Which server features does Freehold CMS need?

Check requirements before copying files

At minimum, confirm the supported PHP version, MySQL/MariaDB support, writable protected storage and the PHP extensions needed by the modules you plan to use. Some modules add requirements such as Fileinfo, ZipArchive, GD or EXIF.

When a readiness check names a missing extension, enable that exact requirement rather than changing unrelated permissions.
