Installation: Required Modules
Overall installation requirements
This is information on the required PHP/Apache modules that GetSimple uses:
SimpleXML - This module is necessary as GetSimple currently relies on XML to store it's data.
ZipArchive - This is only needed if you want to take backups of your website.
If you do not have this installed, your backups will try to use the
zlib library
Apache mod_rewrite - This is only needed if you want to use FancyURLs (set within the control panel's 'settings' page.)
Curl - Curl is needed to connect to our
API to check for GetSimple updates.
this means: you don't really need it, but if you want to install it, see
here.
GD Library - This module is needed in order to create thumbnails on uploaded images.
