== Getting More Info ==
After the one click install of phpsysinfo in Amahi 6 or 7, you need to do some modifications to get all system information displayed.
==Install lm-sensors ==
=== Fedora ===
open a terminal session and login as root or if you have sudo configured use sudo in front of all commands. 

type
 su -
at the prompt enter your root password

then type
 yum install lm_sensors
 sensors-detect

=== Ubuntu ===

 sudo apt-get install lm-sensors
 sudo sensors-detect


Answer the questions. At the end of sensors-detect, Type "yes" to have sensors-detect insert modules into /etc/modules, or edit /etc/modules yourself  service module-init-tools start

See [https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto#Install_and_Configure_lm-sensors Install and configure lm-sensors] for additional help.

== Configure Settings ==
first make a backup of your original configuration file

 cd /var/hda/web-apps/phpsysinfo/html
 cp phpsysinfo.ini phpsysinfo.inibak

if neccessary

 yum install nano

modify the configuration file
 nano phpsysinfo.ini

optional changes

 DEFAULT_LANG="nl"
 LOAD_BAR=true
 USE_VHOST=true
 SENSOR_PROGRAM="LMSensors"
 HDD_TEMP="command"
 HIDE_FS_TYPES="tmpfs,devtmpfs"


For Ubuntu run also 
 sudo dpkg-reconfigure hddtemp
and set suid to YES 

after saving phpsysinfo.ini phpsysinfo will provide voltage, fan, temperature data and more

=== Configure SMART information ===

 yum install smartmontools

in phpsysinfo.ini
 PLUGINS="SMART"

 DEVICES="/dev/sda,/dev/sdb"

You also need to change the plugin script and give apache permission to use smartctl with the sudo command:

(source http://mewbies.com/how_to_install_phpsysinfo_nix_tutorial.html)

Because the cmd 'smartctl' is only available to root; it will not work for your web server, we need to set some permissions on it and change the command it uses:
First we make a copy of the original
 cp /var/hda/web-apps/phpsysinfo/html/plugins/smart/class.smart.inc.php /var/hda/web-apps/phpsysinfo/html/plugins/smart/class.smart.inc.php.bak
 nano /var/hda/web-apps/phpsysinfo/html/plugins/smart/class.smart.inc.php
Search for (Ctrl+w) (line 60): --all
It has this:

if ( trim($diskname != "") && (CommonFunctions::executeProgram('smartctl', '--all'.' '.$diskdev.' '.$diskname, $buffer, PSI_DEBUG))) {

Change it to:

if ( trim($diskname != "") && (CommonFunctions::executeProgram('sudo', '/usr/sbin/smartctl --all '.' '.$diskdev.' '.$diskname, $buffer, PSI_DEBUG))) {

Just a note that all we changed was:
 'smartctl', '--all'
To:
 'sudo', '/usr/sbin/smartctl --all '
Change yours to be the same, including the space: all '
Be sure that line isn't broken into multiple lines. If it is you'll see on your xml.php?plugin=SMART page errors containing: \n
And be sure that /usr/sbin/smartctl is the correct path for your installation of smartctl.

Next we need to add your web server group to sudo to be able to run smartctl cmds:
 sudo visudo
Paste in this line under '# User privilege specification', changing your
web server group (apache) to your own. For example I have pasted in:
 apache ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/smartctl
