During Kimai development we kept an eye on high compatibility, so the server requirements are:
MySQL 4.1 and PHP 5 with PDO
IMPORTANT! Remove the ‘installer’ directory when you’ve successfully installed Kimai.
When you update an existing installment (at least version 0.7), just replace the entire Kimai folder on your server except the file ‘includes/conf.php’. Additionally you need to make all ‘compile’ folders (also inside all extension subfolders!) writable for PHP. Writing permission must also be granted to the ‘temporary’ folder and the included ‘logfile.txt’.
CAUTION: The conf.php changed! Please look inside the conf.default.php which lines have to be added to your old conf.php.
When Kimai doesn’t start the reason is probably wrong writing permissions on the mentioned files and folders! Users also encountered problems with older PDO version – see support forum for more detail
For coming versions (>0.8.0) you need to keep the file ‘autoconf.php’ when you installed Kimai via the UI-Installer (not by editing the ‘conf.php’).
So far we have two more extensions for download. These are meant for all who whould like to develop extensions for Kimai – a demo-extension and a debug-extension (kind of…). You can download them both in this developer-package
There is no print option inside of version 0.8 jet! The old 0.7.x Hack ‘simplestats’ by Martin Klemkow is beeing prepared to be the default print extension. You can download an hotfix that works with 0.8. Download: stats08hack v0.3
