  • Am I not mistaken? You are trying to run magento on php v.4.4.9 ?

    I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it is about server setups specifically and not about Magento. The user needs to figure out how to setup a server correctly before even attempting to setup Magento.

Update your PHP to 5.3 or Magento will not work.

    Contact your server administer. PHP 4.4.9 came out in 2008. You might as well get a new server as most likely it is ancient.

  • Yes it is necessary. You also need to make sure you have a host that caters to Magento as well. Don't expect to run Magento on a $5/month hosting plan. You can spend weeks just optimizing the server for Magento.
