writable
Config Directory Readable
Mod Rewrite Apache Configuration Setup Check
PHP Memcache Server (Optional)
Verification of Mongo DB connection
This tool will also report problems so you can correct them before using FileCloud.
All failures reported by the verification tool must be fixed before attempting to use FileCloud.
Running the Verification Tool
To verify your FileCloud installation:
- From the FileCloud server, or the VM instance, open a web browser and enter the following address:
http://127.0.0.1/install
To run verification tests from a system that does not have the FileCloud installation, replace 127.0.0.1 with the IP of the system where FileCloud is installed.
2. To run basic tests, select Basic Checks.
3. To run more thorough tests, select Extended Checks.
