Requirements and Setup
This page lists the minimum requirements for installing Tikiwiki.
Table of contents
Requirements
Webserver
Tiki is developed and widely tested with Linux and Apache. However, Tiki should run on any webserver that supports PHP, like Windows/IIS, lighttpd etc. but you should expect to need to tweak things. Please see the Windows_compatibility_project.
Your webserver should be configured with the following minimal requirements:
- 512 MB RAM
- 100 MB free storage
Database
Tikiwiki requires an active relational database connection. The database can be installed in the same physical location of the webserver (localhost). It can also be a remote database. Tikiwiki is developed and tested mainly on MySQL databases:
- MySQL 5 or higher
- MySQL 4.1 or higher (Issues reported with Tiki 2.x and MySQL 4.0)
Possible but not recommended databases
- PostgreSQL (doesn't work with Tiki3, but work is ongoing to fix for Tiki4)
- SQLite (doesn't work with Tiki3, but work is ongoing to fix for Tiki4)
Oracle(abandoned)Sybase(abandoned)MSSQL(abandoned)
For an idea of the issues: http://dev.tikiwiki.org/Database+independence
PHP
Tiki version 3 (or later) requires PHP 5 with the MySQLi extension.
- max_execution_time = 300 ; Maximum execution time of each script, in seconds
- max_input_time = 60 ; Maximum amount of time each script may spend parsing request data
- memory_limit = 32M ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume
More information
[+]Optional Software or Libraries
Some TikiWiki feautures require the following additional software or libraries:
| Feature | Additional Requirements |
| Image processing, used for thumbnail generation, dynamic chart generation, and to prevent bot/automatic registration. | Use either GD Library 1.5 (or higher) or ImageMagick. ImageMagick is included, by default with PHP 4.3+ |
| WikiGraph for creating and manipulating graphs. | GraphViz |
| Webmail | PHP 4.2+ |
| PDF Generation | php-xml |
| Manage and display maps as a GeoCMS (Geospastial Content Management System). | Mapserver 4.6+ |
| Rewrite Tiki's default URLs | Use the Apache Rewrite Rules to create shorter, or custom, URLs. |
Fantastico (and other ISP panels)
If your web host uses Fantastico or another web hosting control panel, you'll need to verify that their script will install the current version of Tikiwiki, with all the proper security updates.
Using Fantastico for upgrades is not recommended as it will not preserve any theme changes, image galleries, etc. that have been made.
