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 as well as 5.0.41, 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).
