The exact requirements will depend on many factors.
Server Requirements
You must have a webserver that has PHP 4.3.1 (or better) and MySQL 4.1 (or better) installed. If you are unsure whether your server has these
programs installed, please check with your web host now. If you are capable, you can always
download PHP
and
download mySQL and install it yourself. If your web host does not support PHP or mySQL, consider hosting your entire web site with
PHPFOX Hosting services.
Konsort works both on Apache (1&2) and Windows IIS servers with any of the following operating systems Solaris, Linux, BSD, Windows and Mac.
PHP Requirements
In order to run this script PHP must have "open_basedir" turned "OFF".
As for the following:
- safe mode
- register_globals
- magic_quotes_runtime
we advice to turn these off for your security.
MYSQL Requirements
Apart from needing MySql version 4.1 (or better) installed you will also need the mySQL username and mySQL password for a mySQL user that has permission to "CREATE", "DROP" and "ALTER" tables.
You will need about 5mb of free web space and roughly 5mb of mySQL database space to allow installation and a moderately sized community.
If you are unsure on any of these points, please ask your webhost before proceeding.
Test the requirements
You can also download our test script
here. The zip package will have 1 PHP file called "phpfox.php". Upload that PHP file to your server and run it like: http://www.example.com/phpfox.php
