Footnotes
[1] PHP 5.3.1 is required for versions 3.0 through 3.2. At 3.3, the minimum is raised to PHP 5.3.10.
[2] In order to use SEO URLs, you will need to have the Apache mod_rewrite extension installed.
[3] Do not use PHP 4.3.9, 4.4.2 or 5.0.4. These releases have known bugs that will interfere with installation. Zend Optimizer 2.5.10 for PHP 4.4 also has serious bugs and you should ask your host to upgrade to a newer version. Joomla! versions 1.5.15 and later are compatible with PHP 5.3. Note that the OpenID library is not compatible with PHP 5.3.
[4] Support for Microsoft SQL Server was added for the 2.5 release; 1.6 and 1.7 do not have this support.
[5] For Microsoft IIS (depending on your setup) you may need the following:
For further assistance using Microsoft IIS, visit the Joomla! IIS forum.
