phpwcms is a flexible, fast, robust, customer and developer friendly but yet powerful web based content management system and cms framework running under PHP and MySQL/MariaDB. phpwcms is created and maintained by Oliver Georgi. None of the fancy systems but working since more than 20 years! Yeah!
Version 1.9.38 is the legacy version of phpwcms (version > 1.9.36 and < 1.10). I will try to keep this on par as long as possible to the newest version of phpwcms v1.10+ — if you can try to upgrade existing installations.
To get started, checkout phpwcms.org or the community driven HowTo Wiki (snapshot). Most questions are yet answered on the phpwcms support forum.
Stable releases can be used by cloning the repository, git clone git://github.com/slackero/phpwcms.git or
download the archive.
To start with the latest development version use git clone -b v1.10-dev git://github.com/slackero/phpwcms.git or
download the archive.
If you have downloaded the archive instead of git clone, unarchive and copy the files to your web document
root or sub folder. Link your browser to the related URL and follow the install instructions.
phpwcms version 1.9.38 requires a web server with PHP 7.4 or newer. and a MySQL/MariaDB database (minimum version 5.1, recommend 5.5+). Always check the supported versions of PHP.
Because of the project history there are several probable problems regarding the database. MySQL changed the time and date related default values over the last years. Check to setup the related config values to connect to the database in a more compatible way. MySQL Strict is no good option for phpwcms < 1.10. But phpwcms has a db related config setting to force MySQL into a more lax mode.
