hammerstringz Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 (edited) I've been looking all over this website for hosting requirements for self-hosting for 4.7.9. Anyone know where I can find the list of requirements? All I see is to download some sort of technical coding for compatibility that I really don't understand. Any recommended hosts that offer installation and everything besides IPB Cloud? Edited April 5, 2023 by hammerstringz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Calvert Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 There is a compatibility checking script that will help you figure out if you meet the requirements. That will even include all of the specific PHP modules and memory settings. Check out: hammerstringz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerstringz Posted April 5, 2023 Author Share Posted April 5, 2023 Yeah. That's the thing I don't understand. I'm hunting for website hosting and I don't want to have to buy it first then find out it's not going to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Calvert Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 The critical thing is PHP8.0 or 8.1. When I get home (Im mobile), I’ll run the script and paste the output. That should give you what you need. hammerstringz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hunting for website hosting and I don't want to have to buy it first then find out it's not going to work. Actually they are on the bottom of the purchase page before you purchase it. The software requires secure versions of PHP (currently PHP 8), with GD, mbstring, and all default PHP extentions, along with mySQL. hammerstringz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
