- Only PHP5 server-side scripting is supported. GD extension is required and safe mode should be off. To work with client-side HTTP cache, the PHP must be configured as Apache module.
- KCFinder supports Fileinfo PHP extension for MIME type detection of the files. If you decide to use this feature, you should to load Fileinfo extension. PHP versions prior to 5.3 needs to install Fileinfo PECL package.
- PHP ZIP extension should be loaded in order to have ability downloading multiple files and directories as single ZIP file.
