It doesn't take very much to get Symphony running on your server, and most commercial hosts easily meet the minimum requirements:
- PHP 5.2 or above
- PHP's LibXML module, with the XSLT extension enabled (
--with-xsl
) - MySQL 5.0 or above
- An Apache or Litespeed webserver
- Apache's
mod_rewrite
module or equivalent
The following are not required to run Symphony, but will help you take advantage of some of the system's more advanced features. Both are fairly widely supported, so chances are your server is already good to go.
