Tasks Pro™ : Requirements

Server/Web Environment Requirements

Tasks Pro™ is web-based software that must be installed into a web server environment. However, this doesn’t mean that Tasks Pro™ can only be installed onto a web server. Most modern computers are very capable of running a web server and a database. Tasks Pro™ can be installed onto any computer that has:

  1. A web server (usually Apache or IIS) compatible with PHP.
  2. The PHP engine (version 4.1 or later, including PHP 5) installed and configured with the web server.
  3. Access to a MySQL database (version 4.x or later, normally installed locally).

All of these are available for Windows, Mac OS X and Unix/Linux systems - most even have friendly installers.

Run the Server Check script to see if your system is ready for Tasks Pro™. If the server check fails, you may want to look into a Use Tasks account or sign up with one of our recommended hosts.

Browser Requirements

Tasks Pro™ requires a modern browser with JavaScript enabled. It has been tested successfully in the following browsers:

  • Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.x (Windows)
  • Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.x (Windows)
  • Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 (Windows)
  • Firefox (Windows, Mac OS X, Unix/Linux)
  • Mozilla 1.2+ (Windows, Mac OS X, Unix/Linux)
  • Netscape 7.x (Windows, Mac OS X, Unix/Linux)
  • Camino (Mac OS X)
  • Safari (Mac OS X)
  • Opera (Windows, Mac OS X, Unix/Linux)*

* Certain versions of Opera have shown problems with various Tasks features.

Applause

So far, we’re using Tasks Pro™ to coordinate the bevy of operational tasks for our hosting service, coordinating management tasks between groups, and pretty much any other tasks that need tracking internally. It’s remarkably easy to use, and it helped significantly to improve internal communications and productivity.
