The i-doit server needs to be connected to the internet for using the report browser. You can also define a proxy server in src/config.inc.php otherwize
hope this is the right "button":
in your config.inc.php file ist one setting "encoding" standard is latin1 you can change this to utf8 or whatever you need.
(Line 92: "encoding" => "latin1",)
Sorry for the holiday delay. Actually you can use reports (separate Report Manager needed) to furfill your capacity planning concerns. But we also think about a more integrated way of capacity planning… With that you could ask i-doit where to place the next server, depending on space, power or climatic concerns.
This would be great. Most of our data centers have a patch panel in server/device rows the run to a sister patch panel in a network row. Most of your device connections are "device" to row patch panel port to newtwork row patch panel port to "switch" slot/port.
I have not heard about yet. IIS should be working (theoretically), but there is no experience at all and i would advise not to use in a production environment.
The database layer of i-doit is actually not abstracted enough to change the underlying DB. There are plans to do so, but without schedule at the moment.
The statement of npotthast has been a bit too optimistic, i'm afraid. We are actually planning the model behind documentation of patch panels, converters and cables. And there will be a release in 2009...
