Requirements

In order to work, JoomlaPack requires the following software environment on your server:

  • Joomla!™ 1.5.0 or later in the 1.5.x range. JoomlaPack 2 is a native component; it doesn't require Legacy Mode but can work with it if it's enabled.

  • PHP 4.3.9 or later; PHP 5.2.1 or greater recommended for optimal performance, but not strictly required.

  • MySQL 4.0 or later. MySQL 5.0 or greater recommended for optimal performance.

    [Important]Important

    JoomlaPack 2.0.b1 and earlier have a bug when installing against a MySQL 4.0 database; the tables wouldn't be created. Read the installation section of this manual for more information.

  • Minimum 8Mb of PHP memory_limit (sufficient only for trivial web sites). More is better. 32Mb recommended for optimal performance on large sites.

  • The PHP function opendir or glob to be available ( opendir recommended).

  • Available free space or quota limit about 75%-80% of your site's size. We recommend double than that, especially if you plan to use the tar or tar.gz formats.

  • The PHP safe mode should be preferably turned off (after all it offers no real security), but JoomlaPack will still work with it enabled.

And when it comes to your browser we need Internet Explorer 6+, Konqueror 3.5.9+, Google Chrome (beta, or newer) or Firefox 1.5+ with Javascript enabled and xmlHttpObject not blocked by group policies and/or firewalls. This component may work with other AJAX-capable browsers, but it has not been tested against them. Alternatively, you may use the Javascript Redirects mode of operation which works with virtually every Javascript capable browser.

[Warning]Warning

Some browser extensions will block or otherwise obstruct Javascript from running. As a result, they will hinder or disable you from backing up and / or restoring your site properly. While it is impossible to maintain a complete list of incompatible extensions, we have found that Firebug disables proper restoring of your site and NoScript will - obviously - disable Javascript from a domain, unless you specifficaly add it to its "whitelist".
