Technical Specifications Browser Requirements Mambo is viewed by site visitors and administered via web browser. Administrator The Mambo system is administered via a web browser. All browsers are supported, however Firefox and Internet Explorer tend to give the best results as they support fully the WYSIWYG editor functionality. Team Mambo recommends Firefox and encourages you to support Open Source.
Site Visitors Mambo websites are cross-platform, cross-browser compatible. Users who experience browser problems on the front end of the web site are most likely seeing template problems and should contact their web designers. Web Server Mambo is OS Neutral and will function properly on any operating system which satisfies the minimum requirements outlined below. Team Mambo encourages you to support Open Source.
Minimum Requirements The minimum requirements for running Mambo on your server space are:
Apache
The operating system Apache is installed on can be anything that the Apache platform supports, but it is Linux, Mac OS X, Windows 2000/XP and BSD that has been tested properly with Mambo. Unix/Linux based systems are recommended, for security and performance reasons.
Apache 1.13.19 or later (2.0.55 recommended)
http://www.apache.org
PHP will need to be installed and configured with Apache.
PHP 4.3.x or above (for security, it is advisable to use PHP 4.4.x versions or higher): http://www.php.net
The MySQL, xml, and zlib modules must also be installed into PHP.
PHP also needs to have a writable session save path. This is configured in the php.ini-file with the line session.save_path = /path. PHP needs to have full access to the folder specified here. On a windows system, this path will be something like session.save_path = C:\Program Files\Something, while a unix system has the session.save_path = /home/var/www-system.
For localised Mambo sites, PHP needs to have GETTEXT installed.
MySQL
The final ingredient is the MySQL database server. Mambo has been tested on MySQL 4.x and 5.x versions. At this time, Mambo does not run in Strict Mode on MySQL 5.x.
http://www.mysql.com Special Notes - It is recommended that safe_mode be disabled for Mambo to work optimally.
- It is also recommended that PHP be installed as CGI/PHPsuexec or suPHP(apache module mod_suphp) for security purposes in a shared hosting environment and to prevent file ownership and permission issues.
