Requirements

Webhosting

• At least 10mb of storage.
• PHP newer than 4.3 (PHP website)
• MySQL at least 4.1.16 or 5.0.16 (see note below) (MySQL website)

Note (MySQL)

Some versions of MySQL in the above range DO have an issue with a particular query, if your particular MySQL has that bug, Alliance and Player Statistics will not be updated correctly with the GalaxyTool Plugin. We are working on notification of this issue with affected installations.

Freehosts

There are several free hosting companies which will support an installation but they have a lot of advertising, and are not recommended. For an overview of webspace hosters offering both PHP and MySQL and user experiences with hosting a galaxytool you can look at the table of hosting providers and the Galaxytool.

Official hosting offer by eX0du5

If you are not familiar with what the above means, you can use the free hosting at www.galaxytool-hosting.eu. You will not need to update the galaxytool there, it will be done automatically for you. Space is limited though, so keep checking to see if registration is open.

Supported Browsers

for access to the webinterface

any modern browser, that allows cookies tested:

• Firefox (Best choice, plugin available for easy galaxytool updates)
• Internet Explorer

Works with:

• Firefox

• Epiphany

Will not work with the following:

• Opera (does not copy tooltips with copy&paste.)
• Konqueror (does not correctly copy galaxy view in proper format for galaxytool to parse.)

Javatool

With the help of the Javatool you can copy a whole galaxy within 30 minutes. If you want to use the Javatool, you need at least a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.4.2 on your PC to start the program.

You will need a lot of time, or an active alliance which supports you filling the database.
