PHP `7.4.10` is recommended. * OpenSSL PHP Extension * PDO PHP Extension * Mbstring PHP Extension * Tokenizer PHP Extension * XML PHP Extension * Ctype PHP Extension * JSON PHP Extension * ZIP PHP Extension * FileInfo PHP Extension * BCMath PHP Extension * GD PHP Extension ### MySQL Version QwikTest requires a MySQL database with support for JSON columns. MySQL `5.7.24` is recommended. Currently, we only tested MySQL and MariaDB. PostgreSQL is not yet tested. ### Hosting Services QwikTest requires Linux-based shared hosting with CPanel or Cloud VPS. While QwikTest works just fine on shared hosting, there might be limitations; thus, we suggest using a VPS for better performance. QwikTest works on all major managed hosting providers (GoDaddy, NameCheap, BlueHost, SiteGround, HostGator, etc.) and Cloud Providers (AWS, GCP, Azure, DigitalOcean, etc.) #### Our Demo is powered by Digital Ocean VPS.

QwikTest is not compatible with the Hostinger LiteSpeed web server. ### SMTP Mail Configuration The application **MUST HAVE** a working SMTP configuration for user registration and password resets. Without it, you will get an error 500 on registration. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://nearchip.gitbook.io/qwiktest/installation/pre-requisites.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
