Photography Orders is simple software, but it does a lot of heavy lifting behind the scenes while it is uploading photos.

Check with your web host that they can meet these requirements.

You will need a Linux web server with:

  • Apache with mod_rewrite enabled
  • PHP 5 with the GD2 extension installed
  • safe_mode turned off
  • allow_url_fopen turned ON
  • MySQL
  • The ability to set permissions
  • memory_limit set to as high as possible, at least 256M. The higher the memory_limit, the bigger the photos you can upload
  • The web host needs to be a Linux web host

The majority of web hosts will have these features installed. Photographer’s are encouraged to check with us if unsure.
