Elgg Website Design

Requirements of Elgg

Elgg runs on a combination of the Apache web server, MySQL database system and the PHP interpreted scripting language. This is the most popular web server environment in the world.

Due to Elgg's advanced functionality, there are some extra configuration requirements:

The Apache web server needs to be installed with the following modules:

1) mod_rewrite

2) PHP 5

3) MySQL 5+ is needed for data storage

4) PHP 5.2+ needs to be installed as an Apache module (not in CGI mode or safe mode) with the following libraries:

• GD (for graphics processing, eg user icon rescaling and Captcha)
• JSON (for API functionality)
• XML (not installed/compiled by default on all systems)
• Multibyte String support (for internationalisation)
