Requirements

Server

Drake CMS does not require any specific hardware, except for hard disk storage space, as it is written in the interpreted language PHP. The minimal requirements are:

If you do not have a professional database system you can use SQLite (embedded in PHP5) or the embedded Gladius DB (if you have the necessary write permissions for the webserver user/process).

If installing on your home or office computer (for local testing only) there are a number of packages for the various operating systems that will assist in establishing these requirements.

On remote, hosted or dedicated servers the configuration and availability of these applications will depend on the host provider or the operating system that is installed upon the server. The variation that can occur between providers and OS can be significant and is outside the scope of this brief instruction. If you encounter a problem with your host provider and the use of Drake CMS check the forums to see if other users have experienced the particular issue and what their solution was.

PHP

Drake CMS has been developed in order to use the most common PHP extensions, you should not need any specific additional extension in order to use it. If you found that Drake CMS is using an uncommon PHP function or extension, please report the fact to the development team.
