phpwcms

phpwcms is a very flexible, fast, robust, customer and developer friendly but yet powerful web based content management system and cms framework running under PHP and MySQL/MariaDB. phpwcms is created and maintained by Oliver Georgi.

To get started, checkout phpwcms.org or the community driven HowTo Wiki (snapshot). Most questions are yet answered on the phpwcms support forum.

Quick start

Stable releases can be used by cloning the repository, git clone git://github.com/slackero/phpwcms.git or download the archive.

To start with the latest development version use git clone -b v1.10-dev git://github.com/slackero/phpwcms.git or download the archive. If you have downloaded the archive instead of git clone, un-archive and copy the files to your web document root or sub folder. Link your browser to the related URL and follow the install instructions.

Upgrade

Before you upgrade your existing installation to v1.10+, please update to the latest v1.9.x release first. Never forget to backup your database and files before you start the upgrade process.

Server system requirements

phpwcms version 1.10.2 requires a web server with PHP 8.2 or newer. and a MySQL/MariaDB database (minimum version 5.6+ or equivalent).

Known problems

Because of the project history there are several probable problems regarding the database. MySQL changed the time and date related default values over the last years. Check to setup the related config values to connect to the database in a more compatible way. MySQL Strict is no good option. I work on this to solve the problems soon.
