23 you can configure this via $wgCSPHeader and $wgCSPReportOnlyHeader.

104 MediaWiki 1.32 requires PHP 5.5.9 or later. Although HHVM 3.18.5 or later is
105 supported, it is generally advised to use PHP 5.5.9 or later for long term
108 MySQL/MariaDB is the recommended DBMS. PostgreSQL or SQLite can also be used,
109 but support for them is somewhat less mature. There is experimental support for
110 Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server.
112 The supported versions are:
114 * MySQL 5.5.8 or later
115 * PostgreSQL 9.2 or later
116 * SQLite 3.3.7 or later
117 * Oracle 9.0.1 or later
118 * Microsoft SQL Server 2005 (9.00.1399)
121 1.32 has several database changes since 1.31, and will not work without schema
122 updates. Note that due to changes to some very large tables like the revision
123 table, the schema update may take quite long (minutes on a medium sized site,
124 many hours on a large site).
126 Don't forget to always back up your database before upgrading!
128 See the file UPGRADE for more detailed upgrade instructions, including
129 important information when upgrading from versions prior to 1.11.
