Upgrading your application code with patches
Sentrifugo works only on Apache Server
The system requirements for installing Sentrifugo are described below. Make sure your system meets these requirements.
a. PHP 5.3 or later You can download PHP 5.3 or later by visiting http://windows.php.net/download/
b. PDO MySQL (for MySQL connection) To install Sentrifugo on windows, you need to enable the PDO and PDO_MYSQL extensions in your php.ini file. You can add the following lines in your php.ini file:
1. extension=php_pdo.dll
2. extension=php_pdo_mysql.dll
c. Rewrite module (for working of MVC architecture) To activate the module, the following line in httpd.conf needs to be uncommented:
1. LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
To see whether it is already active, try putting a .htaccess file into a web directory containing the line
2. RewriteEngine on
If this works without throwing a 500 internal server error, and the .htaccess file gets parsed, URL rewriting works.
You also need to make sure that in your httpd.conf, AllowOverrides is enabled:
3. AllowOverride all
This is important as many httpd.conf ship by default with allowoverride none
