Installing Requirements

From PHPDevShell

PHPDevShell requires the following software in order to function properly:

You need the following on your Apache server for PHPDevShell to work correctly.

   * PHP: PHP 5.2.0 is the minimum.
   * PHPDevShell was developed on MySQL 5.0.x, I believe older versions should work fine.
   * Apache: PHPDevShell was developed on Apache 2.x, 1.x should work fine though.
   * two PHP modules: gettext and mbstrings, which are bundled in every distribution.

In the future this might change, but we'll try to keep the requirements as low as possible.

The new Installer will check for everything your version needs.

Your server need to be able to send emails with PHP mail() or you should have SMTP server setting in order to allow people to register if the verification link is a requested option for the users to register successful amongst other email functions.

PHPDevShell has no dependencies other than the above mentioned. The latest TinyMCE editor module is supplied with the PHPDevShell install package.

To ensure compression/caching and friendly URLs you should have mod_rewrite Apache module installed for your server.

Only one MySQL database is required, with full access (a bunch of tables will be created and modified during installation and life of your site).

You will also need to know how to set up a cron job if you will be using the PHPDevShell Cron manager, only one cron is required, PHPDevShell manages the rest.
