QCTNH 2.0.3 System Requirements
QCTNH 2.0.3 enforces a small set of installation requirements and relies on Joomla’s native Scheduled Tasks/WebCron capability.
Supported platform
| Requirement | 2.0.3 requirement |
|---|---|
| Joomla | Joomla 5.x or Joomla 6.x. The package preflight rejects versions below 5.0.0 and 7.0.0 or newer. |
| PHP | PHP 8.1 or later. |
| Joomla Scheduler | The com_scheduler component must be available. |
| Schedule Runner | Joomla’s System - Schedule Runner plugin must be installed; QCTNH enables it when found. |
| OpenSSL | Required to encrypt/decrypt the local service credential. |
| Outbound HTTPS/HTTP | The Joomla site must be able to contact QuantaCade for registration/check-ins and update discovery. |
| Inbound WebCron reachability | The registered hostname must be publicly resolvable so QuantaCade can reach Joomla’s native WebCron route. |
Recommended environment
Use HTTPS with a valid certificate, the normal standard HTTPS port, stable public DNS, and a canonical public hostname. QCTNH can represent an installation in a Joomla subdirectory, but that path becomes part of the registered origin and must remain consistent.
Before installing
- Confirm Joomla Scheduled Tasks opens normally under System → Scheduled Tasks.
- Take a current backup before any extension upgrade.
- If the site is behind a WAF, proxy, or CDN, ensure Joomla WebCron can be reached without redirecting to a login/challenge page.
Administration note
QCTNH 2.0.3 System Requirements should be evaluated from the current 2.0.3 administrator interface, not from older QCTNH builds that used development-era task mechanisms. The present product has only About, Support, Status, and Dashboard tabs and intentionally relies on native Joomla WebCron.
That matters when comparing screenshots or older notes: the absence of a QCTNH-created Scheduled Task is expected, not evidence that installation failed. Upgrade cleanup explicitly removes the retired round-trip test task/plugin when remnants are found.
