Web browser

Latest version of Chrome is recommended (Firefox is safe too).

  • Since 2.7.0, IE9 is no more supported
  • Following versions of iTop will no longer supports any Internet Explorer versions

Web Server

Apache Httpd, Microsoft IIS

iTop packages contains built-in configuration for Apache Httpd and IIS (.htaccess and web.config files).

NGINX

To configure NGINX properly, take a look at this dedicated web page : NGINX

GraphViz

iTop relies on Graphviz to produce graphical representations of the object's life-cycle as well as the impact analysis graph.

On Linux, graphviz is already part of the prerequisites defined above, so there is nothing additional to do.

On Windows: download Graphviz from the web site and install it.

You will be prompted to supply the exact path to Graphviz during the setup. The expected value is the the full path to the dot executable (named dot.exe on Windows). For example /user/bin/dot on Linux and C:\Program files (x86)\Graphviz 2.68\bin\dot.exe on Windows.

DB Server

To select a database version, check MariaDB release notes by version and MySQL Documentation

Galera clusters with multiple masters are NOT supported by iTop, because such clusters do not properly implement the GET_LOCK MySQL function (for more information: Galera cluster known limitations).
