Re: [Tiki-devel] Packages and Fitness Check not working

Hi Devs,

I am starting to get back into Tiki work (I am not a coder) and 
currently I am on a shared host with mariadb and without shell access.
So currently I have to download Tiki and to install manually. I 
typically use the latest Tiki in this case.

It is 1 month now since I did read about the problems with Packages the 
first time recently I did install a few Tiki 21.4 on my host to start 
with a few little projects.
At the point when I start the Packages feature to get any of the cool 
features like mpdf or other, I get the WSOD blank page and cannot 
continue with that part ... very sad.

As far as I understand, the problem occurs in several Tiki versions and 
in several if not all server setups, so I think this is kind of a severe 
problem.
First thing:
Many thanks to everybody who is contributing to solve the problem.
Second:
What can I do as a non-coder with literally no financial budget to help 
solving the problem?
Third:
Is it a problem with original Tiki code, or is it a Composer problem? 
Does it occur on all servers or just under specific conditions?

Best regards,
Torsten
