Requirements

To run Typo your host just needs a couple of things:

Ruby on Rails version 2.0.2
MySQL version 4.1 or greater, PostgreSQL 7.0 or later or SQLLite.

That's really it. We recommend Apache along with mod_rails as the most robust and featureful server for running Typo, but any server that supports CGI or proxy and MySQL will do. That said, we can’t test every possible environment and each of the hosts on our hosting page supports the above and more with no problems.

Ask for it

Here's a letter you can send to your host; copy and paste!

I'm interested in running the open-source Typo <http://typosphere.org/> blogging software and I was wondering if my account supported the following:

Ruby on Rails 2.0.2
MySQL 4.1 or greater
The mod_rewrite Apache module
Thanks!
