System Requirements 

OroCommerce is a web application which runs on a server. Users interact with the application via a web browser on any computer or mobile device that have access to the internet or the network where the server is hosted.

Server-side Requirements 

Resources 

Resources configuration depends on the data size and number of active users and integrations. Typical setup could be done on a single server with a minimum of 2 CPU cores, 2GB RAM, and a fast hard drive (SSD is recommended). The application could scale to multiple servers and a separate database server based on the expected load.

Operating Systems 

Linux distributions (RedHat, Ubuntu, Debian, Oracle Linux) are recommended for the production setup. Windows 7 and above and Mac OS X can be used for the development environment.

Software 

Oro applications are compatible with most web servers with PHP support, but the following configuration is recommended:

Web Server

  • Apache 2.2.x or 2.4.x

  • Nginx latest mainline or stable version

Web server configuration recommendations are well described in Symfony web server documentation

PHP

  • PHP >=8.3

  • PHP CLI, the same version as for the web server

PHP Settings

Few updates to default PHP configuration settings should be done in php.ini for the web server and CLI:

  • date.timezone must be set

  • detect_unicode must be disabled

  • memory_limit should be 1Gb or above

Depending on the debugging tools and extensions used during development, the memory_limit may be even higher in the development environment.

If the xdebug is installed (which is not recommended in the production setup):

  • xdebug.scream must be disabled

  • xdebug.show_exception_trace must be disabled

  • xdebug.max_nesting_level above 100

By default, max_execution_time value equals 30 seconds. In case of using the Schema update option, it is recommended to increase this value.

  • curl

  • fileinfo

Enterprise Edition Software

PHP Extensions

  • pgsql

Database

Search Index

Job Queue

PostgreSQL Configuration

PostgreSQL uuid-ossp extension should be loaded for proper doctrine’s guid type handling. In order to enable it, one can connect to the database server and run the following sql query:

CREATE EXTENSION "uuid-ossp";

Optional recommendations 

  • Tidy PHP extension should be installed to make sure that HTML is correctly converted into a text representation

  • Redis - could be used for more efficient application caching. Supported versions of Redis 7.2.x

  • pngquant and jpegoptim are used if it is necessary to optimize the image size in storage

Client-side Requirements
