Hi,

I am trying to install Exponential 4 on my managed Server (1&1 Germany).

1) Quest: What should I write to my php.ini "date.timezone = CET" or "date.timezone = Europe/Berlin"?
2) How can I find out if eZ Components are allready installed on my Server?
2a) If ezC are not installed (I think so), do I realy need to install ezC with PEAR or SVN? Or is it enough when I download ezC and upload them into the ezP directory like this "ezpublish4/ezc/"?
2b) Does ezP controll my ezC Installation during Setup?
2c) Does ezP run without any ezC (what are the negative results)?

I tried to install ezP just for fun and noticed that if i choose "MySQLi" Exponential said to me "Your MySQL Version 4.0.x is not good enough ;-)" but when I choose only "MySQL" there was no error. Is MySQL 4.1 STRONGLY Recommended?

Thank you very much for your support. I just try to install my Exponential very correct because I want to built an nice Website with it ;-)

Europe/Berlin should do it.

2) How can I find out if eZ Components are allready installed on my Server?

Asking your supplier would be the easiest way.

2a) If ezC are not installed (I think so), do I realy need to install ezC with PEAR or SVN? Or is it enough when I download ezC and upload them into the ezP directory like this "ezpublish4/ezc/"?

All the installation methods you mentioned are available, AFAIK. Here's some tips:
http://ezcomponents.org/docs/install
http://ez.ryba.eu/index.php/ez_components/ez_publish_using_ez_components_in_shared_hosting_environment

2b) Does ezP controll my ezC Installation during Setup?

Nope.

2c) Does ezP run without any ezC (what are the negative results)?

At present, eZC are required to add new extensions (regenerate autoload array). The dependency is probably expected to strengthen with upcoming releases.

I tried to install ezP just for fun and noticed that if i choose "MySQLi" Exponential said to me "Your MySQL Version 4.0.x is not good enough ;-)" but when I choose only "MySQL" there was no error. Is MySQL 4.1 STRONGLY Recommended?

It is REQUIRED:

MySQL 4.0.x and lower did not support unicode (among other things). MySQL 4.1 and up is a must.

Thank you!

But there are still some things I have to ask you ;-)

2.1) How can I test my ezC installation (PEAR Installation)? Is there any testezcomponents.php?
-> How can I test if Exponential recognizes ezComponents correctly?

2.2) My Host is not very fast with his answers, so I want to find out by myself: phpinfo() -> does not tell me anything about ezC, doesnt it? Or is there another way to look after ezC?

Thank you!
