Upsilon Project Documentation

3.2. Web

3.2.1. Launching the installer

upsilon-web will automatically launch the web installer if it cannot find a config.php file. This happens when upsilon-web is initially installed (or it’s config file has been deleted).

This is what the upsilon-web installer looks like;

3.2.2. System tests

Various common tests will run to check that upsilon-web can be installed correctly. Everything should be green with a PASS in order to continue.

Most of these issues require additional packages to be installed, for example the pdoAvailable check can be fixed by doing yum install php-pdo on some systems.

3.2.3. Generate config.php

Database

When all the system tests have passed, you need to then configure the database connection.
