Server requirements

[ioio]

Hi,

I can not complete the install of processwire on a french server because they don't have GD 2.0 or newer library installed.

I am using PHP 6.

Plus the support guy that I talked to there might be a little retarded.

Hmmm, PHP 6? Really? AFAIK not an officially supported version. (Google for more info.) You would probably be better served with 5.6 or maybe even 7.

Anyhow, GD support is pretty much a requirement for most hosting. PW uses it to resize/crop images. The combination of PHP 6 and no GD throws real doubt on the competence of your hoster,

Yeah, well I have the option to set Php to 5 or 6.

If I set it to 5 it's below 5.3.8 and I don't have the option to go more than 6.

Wrote them a mail and wait for an answer.

PHP 6 was never released as stable php version (and discontinued years ago) and 5.3.8 is also not the most recent version to run. I'd really doublecheck if that's the hoster to go.

Well, I already paid for 1 year

I wait for their answer and if they don't fix it I will change the provider.

Wanted them because I have this adult affiliated blog that I want to host in France and this company offered hosting for adult sites as well.
