The Apache server provided within the NuSphere distribution includes SSL support. To provide you with the opportunity to test the secure mode, a test Digital Certificate is created as part of the installation.

4. FAQ: I just finished installing the NuSphere Technology Platform and I am receiving the following error, "Fatal error: Call to undefined function: xxxxx() in yyyyy.php", when I try to use the GD function within PHP. What's wrong?
In order to have the GD extension loaded you need to edit php.ini (which is located in your [nusphere installation directory]/apache/php folder) and uncomment the php_gd2.dll (or gd2.so for Linux and SunOS platforms).
5.FAQ: How can I enable CVS?
It's very simple. Create a project, set source control=> CVS, switch to CVS tab and enter all
properties according to your CVS repository. See CVS manual on how to create a repository.
All CVS commands will be shown in the workspace popup menu when you right-click on files,
directories or on the project itself.
6.FAQ: Is there a way to use SVN/GIT/CVS source repositories from within the IDE?
Yes, please install Tortoise SVN, Tortoise GIT, and/or Tortoise CVS. They will integrate their
interface with Windows Shell and all corresponding commands will be available in Workspace window
popup menu, Windows Shell submenu.
NOTE: you can hold Ctrl key down while invoking this popup menu and the menu with all Shell commands
will be invoked directly, not in submenu.
NOTE: if you run 64bit OS, you still need 32bit Tortoise packages. Some old distributions of Tortoise
for 64bit platform did not include 32bit versions. Please clarify with Tortoise authors/maintaners whether
32bit dlls are included.
7. FAQ: How do I setup phped with local Apache or IIS?
- Install debugger module on your server. See HOWTO: install debugger module

- Set Root URL to http://localhost/
- Set Run Mode to HTTP mode (3rd party WEB server)
8. FAQ: I'm about to install an upgrade of PhpED. How can I ensure that my settings and configurations will stay intact?
Please do not worry. Simply install the upgraded version into the same directory where your current installation of PhpED is. PhpED will not overwrite your settings.
