(general_troubleshooting) Add Tideways as a problematic PHP extensions

Open joshtrichards opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

Tideways come up twice in the last couple weeks with the same impact: Files pane is completely blank in the Web UI and minimal to no indication of the cause.

It's also had some other interactions with different PHP versions specifically involving Symfony.

This adds it to the (existing) list of potentially problematic PHP extensions in the Admin Manual for admins to check for if they're experiencing problems.

Shouldnt there rather be an admin check for it in the admin overview directly?

I like the idea of doing a check, but I don't know of any others we currently check for. An interesting enhancement for the future. We do, however, expose the list of active PHP extensions via Admin->System.
