Indicia requires PostgreSQL to run – our Hosting only offers support for MySQL, is there any way of running Indicia under MySQL?
In order to install Indicia, you need 2 things. The first is a “Warehouse” which hosts the back-end stuff, including PostgreSQL and preferably GeoServer (which uses Java so also may be difficult for your host). The intention is that a single Warehouse can support several online recording websites, and therefore it may not be necessary to host your own as you can share it with other schemes. For example, there is a possibility that a national record centre might host a Warehouse for use by other organisations. Or alternatively several record centres could combine forces and share a Warehouse between them. Because of the technology required, although it is possible to find a shared internet account which will allow installation, the Warehouse is more likely to be installed on a private server of some kind. The second thing you need is the website itself which will include your data capture pages, and maybe distribution maps, browsing and reports etc. These pages only require PHP version
