server and php configurations

[BubbaLovesCheese]

Hello,

We are considering different servers and php configurations in preparation for our new xenforo purchase. There are 6 different PHP configurations to choose from, so we would like to confirm that our choices will matches xenforo's requirements.

We have narrowed it down to the following options:

1) A level 4 web hosting server with Hetzner : https://www.hetzner.com/webhosting/level-4
2) And the latest PHP configuration, 7.4. which can been viewed here : http://testen.de/info.php74

Please let us know if this will work with xenforo.

Thank you.

As long as the server meets the requirements listed on this page then it should be fine: https://xenforo.com/purchase/

There's a bug in PHP 7.4.5: GD doesn't support JPEG (JPG is fine, JPEG is not). That is supposed to be fixed any day. Most XF forums will run fine even with the bug though.

I know it says it's enabled but it doesn't work:

JPEG Support

enabled

You'll probably want to turn these ON:

allow_url_fopen	Off	Off
allow_url_include	Off	Off

From a quick scan, everything else looks good.

Thank you! We will keep that in mind. Thanks.

or, just use imagemagic instead. I'm running 7.4.5 without issues.
