I've just checked in to cvs a suite of testing scripts that check to verify that you're Syntax site is setup correctly. At Forum One, we've had an internal deployment script to use for setting up a new site. But if you're installing Syntax on a foreign server, you've had to hope that the planets are correctly aligned, that you've followed the installation instructions correctly, and that we didn't leave out a critical installation step. This script, which I've placed in the public/admin/testing directory checks the following:

• availability of smarty and Adodb.
• connection to the database specified in config/db.conf.php.
• Syntax framework initialization
• critical directories are writeable by the web server

This will be a part of the next Syntax release but until then you can check out the module ( syntax-cms/src/public/admin/testing ) from CVS on tigris.
