Frequently Asked
Questions
You already have a hosting package or want to organise hosting for a new web site for yourself?
What are the server requirements to successfully install and run Itsnoprob's content management system?
For those having, or wishing to arrange, their own hosting arrangements, the following will hopefully prove helpful.
For those who would like us to take care of the hosting on their behalf please see the note at the bottom of this page.
We are confident that our content management system will run in virtually any server environment, whether UNIX (every flavour), Windows NT/2000, or other.
But below are the specific server requirements:
- Website - The software is installed on the actual computer that hosts your web site, which can be a dedicated server, shared server or virtual server. You can access the software from any computer using a web browser.
-
PHP 4.3.2+ - Your web server must have PHP 4.3.2 or better (without 'safe_mode' on). Your network administrator can download the latest version of PHP from http://www.php.net/. PHP is extremely common though, and installed on virtually every webserver on Earth.
- mysql PHP extension - Standard on almost all hosts, but your host can enable it if it is not running.
-
gd PHP extension - Comes standard with PHP, so if it is not running just get your host to enable the module.
-
MySQL 4.1.7+ - Your web server must have MySQL 4.1.7 or better.
- Write Access - You must be able to make files and directories writable on your web server. If the software doesn't have write access it won't be able to update its data files.
Sample Email for asking your host if they support these features:
Hello Web Host!
I'm interested in running some web software and I was wondering if you support the following features:
- PHP v4.3.2+ (without 'safe_mode' on)
- PHP Extension: mysql
- PHP Extension: gd
- MySQL v4.1.7+
- File Write Access (the script needs to update files)
Can you let me know?
Thanks!
If you're still not sure whether your web server meets the listed requirements, please contact us for assistance or...
PLEASE NOTE
If you are considering a new web site or have a web site into which you would like to incorporate content management and would consider transferring your site to a new hosting company, we can arrange cost-effective hosting on your behalf with a company that we have used for many years. This host will effectively run our content management system - after all, this web site is hosted with them!
