Requirements

Article Friendly works best on a linux server, but has been used on a Windows server using a special version of PHP

Requirements List

1. Linux Server

2. 1 Mysql Database.

3. Mod_Rewrite enabled hosting. Most good hosts already have this enabled, but ask to be sure.

4. Ioncube Enabled Hosting for the admin backend files. 99% of hosts have this enabled by default, but ask your host to be sure. Most hosts will gladly enable this for you as it cuts down on the server's resource usage and speeds up pages. Please note that we do not configure server settings, your server's php.ini nor install ioncube or any other server program, and GoDaddy hosting is NOT recommended. This is your host's job and they can do it easily and quickly.

5. Php 4 to 6+

Installing Article Friendly.

You will need a good FTP client to upload your Article Friendly files to your hosting account. We recommend FileZilla as it is FREE, easy to use and updated frequently.

You can see how to use FileZilla Right Here.

Editing Files.

You will need a good webpage editor occasionally, and unless you aready have Microsoft Expression or Dreamweaver, we recommend PsPad. Again, it is FREE, easy to use and updated frequently.

You can see how to setup and use PsPad along with Filezilla to dowload with Filezilla, edit with PsPad, then auto upload the page back to your hosting site with FileZilla Right Here.
