- Removes thirdparty dependency History.js - Adds thirdparty dependency Page.js to manage client-side routing - Adds a wrapper around Page.js for SilverStripe specific behaviour - Increased minimum browser requirement to IE10. Native HTML History API routing requires IE10 or newer (necessitated by removal of History.js) - PJAX pannel loading via now uses promises rather than callbacks - Adds getClientConfig method to LeftAndMain which can be used to pass config from to the front-end client

# Requirements
|
|
|
|
SilverStripe CMS needs to be installed on a web server. Content authors and website administrators use their web browser
|
|
to access a web-based GUI to do their day-to-day work. Website designers and developers require access to the files on
|
|
the server to update templates, website logic, and perform upgrades or maintenance.
|
|
|
|
Our web-based [PHP installer](installation/) can check if you meet the requirements listed below.
|
|
|
|
## Web server software requirements
|
|
|
|
* PHP 5.5 or newer
|
|
* We recommend using a PHP accelerator or opcode cache, such as [xcache](http://xcache.lighttpd.net/) or [WinCache](http://www.iis.net/download/wincacheforphp).
|
|
* Allocate at least 48MB of memory to each PHP process. (SilverStripe can be resource hungry for some intensive operations.)
|
|
* Required modules: dom, gd2, fileinfo, hash, iconv, mbstring, mysqli (or other database driver), session, simplexml, tokenizer, xml.
|
|
* Recommended configuration
|
|
|
|
safe_mode = Off
|
|
magic_quotes_gpc = Off
|
|
memory_limit = 48M
|
|
|
|
* See [phpinfo()](http://php.net/manual/en/function.phpinfo.php) for more information about your environment
|
|
* One of the following databases:
|
|
* MySQL 5.0+
|
|
* PostgreSQL 8.3+ (requires ["postgresql" module](http://silverstripe.org/postgresql-module))
|
|
* SQL Server 2008+ (requires ["mssql" module](http://silverstripe.org/microsoft-sql-server-database/))
|
|
* Support for `[Oracle](http://www.silverstripe.org/oracle-database-module/)` and [SQLite](http://silverstripe.org/sqlite-database/) is not commercially supported, but is under development by our open source community.
|
|
* One of the following web server products:
|
|
* Apache 2.0+ with mod_rewrite and "AllowOverride All" set
|
|
* IIS 7+
|
|
* Support for Lighttpd, IIS 6, and other web servers may work if you are familiar with configuring those products.
|
|
* We recommend enabling content compression (for example with mod_deflate) to speed up the delivery of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
|
|
* One of the following operating systems:
|
|
* Linux/Unix/BSD
|
|
* Microsoft Windows XP SP3, Vista, Windows 7, Server 2008, Server 2008 R2
|
|
* Mac OS X 10.4+
|

## Web server hardware requirements
|
|
|
|
Hardware requirements vary widely depending on the traffic to your website, the complexity of its logic (i.e., PHP), and
|
|
its size (i.e., database.) By default, all pages are dynamic, and thus access both the database and execute PHP code to
|
|
generate. SilverStripe can cache full pages and segments of templates to dramatically increase performance.
|
|
|
|
A typical website page on a conservative single CPU machine (e.g., Intel 2Ghz) takes roughly 300ms to generate. This
|
|
comfortably allows over a million page views per month. Caching and other optimisations can improve this by a factor of
|
|
ten or even one hundred times. SilverStripe CMS can be used in multiple-server architectures to improve scalability and
|
|
redundancy.
|
|
|
|
For more information on how to scale SilverStripe see the [Performance](/developer_guides/performance/) Guide.
|
|
|
|
## Client side (CMS) requirements
|
|
|
|
SilverStripe CMS is designed to work well with Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer 10+. We aim to
|
|
provide satisfactory experiences in Apple Safari. SilverStripe CMS works well across Windows, Linux, and Mac operating
|
|
systems.
|
|
|
|
## End user requirements
|
|
|
|
SilverStripe CMS is designed to make excellent, standards-compliant websites that are compatible with a wide range of
|
|
industry standard browsers and operating systems. A competent developer is able to produce websites that meet W3C
|
|
guidelines for HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and accessibility, in addition to meeting specific guide lines, such as
|
|
e-government requirements.
