I have been able to help a little with installation testing on Windows...

octests

octests is a small collection of web pages and php scripts designed as a helper suite during installation of OpenCollection on Windows (32 bit platforms, XP, server 2003 etc). Read more about OC installation on Windows here.

There's no particular reason it won't work on any PHP/MySQL platform but its built & tested on Windows XP.

Currently it simply provides:

• access to PHP info
• lists some PHP settings of interest to an OC installation
• lists loaded (or not) extensions of interest to an OC installation
• a test script for MagickWand for PHP
• a MySQL database creation/check script

To install just unzip the package into your web documents directory (e.g. htdocs) where it should appear as octests (e.g /htdocs/octests) and become available via the webserver (e.g. http://localhost/octests/index.php).

Download octests.zip (last update 26July07)

ImageMagick

ImageMagick. There isn't really any documentation about getting MagickWand (the PHP extensions for ImageMagick) installed on PHP for Windows so we have created some here.
