Before you install TangoCMS, you should make sure that the server/host you are on meets the following requirements for TangoCMS to function correctly:

  • PHP 5.2.0 or greater
  • MySQL 4.1 or greater (recommended MySQL 5)
  • Webserver - Tested on Apache & Lighttpd (recommended mod_rewrite for SEF, Search Engine Friendly, URLs)

Required PHP Extensions

TangoCMS needs the following PHP extensions to function correctly. While this does look a lot, the majority are either enabled by default, or part of the PHP core.

  • ctype
  • date
  • dom
  • gd
  • hash
  • PDO with PDO_MYSQL
  • pcre
  • session
  • SimpleXML

If you are unsure if your PHP installation has these extension, don't worry, as the installer will check for you and tell you which are missing.
