I've installed a number of php packages for wordpress, mambo, etc and I've never had issues w/ having to check any php or apache requirements. But I have a customer who wants a private social networking site - it looks like elgg will meet the needs of the customer, but I wanted to check if there were issues w/ the php requirements - I have a windows based reseller account:
From the site:
http://docs.elgg.org/wiki/Installation/Requirements
Due to Elgg's advanced functionality, there are some extra configuration requirements:
* The Apache web server needs to be installed with the following modules:
o mod_rewrite
o PHP 5
* MySQL 5+ is needed for data storage
* PHP 5.2+ needs to be installed as an Apache module (not in CGI mode or safe mode) with the following libraries:
o GD (for graphics processing, eg user icon rescaling)
o JSON (for API functionality)
o Multibyte String support (for internationalisation)
It is recommended that you increase the memory available to PHP threads beyond the standard 8 or 12M, and increase the maximum uploaded filesize (which defaults to 2M). In both cases, this can be found in your php.ini.
Recommendations for plugins
* The following PHP libraries are also recommended for some plugins and extra functionality:
o SOAP
o DOM
I don't want to bother downloading and installing if I'm going to have issues.
Thanks in advance
Michelle
