xFlow v5 - Server Requirements

All requirements the web server must meet, in order to successfully run the xFlow software are shown below. Virtually all standard LINUX web servers support all needed features.

» UNIX / LINUX web server
» Perl 5.8.1
» Telnet / SSH access
» Access to one (1) clean mySQL database
» 1 MB of web space for the script files
» Crontab privileges
» Ability to set the DefaultType for Apache
» Ability to execute CGI scripts outside of the /cgi-bin/
» OpenSSL 0.9.7e (or newer)
» gcc Compiler

The server must also have the following Perl modules installed:

» IO::Socket
» Digest::MD5
» Crypt::SSLeay (Net::SSL)
» DBI
» DBD::mysql or DBD::Pg (depending on database used)

The xFlow fully supports both, mySQL and PostgreSQL as database back-ends. Crontab is required for many different functions, such as automated backups, recurring transactions, and so on. Most standard LINUX servers meet all requirements of the xFlow.
