Software Requirements
Hosting companies tend to vary in the way they configure their servers, and although we try to accommodate for all of these possibilities, it is still possible that certain server configurations can cause problems when setting up the auction and classified software even though they technically meet the minimum requirements. Fear not though, by default, most servers are already equipped with the minimum requirements set forth below, but simply need to be activated if not already.
Below are the requirements of the "host" you wish to install the software on. Your host should be able to tell you if they meet these requirements or not if you are not sure. If you have a dedicated server with root access, and need help upgrading or installing something to meet any of these requirements, contact us and we can try to point you in the right direction as best we can.
For a list of hosts that we have verified meet the minimum requirements, see the resources section of our website.
Minimum Requirements
The software will not function properly, or not at all, without at least these minimum requirements from your host:
Scripting Language - PHP 7.4.0 or later (preferably php 8.x.x)
Database - (MySQLi, 8.0+ suggested) or later
Operating System - Any that meets other requirements
Server Plugins
For maximum functionality, we recommend PHP be compiled with the curl, openssl, and gd2 extensions. These are freely available, and automatically built into most server configurations.
Apache's mod_rewrite is required for search-engine-friendly URLs.
Recommended Hosts
Any web host that meets the above requirements will be sufficient to run GeoCoreMax. If you do not have one in mind, we have identified a few that meet the requirements, and listed them on the resources page.
