General Requirements
- MicroCyte is based on PHP5 and requires at least PHP version 5 to be installed, PHP4 will not work.
- MicroCyte has been tested and known to work well with Apache on OS X and Linux
- MicroCyte has been tested and known to work well with Apache on Windows
- PHP MUST have DOM support turned on (can be enabled by using --with-dom flag during install/build)
- MicroCyte MUST be able to modify site files within the MicroCyte root and sub-directories.
Suggested Development Hosting
MicroCyte generally works very well with fully Apache MySQL PHP stacks like WAMP and MAMP. It is recommended you use one of these stacks for development with MicroCyte. You should be able to simply drop the MicroCyte directory into one of these stacks and have everything work 'out of the box'
Suggested Live Hosting
Live hosting is a little tricker, in general you should try to find a hosting provider which supports all the requirements listed above. Sometimes file permissions can become an issue as different PHP/Apache setups require subtly different file permissions to run. These differences can cause issues for MicroCyte. In general, if you can set 'world write' and 'world execute' permissions on files and directories you should be able to get MicroCyte to work correctly with some experimentation.
