SocialEngine Installation

Step 1: Check Requirements

Great! Next, let's make sure your server has everything it needs to support SocialEngine. If any of the requirements below are marked with red, you will need to address them before continuing. If items are marked with yellow, we recommend that you address them before installing, but you can continue if you wish.

  • PHP 8
    OK
  • MySQL
    OK
  • mod_rewrite
    Your server configuration is not running PHP as an Apache module so you'll need to manually verify that mod_rewrite is enabled in Apache.
    More info: See KB article.
