You must have a webserver that has PHP 4.3.0 (or better) and MySQL 3.23 (or better) installed. If you are unsure whether your server has these
|
|
programs installed, please check with your web host now. If you are capable, you can always <a href='http://www.php.net' target='_blank'>download PHP</a>
|
|
and <a href='http://www.mysql.com' target='blank'>download mySQL</a> and install it yourself. If your web host does not support PHP or mySQL, consider hosting your entire web site or forums with <a href='http://www.ipshosting.com' target='blank'>IPS Hosting</a> services.
|
|
<br>Invision Power Board works best on an Apache server, and is Apache 1 and Apache 2 savvy.
|

|
|
<b>General Requirements</b>
|
|
<br>
|
|
You <b>do not</b> need a new mySQL database as Invision Power Board supports table prefixes to prevent tables being overwritten.
|
|
<br>You will also need the mySQL username and mySQL password for a mySQL user that has permission to "CREATE", "DROP" and "ALTER" tables.
|
|
<br>You will need about 5mb of free web space and roughly 5mb of mySQL database space to allow installation and a moderately sized community.
|
|
<br>If you are unsure on any of these points, please ask your webhost before proceeding.
