  Database Info

 
These fields define the database details RackForms will use.

RackForms supports several database vendor/driver combinations, for most users the MySQL via MySQLi option (the default), is what we want.

One of the most important and often tricky settings is the Database Host value. Some hosting companies like Host Gator will use a long string like domain.db.hostgator.com, while other will simply use localhost (the default). If in doubt please consult your web hosting control panel for the proper value to use.

  User Info

 
These fields pertain to our local RackForms installation. They define the user name and password we'll use to login to our RackForms instance, as well as the 'admin' email used in case we need to retrieve a lost password.

We also define our domain name here, this field is important in that its value must match the one we've provided in the domain name registration system.

Server Timezone should already be set, though it's possible it will need to be configured manually.

Installer Status Report

Please resolve all ERROR item(s) before continuing:

  • Your server doesn't have the finfo extension installed. On Windows make sure to include extension=php_fileinfo.dll in your php.ini.
  • Your server doesn't have output_buffering enabled. This is not a problem, but for best performance and reliability with RackForms, it is advisable that you enable it in your php.ini file with the default value of 4096.
  • Your server doesn't have the gd extension enabled. This may cause issues when generating PDF files. If you find that you cannot generate PDF files, please enable gd on your server.
  • ERROR: File Permission Error(s). Make sure all folders in the the /output directory are writeable by your webserver and/or the PHP owner process.
    Also make sure you have not removed/renamed the rackforms/output/ directory.
