Automatic server test will start during the first run of Flash Control Panel. If there are no errors found, you will be guided through the system quick setup process.

Automatic server test will check if the server meets all the requirements and is compatible with Flash CMS. Normally it checks PHP version installed, PHP extensions needed and file permissions set. In case your server does not meet the requirements specified on the template preview page, you can see the list of possible errors.

Possible errors and the ways to solve them:

- PHP version is lower than required. This error occurs if PHP version doesn't satisfy the requirements. In order to work with Flash CMS you will need PHP 5.2.1 or higher. If PHP version installed on the server doesn't correspond to the required one, please contact your hosting provider.

- PHP extension is not loaded. This error happens in case if some required PHP extensions are not installed. You need the following extensions to work with Flash CMS: spl, dom, reflection, mcrypt, curl, Zend Optimizer. These extensions are used by many scripts and in general are turned on by default. If by some reason something is turned off, please contact your hosting provider with a request to turn on all necessary extensions.

- Maximum upload file size is set lower than required. This error occurs if PHP settings don’t allow uploading files of more than 2 MB. This parameter is set in a way that the files are uploaded into your control panel at their size, but the minimum it should be set to 2 MB or higher.

- Directory or file is not readable or writable. Some directories and files should be readable and writable so that Flash CMS could work properly. To do this you need to set the following permissions: 777. (/xml - files and subdirectories, /media - files and subdirectories, /fonts - files and subdirectories, /images - files and subdirectories, /music - files and subdirectories, /video - files and subdirectories, /admin/logs - files and subdirectories, /admin/data - files and subdirectories, /admin/xml - files and subdirectories, /admin/config.xml.

- Mail function does not work on your server. Mail function is necessary for your password retrieval. Please contact your hosting provider to resolve this issue.

'View Server Information' button runs a file that displays all information about your server and PHP version. So, you can easily verify what options are turned on and off.
