Magento Server Compatibility Check
From Brian Nelson Ramblings
Magneto Server Compatibility Check
In order to run Magento your server needs to meet some basic software requirements, below is a script that Magento has developed that tests to see if your server is compatible with Magento.
wget http://www.magentocommerce.com/_media/magento-check.zip
or you can download copy from us
wget http://www.briansnelson.com/stuff/magento-check.zip
Next step is to extact the zip file
unzip magento-check.zip
Now you will want to load the file from your browser.
http://<YourDomain>/magento-check.php
If your file does not run correctly, you might need to replace the <? with <?php at the start of the script.
