Install the Kohana Framework on a PHP - Web Hosting Server

Could the PHP Kohana Framework be installed on any Web Hosting Server which provides PHP5?

I wonder because it is purely written in PHP5 built-in objects.

Do I have to be aware of any extraordinary setups or can I simply follow the installation documentation and get it run on the web hosting server?

Solution

  • When you upload the files to your server and try to access the index.php, the system will automatically call the install.php and check whether Kohana will run on the server or not.

    You can see the requirements in the documentation

    Update

    I just had the problem that I tried installing Kohana on a server with only basic PHP extension installed. The Environment Test didn't fail, however I got a white page when trying to access it (after removing install.php).

    The problem was mbstring wasn't yet installed and Kohana didn't check for it, just assumed it was.
