Requirements for SEF Advance
SEF Advance is a component for Joomla! / Mambo content management system (CMS).Therefore it has same requirements on web server as the CMS itself running built-in SEF URLs.
- Apache (IIS not supported)
- PHP
- mySQL
- Joomla! 1.x or Mambo 4.x
- mod_rewrite (if you can run built-in SEF you have it)
- Safe mode off (make sure PHP is not running in safe mode)
- ionCube loader *
ionCube is an established industry standard solution for PHP encoding and your server may already support it. If it doesn't, ionCube also supports runtime loading of encoded files. This means that, in most cases, all you need to do is to upload the free ionCube loader (available at http://www.ioncube.com/loaders.php) to your site and SEF Advance will work. This way no changes in server configurations are required and the loader can be employed on share hosts without problems.
To check whether your site already supports ionCube encoding or runtime loading use the
SEF Advance tester script
Unpack the zip file and follow the instructions from readme.txt. The script will tell you which steps you need to take in order to get ionCube running.
After you've tried the tester script you can download the free trial that will demonstrate SEF Advance's capabilities on your own site for a limited period of time.
