Requirements for the pH7 "Dating Community Social" software

Server:

Minimum:

  • Operating System - Linux/Unix (Red Hat, CentOS, Debian, FreeBSD, Mandrake, Mac OS, etc.), Windows.
  • Web Server - Apache with mod_php enabled, PHP in CGI, FastCGI mode, or with nginx (lighttpd, LiteSpeed and IIS should also work but you have to change some piece of code to make it working).
  • URL rewriting extension module - Apache, nginx, lighttpd, LiteSpeed, IIS (for Web.config, you have a good tutorial here).
  • Minimum Web Space - 2.0 GB
  • Specific Requirement - Server has to be connected to Internet
  • Video Module Requirement (only if enabled) - FFmpeg

Recommended:

  • JRE (Java Runtime Environment) - 1.6 or higher (used for compressing static files. The option is disabled by default and uses our homemade compressor instead. However, if you have Java installed on your server, it would be nicer to enable that option).
  • Apache ModSecurity disabled - pH7Builder may not work correctly if enabled, so it's advisable to disable it for your domain (just ask your Web host or do it through cPanel).

  • PDO extension
  • GD complied with your PHP Build

    exec() function is needed if the minify Java compiler is enabled (disabled by default).
