Title: Switching Forum Hosts... Post by: :MoD:Shade on May 19, 2005, 04:41:25 am Maybe somebody will know the answer to this, maybe not.
We have to switch the host of our forums, problem is that we are going to be switching from a Unix based Apache server to a WebSTAR server. We were just wondering first of if it's possible and second off how to do it, we would just need the root path. Title: Re: Switching Forum Hosts... Post by: Monoman on May 23, 2005, 11:30:13 am After a quick check of the readme for SimpleMachines, you should be find as long as PHP and MySQL are supported.
From the readme: Quote Your server must meet a few requirements to be able to run SMF. If you unsure as to whether your webserver meets these, please try the installer - it should detect any problems. * Any webserver that properly supports PHP, such as Apache or Internet Information Services (IIS). * PHP 4.1.0 or higher. The following directives are required to be set correctly in php.ini: * the engine directive must be On. * the magic_quotes_sybase directive must be set to Off. * the session.save_path directive must be set to a valid directory. * the file_uploads directive must be On. * the upload_tmp_dir must be set to a valid directory. * MySQL 3.23.4 or higher. * at least 512 kilobytes of storage space in the database, although more is highly recommended. * about two and a half megabytes of storage space on the web server, although more is recommended. Recommendations for best performance: * Linux or another Unix based operating system. * the GNU Aspell and its dictionaries for spell checking support. * Apache with AcceptPathInfo set to On (Apache 2 and later only) for queryless URL support. * PHP 4.3.0 or higher, with the following set in php.ini: * the max_input_time directive is set to a value of at least 30. * the post_max_size and upload_max_filesize directives are set to the size of the largest attachments you wish to be able to upload. * the session.use_trans_sid directive set to Off. * the memory_limit directive is set to at least 8M. * the max_execution_time directive is set to at least 15. * the register_globals directive is set to Off. * MySQL 4.0.15 or higher with query caching enabled. * GD Graphics Library 2.0 or higher. |
