e107 is a free and open-source content management system (CMS) which allows you to manage and publish your content online with ease. Developers can save time in building websites and powerful online applications. Users can avoid programming completely! Blogs, websites, intranets – e107 does it all.
The PHP versions e107 supports are listed under PHP Compatibility. The installer (install.php) checks your server before it installs anything and tells you what is missing: the PHP version, the PHP extensions e107 needs, and file permissions.
- A web server (Apache or Microsoft IIS) running PHP
- MySQL or MariaDB
- FTP access to your web server and an FTP client (such as FileZilla)
- Username and password to your MySQL database
- Apache 2.4 or newer on Linux
- A PHP version that still receives security fixes and that your e107 version supports
- A MySQL or MariaDB version that still receives security fixes
- A registered domain name
- Access to a server control panel (such as cPanel)

Software Version uses Ruby-style version constraints. Each row gives the PHP versions that the e107 versions it matches are meant to run on. Unknown means no maximum was ever recorded for that range, and newer PHP releases may well break those versions.
