AiCart Requirements
Minimal system requirements
1. PHP 4.1.0 or better (PHP 5 is also supported)
2. MySQL
The web server must have support for MySQL databases. AiCart is compatible with MySQL versions from 3.23 to 5.x.
You will need to have access to a MySQL database, so make sure you have the following information: your MySQL server name, your database name, your username and password for MySQL access
3. Hosting space
A fresh installation of AiCart uses 10 megabytes of disk space at least. In addition to that, some disk space will be needed for the template design, image files (if you choose to store them on the file system) and files that might be added in connection with AiCart's customizations. The database space used by AiCart depends on the number of products, customers and orders stored in it. As a result, database space requirements can vary from as little as under 5 megabytes for small shops to over 500 megabytes for large stores.
4. Other requirements
- Java Script for AJAX Support.
- An HTTPS module for some of the online credit card processing modules and for shipping modules.
- PHP function "mail()" for sending emails from your store (email notifications, news messages, etc).
An SSL certificate is also highly recommended to ensure security of online transactions at your store. You can contact us to find out more information about obtaining a certificate.
