### CFML Engine

Saaster requires the CFML engine [Lucee](http://lucee.org) 5.3.9+

### **Operating Systems**

Your Lucee engine can be installed on Linux, Mac or Windows.

### **Database Engines**

Saaster requires [MySQL 5.7](https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/5.7.html)

### Web Server

Saaster should run on all popular web servers. Saaster got tested with IIS and the [Tuckey servlet filter](http://tuckey.org/urlrewrite/). The chosen web server should support URL rewriting.

Example configuration:

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="IIS" %}

```xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
    <system.webServer>
        <rewrite>
            <rules>
                 <rule name="API" stopProcessing="true">
                    <match url="^/api/(.*)$" />
                    <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll">
                        <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" ignoreCase="false" negate="true" />
                        <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" ignoreCase="false" negate="true" />
                    </conditions>
                    <action type="Rewrite" url="api/index.cfm/{R:1}" appendQueryString="true" />
                </rule>	
	        <rule name="SEF" stopProcessing="true">
                    <match url="^(.*)$" />
                    <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll">
                        <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" ignoreCase="false" negate="true" />
                        <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" ignoreCase="false" negate="true" />
                    </conditions>
                    <action type="Rewrite" url="index.cfm/{R:1}" appendQueryString="true" />
                </rule>
            </rules>
        </rewrite>		
    </system.webServer>
</configuration>

```
