| + | Both GemsTracker and LimeSurvey require access to MySQL databases. MySQL version 5.5 or higher is required. We advise MySQL version 5.6. MySQL version 5.7 has a strict mode that is enabled by default, but that causes know problems with GemsTracker. Using MySQL 5.7 with strict mode **disabled** should work fine. | ||
