Question

What requirements are there when hosting on another server?

Answer:


SETUP REQUIREMENTS FOR NON-BLUDOMAIN SERVER:

you will need to provide your ftp host, username and password, as well as your control panel** url, username, and password. In Addition all below requirements need to be met for the site to function properly. 

The
control panel is needed to add/edit the mysql database. If there is no control panel then we need the database host, name, user, and password to be sent to us, and the database must allow remote connections from desktop programs such as mysql-front.

If the server doesn't have the settings pre-set to our specifications, please note whether we need to edit a php.ini file or a .htaccess file to set the settings locally.

 
 
 
REQUIREMENTS:::Please confirm with your server that they meet the following requirements:

1. PHP 4.xx or 5.xx with:
    a. safe-mode must be disabled (turned off)
    b. register_globals must be set to on
    c. max_upload_filesize set to 6MB or above (or .htaccess
