  The following PHP extensions are required:
  
  • GD – image handling library;

  • FreeType – required for CAPTCHA;
  • Regular Expressions support;
  • Zlib compression – required to decrease the amount of transferred data;
• PHP enabled web server:
  • Apache (recommended) 1.3.x and higher. The system also runs successfully on Apache 2.x;
  • MS IIS 5.0* or 6.0* is also supported;
• Database server support. One of the following database engines can be used on your site:
  • MySQL version 4.0.18 and higher is recommended. To work with MySQL properly, the system requires the MySQL support for PHP to be installed;
  • Oracle 9.0 and higher (for product editions supporting Oracle DB) can be used. To fully support Oracle, the php_oci8.dll extension of PHP should be installed;

• by editing the file php.ini directly;
• from within a script by calling ini_set("memory_limit", "64M"); This call is added to /bitrix/php_interface/dbconn.php at the installation time using the user-supplied value;
• in the file .htaccess using the directive: php_value memory_limit 64M
