To run OpenCms you need
- a Java SE Development Kit (JDK)
- a database management system (DBMS)
- a servlet container
- and for server installation a front-end webserver (e.g., Apache)
Here we give an overview on versions of these software components where OpenCms 9.5 is tested on.
That does not mean that you are tied to these versions, but they are recommended.
1 JDK
- Java SE Development Kit 6 (tested)
- Java SE Development Kit 7 (recommended)
- Java SE Development Kit 8 (untested)
2 DBMS
OpenCms can connect to several different database management systems. The list provides an overview on the various provided database connectors and the DBMS versions for which the connetors are tested. Probably the connectors work also for newer versions of the DBMSs.
Only the connectors that are displayed bold are officially supported by Alkacon Software GmbH, the main developer of OpenCms.
