AutoResponse Plus System Requirements
AutoResponse Plus will run on most Linux hosts that have access
to Perl, cron and MySQL. If you need to ask your host if their
service is compatible, please point them to this page. The URL is:
http://www.arplus3.com/arp_requirements.htm
General Requirements
- A web site hosted on a shared or dedicated web server running
UNIX or Linux (not Windows NT or 2000)
- MySQL (at least 3.23.39)
- Perl 5.005 or greater with your own CGI-BIN
- FTP access for installing and configuring the software
- Sendmail, Qmail or Exim on your server (Exim and Qmail are
much faster than Sendmail)
- Ability to create and run cron tasks in your domain
- PHP4 (this is used only for message open-rate tracking)
- Access to the MySQLDump and MySQL utility programs for backing
up and restoring data
Perl Modules
Like most Perl based systems, the software requires certain
Perl modules to be pre-installed on the server. On most
installations of Linux, all of the required modules would normally
be installed as standard.
If any modules are not already installed, your host can install
the missing modules. All Perl modules are available for no charge
from CPAN.ORG. The software has a utility called arp3-modules.pl
which tests the server for required modules.
Browser Compatibility
The software has been tested with the following PC based
browsers:
- Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0, 5.5, 6.0, Netscape 7.0,
Opera 6.05, Mozilla 1.1
...and the following Mac browsers:
- Safari and Firefox on OSX Version 10.3 and 10.4
Your browser must have cookies and Javascript enabled. Any
“popup killer” you are using must be deactivated or some features
of the software (eg help and message preview) will not be
available.
