Concrete5 System Requirements
Concrete5 runs well on any web server that supports PHP. We prefer Linux based Apache
Recommended Web Servers
- Apache 1 or 2
- Microsoft IIS not recommended by Concrete5 developers but will run on that system
Recommended Database Servers
- MySQL 3.23.4 and up.
- MySQL4.0.15 and up with 5.x recommended
PHP Recommendations
- PHP 5.1.x and up with PHP 5.2.x recommended
Other Considerations
- Python 2.2 only needed when comparing versions of pages using HTMLDiff
- GD support
Our choice of the best packages to run Concrete5 is either our managed shared hosting or GoEasy plan both of them have been fine-tuned to run Concrete5. A lot of people recommend these as a perfect platform for Concrete5 web hosting.
