 To run your own copy of [[DokuWiki]] you will need the following:
-==== 1. Webserver supporting PHP====
+==== A Webserver supporting PHP ====
-DokuWiki will run on any web server, that supports [[http://www.php.net|PHP]]. Most users use [[http://www.apache.org/httpd|Apache]] but many others including IIS, lighttpd, nginx and Abyss are known to work.
+DokuWiki will run on any web server, that supports [[http://php.net/|PHP]]. Most users use [[http://httpd.apache.org/|Apache]] or [[https://nginx.org/en/|nginx]], but many others including [[https://www.iis.net|IIS]], [[https://www.litespeedtech.com/products/litespeed-web-server|litespeed]], [[https://www.lighttpd.net|lighttpd]], [[https://man.openbsd.org/httpd|OpenBSD httpd]], and ,[[https://aprelium.com/abyssws/|Abyss]] are known to work.
-==== 2. PHP version 5.2 or later ====
+==== PHP version 5.6 up to latest PHP version 7.4.x ====
-**PHP needs to be at least Version 5.2.**
+PHP needs to be at least Version 5.6 but newer versions are highly recommended. Please note that Dokuwiki is not yet compatible with PHP 8.
-For resizing [[:images]] either the [[phpfn>ref.image|PHP GD extension]] or [[http://www.imagemagick.org|Image Magick]] should be installed.
+Php 5.6 will not be supported in the next release and has some [[https://github.com/splitbrain/dokuwiki/issues/3474|quirk on Windows]], we recommend to use at least version 7.4 from now on, as PHP versions up to and including 7.3 are now [[https://www.php.net/supported-versions.php|EOL]].
-DokuWiki should work in PHP's [[phpfn>features.safe-mode|Safe Mode]], but depending on your hosting configuration you may need to use the [[:config:safemodehack]] option.
+For resizing [[:images]] either the [[phpfn>ref.image|PHP GD extension]] or [[http://www.imagemagick.org/|Image Magick]] should be installed.
-The pcre library in PHP needs to be compiled with UTF-8 support. You can test this by executing ''pcretest -C'' and looking for "UTF-8 support" (or "UTF-8 and UTF-16 support") and "Unicode properties support". ((If UTF-8 support is missing, snippets in the search results will be missing and when you follow links in the search results the pages will be empty.))
