Introduction

Zikula Core is a web based application framework, fully extensible by modules, plugins and themes.

For more information visit http://zikula.org/ and read our user manual.

Requirements

Before installing Zikula it's important to ensure that the hosting server environment meets the requirements of the new core release. Zikula Core 1.4.0 has the following requirements:

Minimum Recommended
PHP 5.4.1 5.5

Please note:

  • Zikula requires AllowOverride All and the mod_rewrite module (be aware the Apache 2.3.9+ has changed the default setting for AllowOverride to None.
  • Additional (advanced) server considerations can be found on the Symfony site
  • Zikula requires more memory than typical to install. You should set your memory limit in php.ini to 128 MB for the installation process.

Before installing

Zikula makes use of composer to manage and download all dependencies. Composer must be run prior to installing a site using Zikula. Run composer self-update && composer update.

If you store Composer in the root of the Zikula Core checkout, please rename it from composer.phar to composer to avoid your IDE reading the package contents.

Installing

Once all of the pre-install steps are complete Run http://yoursiteurl/install and follow any on-screen prompts.
