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 strongly recommended that you review the basic checks to ensure that the required components are available to FileCloud. Once the Basic checks pass, Extended checks should be reviewed to verify that required directories and configurations are available.

 Exif Extension

  • The Exif extension is used when uploading an image to generate a thumbnail.

  • It is also used to extract information for the built-in metadata set for images.

 

To disable: Open the php.inic file, comment out the Exif extension, and restart the web server.

When Exif is disabled in PHP: 

  • In the logs the Exif extension is listed as disabled.

  • Uploaded images do not have a thumbnail, and the Image metadata set is empty.

When Exif is enabled in PHP:

  • Uploaded images have a thumbnail.

  • The Image metadata set contains attributes for all image files.

  • This is the default behavior.

    FileCloud does not apply Image metadata for Azure/S3 Network Folders. 


 

This tool also reports problems so you can correct them before using FileCloud. 

All failures reported by the verification tool must be fixed before attempting to use FileCloud.


Reviewing the Verification Checks

To verify your FileCloud installation:

  1. From the FileCloud server, or the VM instance, open a web browser and enter the following address: 

http://<yourdomain>/install

Notes

  • By default, the address is: 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 review basic tests, select Basic Checks.

    3. To review more thorough tests, select Extended Checks.
