Tasks Pro™ : Requirements

Server/Web Environment Requirements

Tasks Pro™ is web-based software that must be installed into a web server environment. However, this doesn’t mean that Tasks Pro™ can only be installed onto a web server. Most modern computers are very capable of running a web server and a database. Tasks Pro™ can be installed onto any computer that has:

  1. A web server (usually Apache or IIS) compatible with PHP.
  2. The PHP engine (version 4.1 or later, including PHP 5) installed and configured with the web server.
  3. Access to a MySQL database (version 4.x or later, normally installed locally).

All of these are available for Windows, Mac OS X and Unix/Linux systems - most even have friendly installers.

Run the Server Check script to see if your system is ready for Tasks Pro™. If the server check fails, you may want to look into a Use Tasks account or sign up with one of our recommended hosts.

Browser Requirements

Tasks Pro™ requires a modern browser with JavaScript enabled. It has been tested successfully in the following browsers:

  • Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.x (Windows)
  • Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.x (Windows)
  • Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 (Windows)
  • Firefox (Windows, Mac OS X, Unix/Linux)
  • Mozilla 1.2+ (Windows, Mac OS X, Unix/Linux)

  • Safari (Mac OS X)

* Certain versions of Opera have shown problems with various Tasks features.

Applause

I used Alex King’s Twitter Tools to integrate my Twitter remarks, called “tweets”, into the sidebar as well. Alex is a star of Web 2.0, in my opinion, and his code is incredibly high quality. It’s always a pleasure to be able to use more of it!
