This is a web based application. That means that it is not the regular program that you install on Windows. But it's not difficult to install at all.
As a web based application, it requires a web server and a browser to operate. It is a program which you host or upload into your web server and you operate using your web browser.
Here are the technical details that guarantee that this application will work as expected :
| Requirements | |
|---|---|
| Web server | Make sure that your site is hosted in a Windows Based Server and supports .NET 2.0 This is a web based application and therefore requires a web server to operate. It has been developed to run exclusively on web sites hosted on Windows based Servers with support for the Microsoft .NET 2.0 Framework. |
| Database | Make sure that your web host has a SQL Server database for you. This application l stores its information in a database. This program has been developed to run exclusively with SQL Server 2000 / 2005 or higher databases. If you don't have SQL Server 2000, you can use MSDE 2000 which is a scaled down version of SQL Server 2000 or SQL Server Express 2005 both free from Microsoft's web site. |
| Web Browser | Internet Explorer 5.0 or higher on a windows based PC is required for the representatives chat sessions and system administration. |
2. Can I use my already existing database or does the software need
a new one?
The system has been developed in such a way that it can be installed on a shared
database and co-exist with your other database elements without any issues
at all.
3. How easy is it to install?
The installation process is very easy and is explained in full detail in the
accompanying user manual.
Basically all you need to do is to unzip and upload some files to the web server
(BY FTP) and update the database connection string by modifying a single line
of code in a text file.
All the application can be fully deployed by FTP
4. My Web Host is Linux and I have a MySQL database, will that work?
Unfortunately no. This application has been developed to run exclusively on
a Windows Based Server using SQL Server as the database. No other platforms
are supported.
