Requirement

• Apache configured with “mod_rewrite” and the “AllowOverride” of your virtual host set to “FileInfo Options” or “All” (important !) a2enmod rewrite && apache2ctl restart

• PHP cannot be in safe_mode.

• To display a progress bar during the upload process you will need one of the following package installed on your system :

  • APC

    aptitude install php-apc
    echo "apc.rfc1867 = On"   >> /etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/apc.ini
    apache2ctl restart
    

  • PECL::UploadProgress

    aptitude install php5-dev
    pecl install uploadprogress
    echo "extension = uploadprogress.so" >> /etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/uploadprogress.ini
    apache2ctl restart
    

• You will need php5-curl to be able to authenticate against a CAS server

• You will need php5-ldap to be able to identicate with a LDAP server

• To use FileZ with its own user database, you'll have to manually create a database-table holding your users. The commands to do so are in the [[FAQ]].
