Recommended configuration

From CMC for PHP
Jump to: navigation, search

CMC for PHP is designed to require a minimum requirements.

As it is object oriented and uses modern syntax, it requires PHP 5.3 at least. PHP 5.5 is recommended.


The current release needs the following:

  • a web server. Currently only Apache is tested (version 2.4)
  • PHP engine:
    • version >= 5.3
    • mysqlnd over mysqli module (except if no database connection is needed)


Apache configuration

Apache configuration is minimal. A mod_rewrite module is recommended, and here is a sample of rewrite options that can be used:

Options +FollowSymLinks
Allow from all

DirectoryIndex index.php

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !(index.php/*|images/*|img/*|style/*|mp4|webm|css|js|ico|txt)
    RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php/$1 [L]
</IfModule>

Don't remember to replace with the appropriate index name you want to use.

PHP configuration

If you want to make an application (not just a web site) you will need to enable PHP session management. There is no special other recommendation that are not the general recommendation (avoid obsolete directives, etc.)
