Basic requirements of a Hosting plan
July 29, 2007, 04:27:16 pm
I’m reviewing my current hosting and was looking at the “What hosting services can I use?” page at http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/Hosting. However what I really need to know are some of the basics such as what must any host offer as a minimum to reliably deploy CiviCRM on.

Would anyone like to expand on this:
  • PHP 5
        PHP memory_limit >= 32M
        max_execution_time >=600
        register_globals = off
        safe_mode = off
        PHP / PEAR packages ?
        SOAP / CURL / ….
  • mySQL 5
  • SSH
  • Zend version greater than release 2.5.7.
  • Apache modules ?

I'm not really asking for a recommendation on host, more of a what to look for. Would be good to get this on the wiki.

Thanks, Henry

From the top of my head:

1. PHP5.2 + SOAP + curl + SSL (assuming u have contributions/events)

2. MySQL5 + InnoDB Support (also support for Views, Stored Procedures). A recent version of mysql (close to 5.0.45) is preferred

3. Apache 2.x with mod_deflate and mod_expires configured

4. shell access via ssh

5. depending on your needs and budget, preferably a machine with not a few hundred sites on it

6. If you need CiviMail you need more specialized hosting. However the UAS project (http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php/topic,415.0.html) might circumvent a lot of the specialized hosting needs
