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
