ShopSite System Requirements

ShopSite shopping cart software is designed to work in a variety of common Web hosting environments. You can get ShopSite for Web servers running on Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris, and Windows Server operating systems.
In addition to the ShopSite program requirements indicated below, you will require disk space for your store content. The amount of disk space required by an individual store depends on several factors, such as the number of products and orders and the size and quantity of images you use. As a general guideline, we suggest having at least 10MB of disk space set aside for your store content, but you may need more.
You will need to have administrative rights on your Web server to install ShopSite. In order for ShopSite to run without problems, your server should meet at least these minimum requirements, depending on your operating system:

• Linux
  • Kernel 2.2 or newer with glibc 2.1.3
  • Apache or compatible Web server1
  • SSL support is required for PCI compliance
  • Sendmail or compatible SMTP server
  • 1Ghz or better Intel/x86 Compatible CPU
  • 256MB RAM
  • 40.4MB Hard Drive space for program files
  • 40.4MB Hard Drive space for installation files2
• FreeBSD
  • Version 4.3 or newer. Native version 6.x support.
  • Version 5.x requires Version 4.x compatibility libraries
  • Apache or compatible Web server1
  • SSL support is required for PCI compliance
  • Sendmail or compatible SMTP server
  • 1Ghz or better Intel/x86 Compatible CPU
  • 256MB RAM
  • 40MB Hard Drive space for program files
  • 40MB Hard Drive space for installation files2
• Solaris
  • Version 2.6 for SPARC or newer3
  • 64-bit systems require some 32-bit libraries
  • Apache or compatible Web server1
  • SSL support is required for PCI compliance
  • Sendmail or compatible SMTP server
  • Sun SPARC CPU
  • 256MB RAM
  • 46.2MB Hard Drive space for program files

• Windows Server
  • Windows 2000 Server or 2003 Server
  • Internet Information Server (IIS) 5.0 or newer1
  • NTFS File System
  • Sendmail or compatible SMTP server
  • 1.6Ghz or better Intel/x86 compatible CPU
  • 512MB RAM
  • ~50MB Hard Drive space for program files
  • ~50MB Hard Drive space for installation files2

Whichever operating system you are hosted on, it is an extremely good idea to make sure your operating system and other software is up to date. Software updates frequently include security and reliability enhancements, which can significantly contribute to security and stability on your Web server. Contact your system administrator or hosting provider if you have questions about keeping your server up to date.

Footnotes:
1. ShopSite will work with most NCSA compatible Web servers such as Apache and IIS. Your Web server must be configured to use standard NCSA-style authentication, and should have SSL capability.
2. Hard Drive space required for installation is in addition to the space required for the program files, but is only required for the installation. If you have limited available space, you may remove the installation files after ShopSite has been installed.
3. If you are running Solaris 2.6, you must have the complete 2.6 recommended patch cluster installed, including Sun Patch 107733-10.

That means you need a dedicated server (or VPS).
