The idea behind In-Link is that it can be effortlessly installed and configured on virtually any Unix/Linux or Windows NT/2000/2003 web server. Currently, In-Link is supports MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL database and is written using ADODB (http://php.weblogs.com/ADODB) plug-in for databases. The following are the technical requirements for In-link to run:
Operating System: Windows NT4, 2000, 2003; Linux Kernels 2.2 and higher, all flavors; Sun Solaris, FreeBSD and other systems will work as long as the Apache web server and PHP are supported.
Web Server: Apache 1.3.x, 2.x; IIS 4.0 and higher
PHP: 4.2.1 and higher, with proper database support
Database: MySQL 3.22 and higher, 4.0 and higher; Microsoft SQL 7, 2000; Limited functionality available on PostgreSQL 6, 7.
Even though In-link features a high performance-parsing engine with internal caching, it can still put a significant stress on your system if running websites associated with large volumes of data and traffic. We have successfully tested In-link running on virtual server accounts and we recommend dedicated servers for increased performance. However, In-link will work flawlessly on most of virtual accounts for medium-tier web sites.
You can get the software necessary to run In-Link at the following URLs:
Apache Server - www.apache.org
PHP - www.php.net
MySQL - www.mysql.com
Microsoft products - www.microsoft.com
As part of In-link distribution prior to version 2.2.10, we offered a Zend compiled version of In-link. Please be advised that while offering a slightly better performance, running a Zend-compiled version will require a Zend Encoder installed on your server. Secondly, since it is a compiled version, you will not be able to access the code to modify or to customize it, as you can do to it in the interpreted version.
Beginning with 2.2.10 and in all newer versions we no longer include the Zend version with our distribution.
