System requirements/technical specifications

Webserver

• Apache Version 1.3 or above
• at least 100 MB of free webspace
• an installed mod_rewrite module

MySQL

• MySQL 5.0.33 or above
  Due to a bug in MySQL 5.0.36 and 5.0.37, the OXID eShop does not run properly with these versions. If you are using MySQL 5.0.36 or 5.0.37, update MySQL to a newer version.

PHP

• PHP 5.2.0* or above. Due to performance matters, we recomend to use PHP 5.2.6 or above.
• Set memory_limit at least to 14 MB. We recomend a memory_limit of 30MB.
• Activate allow_url_fopen or  fsockopen to port 80
• Set Apache server variables REQUEST_URI or SCRIPT_URI
• Switch off PHP4 compatibility mode. (zend.ze1_compatibility_mode = Off)
• ini_set allowed
• register_globals off
• The following PHP-extensions that must be installed:
  
  • GD LIB Version 2.x
  • MySQL-Modul für MySQL 5
  • bcmath
  • JSON
  • php-xml
  • libxml2
  • iconv-extension
  • tokenizer
  • mbstring

_{*Issues may occur if PHP 5.2.0 is installed as apache module on a 64 bit operating system. In you are using this combination, update PHP to a newer version for avoiding problems.}

Overview of the possible operating conditions which are based on the following assumptions:

• Number of categories is 20% of the number of items, e.g. 1,000 items = 200 categories
• The flow of visitors is distributed over more than 14 hours per day on average
• The item number also includes possible item variants
• Note: Reduced functionality may be experienced during some intensive activities (e.g. exporting) – this depends on your provider (keywords PHP max_execution_time and memory_limit).
