[edit] System Requirements
You need:
- A Webserver that is capable of handling PHP scripts (i.e Apache HTTPD Server)
- PHP 5.1.0 or newer with the following extensions
- PCRE Extension
- Session handling enabled
- MySQL Extension
- GD Extension
- IMAP Extension (c-client imap library)
- gettext support if you want to use localization
- An SMTP and POP Server for email support
- MySQL Database Server (you can get it from the MySQL Download page)
-Eventum 2.0.1 may give an SQL syntax error for using 'DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8' with MySQL 4.0.18, The installation worked fine for me on a machine running MySQL 5.0.21
[edit] Checking PHP Requirements
If a requirement is missing from your PHP installation, Eventum will output information about those missing modules. You can also check using one of the following methods:
[edit] Via the Command Line
Type this command as any user:
php -m | egrep -i '(gd|imap|mysql|pcre|session)'
NOTE: If your system has multiple PHP installations, be sure to use the complete path to the same php binary that is used by your web server.
[edit] Via the Web
To see if your webserver handles PHP scripts and meets the requirements from above, just place a file with the extension '.php' somewhere in your webspace and put the following content into it:
<?php phpinfo(); ?>
Open that file in your browser. If PHP is installed on your webserver you will see information about configuration and extensions installed together with PHP.
