The FPA (Forum Post Assistant) utility is a single (standalone*) PHP script that collects diagnostic and configuration of the hosting server environment and Joomla! instance (if available). Primary focus of this tool is to produce a "pre-generated" forum post containing useful and relevant information to assist with problem diagnosis and resolution of a Joomla! installation.

PURPOSE FPA has been built with the express purpose of providing a simple to use diagnostic and reporting tool, that is capable of also highlighting a number of common issues or problems with hosting and configuring Joomla! that new-comers often come across.

AUDIENCE The FPA utility is designed to assist new, and non-technical users of Joomla! that are observing unexpected issues or problems with running or accessing their Joomla! based installation.
