Imagevue Requirements
In addition to PHP, your server should have a few extensions enabled to run Imagevue X2 correctly. Some are critical, while others are optional. If you are using a professional host that supports PHP, the chance is 99% that all the extensions mentioned are enabled already. However, if you run your own server, you might want to go through the list of required extensions:
PHP 4.3+, PHP 5
Foremostly, Imagevue X2 requires a server that runs PHP. PHP is a serverside scripting language standard on most servers these days, but if you are unsure if you have it or that your version is 4.3 atleast, you still need to check. Imagevue X2 requires php version 4.3 or higher.
