Requirements for running Contentor
Contentor requires:- Apache web server v.1.3.+ (see v.2.0 note)
- PHP scripting language (v4.1.0 or later)
- MySQL database
Your system administrator should be able to confirm that your system meets these requirements. For the MySQL database, you need to have the MYSQL host name, user name, database name, and password beofre starting the installation.
To test what kind of server you have, and possibly if PHP is installed, enter your web site address below.
The information returned basically has one line of interest that should read something like:
Server: Apache/1.3.27 Ben-SSL/1.48 (Unix) mod_perl/1.27 PHP/4.2.3 FrontPage/4.0.4.3
The important parts are Apache/1.3.27 and PHP/4.2.3.
If it doesn't say "Apache" then is it unlikely that it will run. PHP only shows up in the "Server:" line if it is loaded as an Apache module - Contentor has been run on the CGI version of PHP.
See the note on .htaccess if FrontPage Extensions installed
