Platform as a Service (PaaS)

If you're using a PaaS provider such as our partner Platfo= rm.sh, where we have an single-server setup, and in the future also clu= stered setup, you can skip this step.

Server

eZ software is built to rely on existing technologies and standards. The= minimal setup is PHP, MySQL/MariaDB, and Apache/Nginx. Recommendation for production setups is= to use Varnish, and Memcached, NFS and= Solr in a clustered setup.


For supported versions of these technologies see Recommended and S=
upported setups below.
Rec=
ommended setups
These setups are tested by QA and are generally recommended setups. For =
security and performance we furthermore recommend use of the newer versions=
 of components below.

Supported setups are those we perform automated testing on. For security=
 and performance we recommend use of the newer versions of components below=
.

OS: Linux
Web Servers:

Apache 2.2, 2.4
Nginx 1.4, 1.6, 1.8. 1.10

DBMS

MySQL 5.5, 5.6
MariaDB 5.5, 10.0

PHP

5.6
7.0 (Note: php modules like  memcach=
ed are not stable for PHP 7.x yet, so 7.x setup is limited to dev/=
single server; ETA for cluster support sometime after Ubuntu 16.04 is out.)=


PHP extensions/modules

curl
ctype
fileinfo
iconv
intl
json
mbstring
opcache (recommended over APC)
pdo

pdo mysql (with mysqlnd)

posix
readline
reflection

Development & Experimental setups
eZ Platform, the foundation of all eZ software, can theoretically r=
un and execute on many more setups than the ones listed as recommended and =
supported, including any operating system supported by PHP, =
on a PHP 5.6 version or higher that pass the Symfony requirements, using cache solutions technicall=
y supported by Stash, using databases support=
ed by Doc=
trine DBAL, and using a binary file storage solution supported by FlySystem.
Examples of Development setups:

OS: Windows, Mac OS X
Filesystem: NTFS, HFS+

Examples of Experimental setups:

OS: Any system supported by PHP
Persistence Cache: Redis
Filesystem: BTRFS, AUFS, ...
IO: S3, Azure, (S)FTP, GridFS, ...
Databases: Postgres, MSSQL, Oracle ^{(As in technically supported by Doctrine DBAL which we use, b=
ut none supported by our installer at the moment, and Oracle and MSSQL=
 is not covered by automated testing)}

 
While all these options are not supported by eZ Systems, they are community supported, meaning contributions=
 and efforts made to improve support for these technologies are welcome and=
 can contribute to the technology being supported by the eZ Systems team in=
 the future.

 
Client
eZ software is developed to work w=
ith any web browser that support modern standards, on any=
 screen resolution suitable for web, running on any device.&n=
bsp;However for th=
e Editorial and Administration User Interfaces you'll need; a minimum&=
nbsp;of 1024-by-768 screen resolution, a desktop or tablet device=
, and a recommended/supported browsers found below.
R=
ecommended browsers
These setups have been undergone some additional manual testing and is k=
nown to work.

Please note that the user interface might not look or behave exactly the=
 same across all browsers as it will gracefully degrade if browser does not=
 support certain features.
