To run WordPress your host just needs a couple of things: - PHP version 4.3 or greater
- MySQL version 4.0 or greater
That's really it. We recommend Apache or Litespeed as the most robust and featureful server for running WordPress, but any server that supports PHP and MySQL will do. That said, we can’t test every possible environment and each of the hosts on our hosting page supports the above and more with no problems. Ask for it
Here's a letter you can send to your host; copy and paste! I'm interested in running the open-source WordPress <http://wordpress.org/> blogging software and I was wondering if my account supported the following: - PHP 4.3 or greater
- MySQL 4.0 or greater
- The mod_rewrite Apache module
Thanks! |
Its kinda strange with a blessed task to make 2.9 nag php4 users when the official requirements doesnt mention php5 at all, but has a pre-written copy to ask hosts for php 4.3.
This info should be updated saying that 4.3 is the current minimum requirement but php 5 is recommended. 2.9 is scheduled for oct/nov isnt it ?
Whats the appropriate way to give feedback about
WP.org ? Neither the
wp.org component in trac or
wp-docs list seems to be the
appropriate place.
