DokuWiki System Requirements
For running your own copy of DokuWiki you will need the following three:
-
Webserver with PHP support
-
Apache is preferred, but many others are reported to work fine
-
-
PHP 4.3.x. Because of some security issues PHP 4.3.10 or higher is strictly recommended. (RedHat Enterprise Linux has backported these security fixes into earlier versions: php-4.3.2-30 for RHEL V3, php-4.3.9-3.12 for RHEL V4)
-
Enabling short open tags shouldn’t be needed anymore 1)
-
PHP‘s GD extension for use with libGD 2 (a graphics library) is recommended but not needed
-
DokuWiki should work in PHP‘s Safe Mode, depending on your hosters configuration you may need to use the safemodehack option
-
DokuWiki is designed to run with PHP‘s Option register_globals set to off.
-
If you want to email registration confirmation to new users PHP needs access to sendmail.
-
-
A decent web browser (see compatibility list)
Additional plugins or features like the spell checker may have additional requirements.
Tip: To check your installed PHP version along with hundreds of
other settings, create a test.php file on your server with the
following PHP code in it.
<?php phpinfo(); ?>
Type the file’s URL into a browser to see the results.
Be sure to delete this
file after you have finished as it can pose a security risk by exposing a great
deal of information about your PHP and server configuration.
