Customer Reviews

Requirements:

This system runs on your own hosting server, this can be an in-house server or just on your own website (like I have it).

• PHP 5.3 and above only
• MySQL database
• Lots of client information that you would love to keep in one place
• A web server (preferably Linux Apache, it will probably NOT work on a Windows hosting account – although people report it does)
• PHP with cURL enabled (so that automated updates and installation works) ask your hosting provider
• This script will most likely not work on hosting accounts that have PHP “safe_mode” enabled. safe_mode is an old feature and it causes lots of problems with this script.
• PHP with IMAP functions enabled (for newsletter system and ticketing system) ask your hosting provider – godaddy shared hosting does not work, and they have many email problems anyway, I suggest using a different provider.
• A public facing website (eg: yourwebsite.com/admin_system/) if you want to use payment processing (eg: paypal)
• .htaccess mod_rewrite is nice to have, if you get 404 errors then ask your hosting provider to enable ”.htaccess mod_rewrite” or go into config.php and change _REWRITE_LINKS from true to false
