QC Update Laboratory 1.01.14 System Requirements
QC Update Laboratory 1.01.14 is built for current Joomla 5 and Joomla 6 sites and depends on normal Joomla installation/update services plus enough server resources to create and operate a private production-derived copy.
Practical requirements
| Area | What QCUL needs |
|---|---|
| Joomla | A supported Joomla 5 or Joomla 6 installation with Joomla Installer, Update, ACL, database, and Scheduled Tasks available. |
| PHP/web server | A normal Joomla-compatible PHP/web environment. Apache/LiteSpeed rewrite support is important for the strongest external pre-Joomla laboratory access gate. |
| Filesystem | Writable QCUL private storage and laboratory paths plus enough disk space for the copied site, update packages, restore points, and optional production checkpoints. |
| Database | Privileges to copy/restore Joomla-prefixed tables and create/remove QCUL run-specific tables during laboratory/checkpoint operations. |
| Browser session | Long operations advance through bounded AJAX requests, so the administrator keeps the Laboratory page open while active processing is occurring. |
Resource planning
Large sites can require substantial temporary disk and database space. Use the Lower server load creation speed when hosting timeouts or resource ceilings appear. That reduces work per request; it does not remove the need for adequate total storage.
Before the first push
Verify a complete independent backup and know how to restore it. QCUL’s temporary production checkpoint is optional, update-scoped, and expires; it is not the system-requirement substitute for full recovery preparedness.
Practical administration note
For QC Update Laboratory 1.01.14 System Requirements, make changes from the live Joomla administrator and verify the result in the same QCUL tab before starting laboratory work. QCUL’s streamlined 1.01.14 interface intentionally hides developer storage paths, raw batch controls, licensing fields, and retired management screens; do not look for those older controls as part of the current procedure.
