III. Technical RequirementsOur solution aims to provide a flexible path for future upgrades and new features. Thus, we recommend to have current versions of OS and compiled extensions.
The recommended configuration however has nothing uncommon and is found in standard with reliable hosting companies.
|
| Apache 2.2.x or above |
Adds security and features used in current and future versions. |
| PHP 5.2.5 or above |
Previous versions of PHP 5 had problems with xml and SOAP used in the web services. |
| Image Magick |
most server configuration used image magick in standard. application will run with the GD2 image library. however quality in some cases may not be as good and memory issues could arise for large images with GD2. |
| Suexec or Suphp |
avoids permission issues with joomla. |
| Ioncube loaders |
server must support ioncube loaders. either loading dynamically or set in php.ini |
IV. License Our solutions are sold under a commercial license. The purchase of a license allows you to use one application on one domain domain only. We control the proper use of the license by encoding the components and modules with ioncube. However, we leave open the tmpl files to allow designers to change the layout.
We have a discount table for web companies who would purchase several licenses in a calendar year.
