Requirements for MODx Revolution

Depending on the server, it's really easy to add what you need using "yum". I've updated php, added ImageMagic, cURL, PDO drivers, and a number of other extensions using it on a Rackspace dedicated server.

Thanks for the encouragement Susan. I have had plans move some of my sites to a VPS, but admit that server management has seemed a bit intimidating.

Google is your friend - everything I did was pretty much copy/paste from Google search results.

Thanks Patrick:

The server is running Centos OS 5.6
5.2.8-1.

Thus far, I am OK with reactive. Support has been lightening quick to respond, and very helpful. I'll certainly know more within a day or two once I have a chance to do an install.

Here's a question though: Can I upgrade the PHP on the server "after" I've already installed MODx and create a working site?

Yes. Just pay attention to the php.ini file that the new upgrade is using. Especially the date and timezone settings, and the magic_quotes settings.
