(:Summary:Prerequisites for running the PmWiki wiki engine:)(:Audience: administrators (basic) :)
Prerequisites for running the PmWiki wiki engine:
# [[http://php.net/ | PHP]] 4.1 or later
** [[http://gophp5.org/ | PHP 5]] or later is recommended
# Some sort of webserver that can run PHP scripts.

PmWiki has been reported to work with the following OS/webserver combinations:
* Apache 1.3 or 2.0, on roughly anything (Unix, Linux, Windows, and Mac OS/X)
** [[http://httpd.apache.org/ | Apache 2.2]] or later is recommended
* Microsoft Internet Information Server, on Windows

* I got it to work on appWeb (a very small, php-enabled webserver) executing on a Linksys NSLU2 Network Storage Link device (runs Unslung 5.5 beta which is a Linux derivate for embedded systems). Still have to work out why file-uploads does not seem to work, however. --Hans-Göran Puke

* PmWiki works very well on x86 Linux + [[http://www.litespeedtech.com/|LiteSpeedWeb Server]] Standard Edition  --Jeff Muday

PmWiki has been reported not to work on:
* Mac OS before Mac OS X because there's no PHP available

The [[(Cookbook:)Standalone]] recipe provides a special, bare-bones webserver application that can be used to run PmWiki in places where another webserver isn't available.
PmWIki can also be run from a [[Cookbook:WikiOnAStick | USB drive]].
