Platform

Nowsee Cart is server software and you should contact your ISP to find out exactly what type of server hardware and software they are using. There is no need to get your ISP involved in the installation as Nowsee Cart is installed at the virtual domain level. As long as you have the ability to run cgi programs then you will not have to get your ISP involved in the installation process. Our software, if installed correctly, is very secure and stable. Nowsee Cart comes with a setup Wizard which is easy to use and Nowsee Cart sets itself up on your server.

Platform
  • Windows 95/98 on Intel

" Free Installation, No Purchase Necessary"

Note: If you do not find your server platform here, please contact us as we can compile a version for your server.

 

Copy Files

The first step is know if your Internet Service Provider allows you to run cgi programs. Nowsee Cart is a compiled program and is not a set of perl scripts. It is important that you have access to your cgi-bin directory and can change permissions on your own. Usually cgi programs are kept in a "cgi-bin" directory or "scripts directory. All you need to know here is that your ISP allows you to run cgi programs. The installation does not usually involve any help from your ISP. The usual directory structure is

folders

and we recommend to copy the files to a new directory with the name cart.

Running Setup

On UNIX systems the binary is the file named "setup". On NT, the binary is named "setup.exe". On UNIX systems the executable bits may need to be turned on for the binary file by typing "chmod 755 setup" if you have telnet access or use WSFTP to change this mode, for more info press here.

Finally, run the web setup wizard by accessing the following URL with your browser.

UNIX http://yourdomain/cgi-bin/cart/setup
Windows NT http://yourdomain/cgi-bin/cart/setup.exe or
http://yourdomain/cgi-bin/cart/setup
