CS-Cart System Requirements

CS-Cart is developed to meet most server configurations ranging from shared hosting accounts to dedicated servers. In fact, there are only two core things that your host must have to run CS-Cart:

  • PHP version 5.3 or greater;
  • MySQL version 4.1 or greater (MySQLi or pdo_mysql must be supported)

This makes CS-Cart compatible with almost every server that supports PHP and MySQL. However, we recommend Apache or any interchangeable alternative as the most robust and stable server for your web store.
