System Requirements

Eicra Auction is ideally suited to linux/unix web servers. Eicra Auction can be installed on the majority of Windows/IIS server but we cannot offer any assurances. Please ensure the server on which you will be installing Eicra Auction meets all the requirements below. If your unsure please contact the hosting company who provide your hosting. Alternatively E-Mail us the web address of your hosting company and we will check on your behalf.

Server Requirements

Eicra Auction also requires the creation of a Cron Job. The cron job keeps your site up to date and refreshed. It controls the time on the auctions and closes them when an auction has ended. It also automatically sends out E-Mails to users. We recommend setting this up via your hosting control panel such as Cpanel. If you don't have access to a web hosting control panel you can set Eicra Auction to run a cron job through the Eicra Auction admin area.
