FAQ - Frequently asked Questions

Frequently asked Questions
  • Question: Can the Directory "storage" be renamed?
    Answer: Yes. You can rename the Directory "storage" arbitrarily.
  • Question: While Installing Quasars Storage, a blank Page appears. What is to be done?
    Answer: Your ISP (Internet Service Provider) has set the Function register_globals to off. Ask your ISP, if you can edit this Settings. If you run your own Webserver, open the File php.ini in the Root-Directory of your PHP-Installation and set the Variable register_globals to on, and the Variable safe_mode to off.
  • Question: While Installing Quasars Storage, a Database-Error will be announced. What is to be done?
    Answer: Check if the Information for the Database-Connection are correct.
  • Question: Files can’t be uploaded. What is to be done?
    Answer: The Directory storage/library/files possibly does not has the necessary writing Rights. Put the Access Rights by FTP to full Access (777).
  • Question: Files can't be uploaded, although Full-Acces has been set (777). A Message appears, that one ore more required Fields are empty. What is to be done?
    Answer: Your ISP (Internet Service Provider) has limited the Script-Runtime ore the Upload-Volume. Ask your ISP, if you can edit this Settings. If you run your own Webserver, open the File php.ini in the Root-Directory of your PHP-Installation and set the Variable register_globals to on, and the Variable safe_mode to off.
  • Question: User can't upload User-Images. What is to be done?
    Answer: The Directory storage/images/users possibly does not has the necessary writing Rights. Put the Access Rights by FTP to full Access (777).
  • Question: By sending E-Mails it is also sent an E-Mail to the given E-Mail-Address in the System-Settings. Is this correct?
  • Answer: Yes. The System uses an efficient Way to send E-Mails to Groups. The E-Mail won’t be sent to every single Receiver separately, but unique to the Server which carries the Distribution of all E-Mails. In Addition an E-Mail-Address must be used for the Distribution, which is the Admin-E-Mail in the System-Settings.
  • Question: Although the Report-Option has been activated in the Settings, no E-Mails can be received. What is to be done?
    Answer: The System sends E-Mails as Blind Copy (BCC). Maybe your E-Mail-Client or your E-Mail-Server has a Restriction of receiving Blind Copy E-Mails or it uses a Spam-Filter which filters BCC-Messages. Configurate your E-Mail-Client or Server, that BCC-Messages can be received.
  • Question: While limiting the Upload Size of Files the Information in the System-Settings is considerate, and not the Information in the User-Profile. Is this correct?
    Answer: Yes. If the Upload Size is defined in the System-Settings, this counts as a global Guideline and the Settings to the Users expire.
  • Question: While trying to remove the Installation-Directory, some Files and Directories can't be deleted. What is to be done?
    Answer: If you want to remove the System, use the integrated Uninstall-Function (Administration > Settings > Uninstall System now). Then you can delete all Files and Directories from your Webserver.
  • Question: While Activating Users by using the Activation-Link sent by E-Mail, an Error occurres. The Elements in the E-Mails are shown false, too. What is to be done?
    Answer: Check the URL to your Website (Administration > Settings > URL). It must be the correct Path to the Installation-Directory (e.g. http://www.server.de/storage).
