Script Requirements
* PHP 4.4.0 + Ethane Although it can run on older versions of PHP, we believe that this is a security risk.
PHP 4.4.0 was released on 11-Jul-2005. If the host has not been able to update in a long time so you should switch to another host.
The script should work with PHP configured as a fast-cgi cgi or module, but the Apache module is tested more. You should avoid safe mode for PHP. From our test Ethane is working in safe mode, but you will get some errors.
* Support MySQL Ethane need a MySQL database to store all members, friends, messages, blogs, etc. If you are using php5, mysql driver must be enabled.
* PHP mail () support The host must allow the use of the mail () function to send email to your members. Note that your host should not limit the number of e-mail you can send per hour or day, or some emails may not reach their destination. Please check with your host.
* PHP GD2 graphics library with support for FreeType Ethane needs the GD2 library to create thumbnails of photos and other photo manipulations.
If the server does not support the FreeType library, Ethane will work, but will not be able to use the captcha picture and watermark features.
* The host must allow Cron Jobs to run a cron job every 5 minutes. Note that some hosts do not allow all the cron jobs, others do not allow them so often. Check with your host.
If you do not allow cron jobs, please contact us to discuss the possibility of having your cron job to run remotely
