System Requirements
Windows or UNIX/Linux Based Web Server
CartIt has been on the market for years. We have had no problem on any UNIX platform, including the most exciting derivative of UNIX to date, Linux. A Windows-based Web server will require Active State PERL. Almost all Windows Web servers have Active State installed.
CGI-BIN
A “private” location to store CGI applications on your Web server.
Sendmail on UNIX/Linux
Sendmail is a standard mail transport system on UNIX systems. It is extremely rare that a UNIX or Linux system does not have Sendmail.
SMTP Server on Windows
On your Windows server, you must have access to a valid SMTP server. SMTP is a core feature provided by most hosting companies.
PERL Version 5.x
PERL is required on Windows and UNIX based systems. PERL is usually installed on every UNIX and Linux based system. On Windows, it is very common and on commercial Windows hosting accounts, it is almost unheard of to not have PERL installed. PERL for Windows can be found at: ActiveState.com.
Power Extensions
CartIt has the ability to perform real-time credit card processing and real-time shipping quotes.
You will need an account with the shipping service provider and/or the real-time credit card providers. For these extensions to function on your Web site, you or your Internet provider must have the required PERL modules installed.
Required Installed PERL Modules: LWP::UserAgent
Crypt::SSLeay
Server Certificate (Optional)
While not required, it is strongly recommended that you have a server certificate for your Web site. A certificate can be obtained from Thawte or VeriSign. Your hosting company should have some type of document published on their Web site about how to obtain a certificate, or you can contact them directly.
Limitations: CartIt can also use Shared SSL from your Internet provider, however, this shared SSL must be a single server environment. CartIt will not function if it requires two separate log-ons or accounts for SSL and non-SSL environments. This is due to the fact that we are no longer supporting this obsolete (and non-commerce friendly) method of hosting.
CommerceBuddy System Requirements
CartIt 8.0 also requires CommerceBuddy. CommerceBuddy is INCLUDED with your purchase.
