Similar to Server check, let's make a Tiki recovery feature/mode. Like tiki-install.php, this should only be accessible if you have DB password and should auto-lock. In fact, this could just be a mode/page of tiki-install.php rather than a new file (ex.: tiki-recovery.php)

• Tiki Install is to install and upgrade
  • Tiki TRIM is for mass deployments
• Tiki Check and Permission Check are to manually check Server Compatibility issues (for a new install or a server migration)
• Tiki Monitoring is to detect issues and send alerts
• Tiki Recovery is to fix a Tiki that was once working, but stopped working for some reason

It should be possible to set any pref

• which can lead to being locked out of Tiki (think Safe Mode)
• which can be used to debug
• Should be possible to set memory_limit, like WordPress (of course, if server lets you)
  • If server doesn't let you, link to documentation about php.ini and htaccess

Debug

• PHP error reporting level:
• Add HTML comment at start and end of each Smarty template (TPL).

Recover from a crash

• Some operations can lead to be locked out of Tiki
  • Show last 20 prefs that were changed and offer to revert
  • Copy to clipboard

    session_protected ->  {tr}Protect all sessions with HTTPS.{/tr} {tr}Only activate if you have already configured SSL, otherwise, your will lock yourself out of Tiki.{/tr}
