Chapter 2. Installing e107
Now that you have had your history lesson and can define a CMS, we can get down to the business of learning how to install and configure e107. I believe the best way to learn is through practical application so my veterinarian friend has graciously consented to allowing us to create an e107 site called Cuddle Care Animal Hospital: http://www.cuddlecare.biz
Requirements
To function, e107 requires that your web server or your hosting company's server meets the following basic requirements:
At least one domain name
At least one email account
PHP 4.3.0 (or newer) http://www.php.org
MySQL 3.22 (or newer) http://mysql.net
A minimum of 25MB of storage space
Note
A full installation of e107 requires 8.53 MB but remember that you will need more space initially for both the compressed files and the expanded files during installation. Also, keep in mind your database will grow, and you will need space for email accounts, statistic programs, and other programs and/or databases...
