System Requirements

Requirements for installing the Rad File Manager - PHP Edition

	All that an end user of the system needs is a web browser and the java plugin version 1.4.2+

Hardware

The server component is written in php and as such requires a web server capable of uploading PHP scripts. The minimum system requirements for your chosen web server should act as the baseline when choosing your hardware and operating system. You may need to configure your php installation to handle large file upload (please refer to the article title PHP File Upload Configuration on radinks.com for details). Preferred version of PHP is 4.3.x

The file manager by itself occupies less than a mega byte of hard disk space but you should have enough space available to save uploaded files. For example if you plan to serve 100 clients and each client will be allowed to upload up to 10MB of files you will need 1GB of disk space to spare.

Operating System

The software can be installed on any operating system that on which the PHP engine can be installed on. Linux and Unix like operating systems, Windows 2000 and XP are popular examples.

Software Dependencies

In addition to the web server and PHP engine already mentioned, the file manager needs to connect to a Postgresql or Mysql database. Your database can be installed on the same physical computer as the file manager or it could be installed on different server. Your PHP installation should have the chosen database extension (pgsql or mysql) available.
