 .PHP版本4.3或更强大的
 .MySQL版本4.0或更强大的
 .（可选择的）Apache mod-rewrite模块（for clean URIs称为Permalinks）

WordPress服务器对版本2.1，2.2，2.3的要求：

Recommended setup

We recommend Linux with either the Apache or LiteSpeed web-servers as the most robust platforms for running WordPress, but any server that supports PHP and MySQL will do. If your host doesn't support one of these platforms, and mod_rewrite, you will probably be better off switching to one of the many hosting providers that do offer those choices.

It is also essential that your host allows remote connections.
