Requirements
Short Version: If you use DreamHost or have root access to your (Linux/Unix/BSD/OSX) web server, it is very easy to setup and everything works fine. Otherwise, it's hard to say if it will work on your server because of the requirements below. Long Version: Technical requirements include: · Linux, Unix, BSD or OSX (with libcurl) · 2 MySQL databases (v.3.23, v.4 or v.5) · Apache (v.1.x or v.2.x) · PHP (v.4 or v.5) · The "apache" user must be able to write/edit files in the main website folder (htdocs, www, web, etc...) · The system requires rsync to copy files from the primary codebase. Notes: - Important: PHP safe-mode, register_globals and magic_quotes must be turned off - Apache 2.0 may require the following .htaccess modification ("AcceptPathInfo On") to enable the AcceptPathInfo directive. - The appGenerator will not run on any version of Microsoft Windows at this time. Hosting Requirements - The appGenerator can be easily setup on any dedicated or VPS (virtual private server) server (where you have root access). - Shared hosting accounts often have restrictions that prevent the appGenerator from working properly, however, we have found that DreamHost offers low-cost hosting that meets all of the system requirements. To bypass the register_globals issue in Dreamhost, you must change to PHP5 hosting, which has register_globals turned off by default. |
