Troubleshooting

Some problems might occur when using GitList. Refer to this page for more info.

Installation problems

If you're having problems during the installation of GitList, make sure your PHP is correctly configured. Certain PHP distributions can have very restrictive default PHAR settings. PHAR is used within GitList to load Silex, a microframework. Setting the following directives on your php.ini might solve your problem:

detect_unicode = Off
phar.readonly = Off
phar.require_hash = Off

If you have the Suhosin patch (Ubuntu has it by default) you will also have to set this:

suhosin.executor.include.whitelist = phar

Error: Compilation failed: missing )

Make sure you are using the latest libpcre version. GitList requires at least 8.x.
