Apache & PHP: Required Modules
This is information on the required PHP/Apache modules that GetSimple uses:
Required Modules (Error)
SimpleXML - This module is necessary as GetSimple currently relies on XML to store it's data.
Important but not Required Modules (Warning)
-
As of GS v3.1, if you do not have this installed, your backups will try to use the
zlib library (it will create .tar.gz files instead of .zip)
-
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. (Debian install via apt-get install php5-curl)
GD Library - This module is needed in order to create thumbnails on uploaded images.
