DokuWiki System Requirements

For running your own copy of DokuWiki you will need the following three:

1. Webserver with PHP support
   • Apache is preferred, but many others are reported to work fine
2. PHP 4.3.3 and higher. Because of some security issues PHP 4.3.10 or higher is strictly recommended. ¹⁾ (PHP 5 should be fine.)
   • Enabling short open tags shouldn't be needed anymore ²⁾
   • PHP's libGD 2 (a graphics library) is recommended but not needed
   • DokuWiki should work in PHP's Safe Mode, depending on your hosting configuration you may need to use the safemodehack option
   • DokuWiki is designed to run with PHP's Option register_globals set to off.
   • If you want DokuWiki to email registration confirmation to new users, PHP needs to be correctly configured to send mails. (see: mail)
3. A decent web browser (see compatibility list)
