Any server supporting the required PHP version (Apache highly recommended). There are 2 folders that need to be writable by XOOPS - cache/ and templates_c/. The exact settings varies with the way PHP is installed on your server.

PHP

Any PHP version >= 5.2

The core will run with register_globals OFF and safe_mode ON, however, some modules will have different requirements for these settings.

Note: because of instabilities in PHP 5.2.7, it is recommended you not use this on your live sites.

ImpressCMS

Web server

ImpressCMS will run on any web server supporting the required PHP and MySQL versions. Apache server is highly recommmended, and a single-click install  for IIS is available from the Web Matrix by Microsoft.

A typical install also places files and folders outside the normal web document folder and special access on your server may be necessary.

Note: because of instabilities in PHP 5.2.7, it is recommended you not use this on your live sites.

MySQL

MySQL 4.1.0 and above. If you will be using languages with special characters (French, Spanish, German, for example), you will need UTF-8 support in your database and on your server.
