Apache 1.3 or 2.0, on roughly anything (Unix, Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X)
- Apache 2.4 or later is recommended
lighttpd (1.4.19 php-fastcgi ssl) on Linux
nginx (0.8.47) on Windows
Microsoft Internet Information Server, on Windows
Linux + LiteSpeedWeb Server Standard Edition
appWeb (a small, php-enabled webserver) executing on a Linksys NSLU2 ? Network Storage Link device

PmWiki has been reported not to work on:

Mac OS before Mac OS X because there's no PHP available
Specific Release Candidate builds of PHP 5.3 for Windows may not work correctly with passwords

The Standalone recipe provides a special, bare-bones webserver application that can be used to run PmWiki in places where another webserver isn't available. PmWiki can also be run from a USB drive.
