Checking system requirements

We developed the LemonStand System Requirements Evaluation Tool which can help you to evaluate system requirements before you try to install LemonStand. You can download the tool using the following link:

How to use the tool

  1. Extract the archive contents to the directory you are going to install LemonStand to. After you extract the archive, the directory should contain 3 files (test.php, .htaccess and php.ini) and 1 directory (resources).
    Important: Mac OS does not show .htaccess files by default. You can find a solution here.
  2. Assign writing permissions for Apache for the entire installation directory and all subdirectories.
  3. Navigate to the test.php script in a browser. The URL of the script depends on your installation directory URL.

The evaluation tool will inspect your system and detect any possible issues. Also, it will suggest you whether you need to install any PHP loader in order to execute encrypted PHP files if you are going to use a developer LemonStand copy.

On this page you can see how the evaluation tool works on our server: http://res.lemonstandapp.com/test/test.php

This is fantastic, thanks so much for putting this together. I ran it on my own server (hosted by Media Temple) and realized I had to turn on PHP5 and also edit the global php.ini file. A few minutes later, I ran the test again, and I was ready to install LemonStand. This little tool really helps.

If you are using MAMP:

1. Click "preferences" in the MAMP application.
2. Choose the PHP page
3. Select PHP version 5.2.13
4. Select Zend Optimizer
5. Press "OK"

Enjoy!

@Jeroen - no, it applies limitations which are not compatible with some system features.

How can I assign writing permissions for Apache for the entire installation directory and all subdirectories?

@TJ - you can assign permissions with chmod command if you have command line access to the server, or by FTP. Please check Tips and Tricks section on our forum: http://forum.lemonstandapp.com/topic/860-tips-and-tricks/
