 +//For remote servers//, upload a file phpinfo.php with the following contents: 
 + 
 +  <?php phpinfo(INFO_MODULES);​ ?> 
 +   
 +..navigate to it in the browser, and search for SimpleXML.

 +  * [[http://​httpd.apache.org/​docs/​current/​mod/​mod_rewrite.html|Apache mod_rewrite]] - This is only needed if you want to use [[:​pretty_urls|FancyURLs]] (set within the control panel'​s '​settings'​ page). aka **rewrite_module**. 
 +  * [[http://​www.php.net/​manual/​en/​curl.setup.php|Curl]] - Curl is needed to connect to our API to check for GetSimple updates.
