System requirements for installation of spice crm

Installation
1

What are the systems requirements to install spice? The actual xampp comes with MariaDB. Is this okay or is MySQL recommended?

Thanks for help

Karsten, we haven’t tested on MariaDB yet. According to https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb/mariadb-vs-mysql-compatibility/ it should work.
Be the first to tell us about your experience with Maria DB!

Correction: I use myself xampp and it works. So go for it! But please use the distribution with php 7.0.x
SpiceCRM is not compatible with 7.1.x yet.

Thanks for the tip to use the ‘old’ php 7.0.x

I also confirm. Production environment:

CentOS 7
Apache 2.4.6 OpenSSL / 1.0.1e-fips mod_fcgid / 2.3.9 + SSL (LetsEncrypt)
PHP / 7.0.19
Database client version: libmysql - mysqlnd 5.0.12-dev (10.1.23-MariaDB)

It works.
