Frequently Asked Questions
What are the system requirements?
Textpattern 4.0.x requires a web server with:
- PHP 4.3+
- MySQL 3.23+
- The PHP mysql extensions
- The PHP XML extension (included by default in PHP)
In addition to the above minimum requirements, we recommend the following:
- PHP 4.4.1+ or 5.0.2+, in mod_php or fastcgi mode
- MySQL 4.1.7+
- PHP extensions:
- Apache 1.3+ or 2.0+ with mod_rewrite
- A Unix server OS with locale support
Textpattern probably works on any web server that supports PHP. It is reported to work well on IIS and Lighttpd. Clean URLs are possible on those systems, with the right configuration, but are not officially supported.
Experimental support for PostgreSQL is included in the 4.1 development branch. You can help ensure its survival by testing and submitting patches.
