IMPORTANT: Before starting with the installation, you must check the following prerequisites:

Compatibility:

• PHP version: 4.3.0 or above (PHP5 supported from version 3.0.1)
• MySQL version: 3.23 or above
  

we also suggest:

• upload_max_filesize = 24M
• max_execution_time = 300
• post_max_size = 24M
• domxml() extension enabled (Only for PHP4)
  

These are the data that you need:

• FTP Access: Host, Username & Password
• Database connection: Database name, Username & Password
  

If you install Docebo on a Windows home PC the database user will be “root”, don't put any password and the database name will be chosen by you when you create it from the phpMyAdmin panel (more on phpMyAdmin usage in the next chapter).  You don't have to configure the FTP connection too because on Windows home environment you have to adopt the HTTP method (in the config.php file this method is called “FS”).

Docebo 3.x installer is really powerful, it is divided in several steps, some of them are visible only if something goes wrong.

• The first step is to upload all the files to the server using an FTP client. Usually all the files have to be stored inside the main directory. If you are in your home PC please skip the FTP upload and manually copy the files.
  

Note: the main directory can have a different path then “/” this is really important for the FTP option configuration during the installation process, for example you may have an “/htdocs/” path.
