What are the technical requirements?

PHP 8.2+ and a MySQL/MariaDB database, that's it. Required PHP extensions: pdo_mysql, mbstring, json, fileinfo. No root access, no VPS, no Composer at runtime.

• Apache or LiteSpeed with mod_rewrite and .htaccess enabled
• InnoDB engine & utf8mb4 charset
• Write permissions on the media/uploads/ and storage/logs/ directories
• PHP Settings: max_execution_time of at least 60 seconds in php.ini. Since SPChat uses Server-Sent Events (SSE) for real-time delivery and keeps each connection open for about 50 seconds, this prevents unexpected client disconnects.
