Hello, in the docs of the Manager there should be added some notes about the requirements (feel free to correct wrong assumptions):

  • PHP-CLI required (Command Line Interpreter)
  • 1,5 GB RAM required, so not to be used in most of the currently offered shared web hosting environments

Maybe the last point should be added as a warning, because the hosting requirements are currenty only supported by a few "shared hosting" providers or when using a managed/root server.

The problem with this is, that there is no "correct" version. PHP-CLI is not necessary required, the manager actually works with a PHP-CGI version as well (it might be slower though). It is however required to be able to execute this, but honestly I doubt that someone reading the manual will be aware what that means…

Also, the memory limit very much depends on the number of extensions installed. 256MB might be enough for simply setups, but 1.5GB might be too little for very complex sites. Also, it's not the web hosting memory limit, but the command line limit.

I have no idea how and if to add this to the documentation. I'd prefer to have the manager to realize these things and tell if something is wrong…
