Known bugs and other issues

• Use the "back", "forward" and "reload" buttons of your browser with care. For example, if you catalog an item and then you click on reload, you'll catalog it twice. Navigate using the program links. But they can help you in other situations (e.g. if you want to perform a cataloging operation with similar data to the previous, you can use 'back' to edit the previous values).
• Security: I haven't taken special measures to improve security. Your Apache and MySQL configuration should provide it. Pay special attention to the plain-text user and password information that is stored inside the config.php file. Think about who is that user, which privileges does he have and who can access to that file.
• You should catalog directories that you can READ. Otherwise it will result in uncompleted catalog or complete ERRORS (e.g. a normal user will probably fail to catalog /root/ directory). However, a lot of warning messages can appear during a catalog operations (normally related to permissions). I have left them there just like another source of information, but they don't mean that the cataloging operation has been a complete fail. Usually the catalloging operation can be completed despite of those warnings.
• The program does NOT mount the media you want to catalogue and it's not going to do so in the near future.
• PHP errors related to resource limits similar to this one: Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /...file in line Xcan be caused by the resource limit imposed by php for the execution of scripts when cataloging huge amounts of files. You can change the default values that come with the standard php installation in the file /etc/php.ini (e.g. increasing max execution time to 45, 60 or what you need) . The important section of /etc/php.ini is the one that follows :

  ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
  ; Resource Limits ;
  ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
  
  max_execution_time = 30     
  ; Maximum execution time of each script, in seconds
  memory_limit = 8M
  ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (8MB)
