GenieList is built on top
of GenieGate, it uses the same access groups and permissions to control who has access to the
various features. The big thing to be wary of is PHP5, when genielist was first introduced, several
years ago, many hosts did not support PHP5, hopefully that has changed by now. You should ask your ISP
if they have PHP5 (or confirm it in some other way).
GenieGate - (Free version OK)
GenieList needs a working GenieGate installation (don't worry, you can use the free version of GenieGate, that will work just fine)
Really Easy Install Once GenieGate is installed, GenieList is really easy to setup, it picks up the configuration from GenieGate, so all you have to do is run the setup utility and it's done.
UNIX based host
FreeBSD, Linux will do just fine, it might work on a windows machine, but this is difficult for us to test. (hopefully, you don't use windows for anything important anyway)
If you're looking for a host, we recommend you avoid godaddy for web hosting. Although, we will work with you if you are a godaddy user, we've had some bad experiences with them.
Generally, if GenieGate works on your host and you have PHP5, GenieList should work just fine.
PHP 5
GenieList makes use of the modern object oriented features of PHP, the 4.n versions of php will not work.
MySQL
Any fairly recent version of mysql should work fine.
