(OXID eShop also runs with PHP versions from 5.2.0 to 5.2.9, but for those versions perfect functionality is not garanteed) - Due to a bug in PHP 5.3.7, please avoid of using this version
- memory_limit set at least to 14 MB. 30MB recommended
- PHP setting "session.auto_start" in php.ini has to be set "OFF"
- We recommend to enable file uploads in PHP

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)
