Joomla! Tools Suite v1.0 & Health, Installation and Security Audit Tool
First release of what I hope is a useful little tool for Pre- and Post- Installation Joomla! v1.0 trouble-shooting. Joomla! Health, Installation and Security Audit (HISA)
Overview:
Following the success of WebSmurfs' "Joomla! Diagnostic Tool" it got me thinking and I figured that many of the Forum questions come from basic Web-Serving environment questions and many of the issues come from mis-configured PHP instances, therefore maybe some basic Post- (and Pre-) Installation tools might help.
Hence, HISA was kind of born (well with my coding capabilities, more like threw itself on the keyboard and committed hari-kari!) A very simple hack of the Web-Installer (index.php, the nice bits of code are original core team, the nasty bits are mine. Hope you guys don't mind me butchering your code!) to provide a self-contained, all-in-one tool script providing the following functionality;
* Pre-Installation Environment Audit
* Existing Installation Enviromment Audit
* Minimal Environmental Security Auditing
Normal Web-Installer checks are performed including additional basic Host, Web-Server, PHP, MySQL and Joomla! environmental information is displayed.

I used it and it's a walk in the park and highlights everything you WILL forget without using it!
