    • Allocate at least 64MB of memory to each PHP process
    • Required extensions: GD, JSON, Session, MBString, Filter, XMLWriter, SPL

    • IIS 7.0+

    We recommend enabling content compression to speed up the delivery of HTML, CSS and JavaScript.

    If you're running Apache von Windows, you may have to increase of the Apache's stack size:

    <IfModule mpm_winnt_module>
        ThreadStackSize 8388608
    </IfModule>

    You should add the code to the httpd-mpm.conf file and enable that file in

In case PHP runs as module of the Apache, you will have to be able to do a chown on the files before installation. The files and directories have to be owned by the Apache user.
