I did the perfect setup for ISPC2 and am wondering if I have the following php and mySQL requirements to run a magento e-commerce site: PHP: -5.2.13 Required extensions: -PDO-MySQL -simplexml -crypt -hash -GD -DOM -iconv -curl -SOAP (if Webservices API is to be used) MySQL: -4.1.20 or newer -innoDB storage engine
I believe it was this one: http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_ubuntu704 If there are some things missing, is it difficult to install them?
Might be that php is too old. Check it with: php -v I'am also not sure if all php extions are installed. The easiest way to find that out is to install magento. The magento installer will tell you then if something is missing.
The PHP on the server is newer, so we're fine there. Which extensions are you not sure about, and is there any way to confirm? I don't want to buy magento and the friend won't want to move his site unless we're relatively sure it will work.
Magento should work on your server. It might just be that you have to install a missing extension. E.g. like curl You can install them with: apt-get install php5-curl If you want to test it, just download magento and install it. Magento has a free edition as well. You can also check your php modules with the phpinfo() function.
