OS Requirements

[Stephen Wynn]

We have been running SubjectsPlus on an IIS, but would like to upgrade & move to a Linux server.

Campus ITS has asked me for OS requirements. I responded by linking to the Requirements page (http://subjectsplus.com/wiki3/?title=Requirements_4.0), but this page does not have specific requirements or recommendations for operating systems. I interpret this to mean any OS at all that can run the specified applications (PHP, MySQL, etc.). But ITS is asking for more details about OS requirements. I'm not sure how to respond. Any advice?

Hi Stephen,

Your needs will depend a little on how much you are storing on it so this is just my personal  experience but may be helpful.  I'm working with systems running on Debian 9 and finding that 40 gigs and 4 gigs of memory is plenty for me.

Hi Stephen,

At the University of Miami Libraries, we're the primary developers and we run the following:

Ubuntu 20.04

Apache 2.4

Shares 7.5 GB of RAM with other apps in an Azure App Service Plan

PHP 7.4

MySQL 5.7, 125 GB

Although we have not tested it on Centos, I'm fairly confident that it will work as intended.

Basically, any Linux distribution that can run PHP, MySQL should be sufficient.

Thanks,

Charles

Hi Stephan,

Additionally, we recommend you install SP 4.6 to use with PHP 7.

Prior versions are not fully compatible with PHP 7.

Thanks Rogan & Charles! I've passed your comments on to campus ITS and they responded that this information was helpful.
