System requirements

From webtreesWiki

To install webtrees, you need:

• A webserver. Apache and IIS are the most common types. There are no requirements to use a specific type or version.

• Approximately 65MB of disk space for the application files, plus whatever is needed for your multi-media files, GEDCOM files and database.

• PHP 5.2.3 or later. Note that many web hosts offer *both* PHP4 and PHP5, often with PHP4 as the default. If this is the case, you will be able to switch between the two using a control panel or a configuration file. Refer to your web host's support documentation for details.
  • PHP should be configured with the PHP/PDO library for MySQL. This is a server configuration option. It is enabled by default on most hosts. See http://php.net/pdo
  • PHP should be configured to allow sufficient server resources (memory and execution time) for the size of your system. Typical requirements are:
    • Small systems (500 individuals): 16-32MB, 10-20 seconds
    • Medium systems (5000 individuals): 32-64MB, 20-40 seconds
    • Large systems (50000 individuals): 64-128MB, 40-80 seconds

• MySQL 5.0.13 or later. Note that webtrees can share a single database with other applications, by choosing a unique table prefix during configuration. If the number of databases is not restricted, you can set up a database purely for use by webtrees and create a separate user and password for only your genealogy.

• Internet browser compatibility. webtrees supports the use of most current versions of open-source browsers such as Firefox, Chrome, and Safari. We will do our best to support others such as Opera and Internet Explorer, though not their earlier versions. Currently many things do not work well in IE6, and some not in IE7 either. We strongly recommend anyone using these obsolete browsers upgrade as soon as possible. We are also aware that IE and Opera browsers provide poor RTL language support generally, so cannot recommend those for sites requiring RTL languages.
