Post-installation and upgrade tasks

Instructions in this section are common to both new installations and upgrades, and should be applied after completing either process.

1. Test your configuration

   Load up admin/check.php to validate if everything is setup correctly.

   NOTE (for PHP 5.2 only): check.php sometimes reports the value of register_globals incorrectly. To confirm the correct value, Create a page with this line in it:

   <?php phpinfo(); ?>

   save it with a .php extension and load it up in your web browser.

2. Delete the admin folder

   For security reasons, the scripts within this directory should not be accessible on a live MantisBT site or on any installation that is accessible via the Internet.

   Once you have confirmed that the install/upgrade was successful, you should delete this directory

   rm -r admin
