Installation check

The installation check section performs various tests to ensure the correct installation of the system as well as to verify the presence of all the required libraries.

Several of these parameters are only available from PMA.core 1.1 and onwards, including: Operating System, IIS version, Application init time, Allow nested root directories, Application path, and Recognized file extensions.

The Webforms Timeout value indicates the amount of time after which an idle user gets logged out of the administration UI of PMA.core.
