|
+!!Recommended Extensions |
+bitweaver takes advantage of particular PHP extensions for full functionality. If any of these extensions are not available to bitweaver, particular features might not work and it might even render particular packages useless. |
|
!!!!eAccelerator
|
[http://eaccelerator.net/HomeUk
|
|eAccelerator] increases the efficiency of php by caching and optimising queries. Using this extension will greatly increase your servers performance and reduce the memory needed to run bitweaver.
|
|
-!!!!Ghostscript
|
-[http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/|GhostScript] is an interpreter for the PostScript language and for PDF and is used to create PDF previews when uploading PDFs to fisheye. If you do not have this installed, previews of PDF files will not be generated on upload.
|
+!!!!gd |
+[http://www.boutell.com/gd/GD Libraries] are used to manipulate images. We use these libraries to create thumbnails and convert images from one format to another. The GD libaries are quite limited and __don't support__ a number of image formats including __bmp__. If you are planning on uploading and using a lot of images, we recommend you use one of the other image processors. |
+If you are running Red Hat or Fedora Core, you can try running: yum install php-gd. |
|
!!!!MagicWand
