sambadave Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Hi guys I'm going to be building my first processwire site for a friend. I've found a hosting provider and I just wanted to check that the hosting package has all the requirements I need to run a process wire site. From what i can see it does but I'm not too sure with these things. I'm a designer / front-end guy but I've never put a site live before so any feedback would be very helpful before I purchase. I would be looking at the Business package from this link http://www.uk2.net/web-hosting/#tech-specs Really enjoying processwire so far. Fantastic CMS! Thanks in advance for any help provided. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterfoeng Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Hi, Looking into the hosting, it seems pretty good and pretty sure can run processwire without issues. You might want to double check the requirement page again: http://processwire.com/about/requirements/ Good luck with the first PW site! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwired Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Looks like an average hoster. Keep an eye on how they handle the .htaccess file. Some hosters force you to use one, others don't allow all options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totoff Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 You may use a script developed for Contao open source CMS to check the hosting environment: https://github.com/contao/check If the script reports that you need the so called "safe mode hack" most likely your ./site/assets/ and ./site/config.php won't be writeable. In this case you need to set permission to 777 (not recommended) or (depending on hosting environment) switch to FastCGI via .htaccess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzyweb Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 That hosting should be fine to use processwire. I think that most modern hosting providers should be able to handle processwire. If I was you I would look around a bit more before committing as looking at UK2 promotion it looks like they are enticing people in for the package at £2.49 then it will revert back up to £14.95 once contract has ended.

Pete Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 @pwired - my Trend Micro at work threw up this error on the website you linked to: Rating: Dangerous Verified fraudulent page or threat source. I've removed the link in your post because this scanner is usually right! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwired Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 I uploaded that check from totoff to a free server just to see how it would work. It is supposed to check a hosting environment. Pete, did you check the contents of the folder check, or something else ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 The alert I got refers to the domain where it was uploaded, so the free server service might be the issue? Can you PM me the URL to their service and I can confirm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
