Crowd Fusion Requirements

There are four key requirements for installing Crowd Fusion: a Unix/Linux/BSD server environment, PHP 5.2.3 or greater, MySQL 5.0 or greater with InnoDB storage engine and Apache HTTP Webserver with mod_rewrite module.

In order to fully benefit from the Crowd Fusion CMS's full feature set, we highly recommend a few additional extensions: APC 3.0.19 or greater / eAccelerator version 0.9.5.3 or greater (for opcode and shared memory cache), ImageMagick version 6.3.8-3 or greater with jpeg, gif, and png support (for thumbnail creation within the Crowd Fusion CMS), Memcached version 1.2.2 or greater (for content and page caching) and libcurl 7.10.5 or greater with -with-curl PHP option (for HTTP requests).
