and change the line
memory_limit = 32M
to the line
memory_limit = 128M

6. Installing PEAR and PECL Packages
These add extra functionality to php
sudo apt-get install php-pear php-mdb php-mdb2-driver-mysql libmagic-dev php5-dev
sudo pear install text_password console_getopt
sudo pecl install Fileinfo
If the last command doesn't work try
sudo pear install pecl/Fileinfo
echo extension=fileinfo.so | sudo tee /etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/fileinfo.ini

7. Ubuntu and APC
Want to install APC a module that allows caching of data between http requests
sudo apt-get install php-apc sudo gedit /etc/php5/conf.d/apc.ini
Add the following lines:
apc.shm_size=100 apc.slam_defense = Off

8. Ubuntu Lucid and APC Work aournd APC bug in Ubuntu Lucid:
sudo apt-get install php5-dev apache2-prefork-dev sudo apt-get remove php-apc sudo pecl config-set preferred_state beta sudo pecl install APC sudo pecl config-set preferred_state stable
Set the configuration options for APC:
sudo gedit /etc/php5/conf.d/apc.ini

9. Configuring Memcahced
(Optional) Install memcached for speedy generation of iHRIS reports in the background
sudo apt-get install memcached grep ENABLE /etc/default/memcached
Ensure that it says ENABLE_MEMCACHED=yes
Now enable php memcached module
sudo apt-get install php5-memcached

12. Link iHRIS Site with iHRIS Library
We now need to edit the site configuration file
sudo gedit /var/lib/iHRIS/sites/manage/iHRIS-Manage-BLANK.xml

<path name='modules'> <value>./modules</value> <!-- If this site module is not installed under the iHRIS Manage ...--> </path>
to:
<path name='modules'> <value>./modules</value> <value>/var/lib/iHRIS/lib/4.0.7</value> </path>
