Web-server requirements

You will need approximately 100MB of disk space for webtrees files - plus whatever is needed for your media and GEDCOM files.

webtrees supports “pretty URLs”, using web-server rewrite rules. You should not enable this until after the setup is complete. Otherwise the setup wizard may not be able to detect the base URL.
