General Notes

- The basic requirements are a server running PHP 4.1.0 or newer and MySQL 3.23 or newer.

- Interaction with some payment processors require PHP with the curl library with SSL support and xml. If you want to use UPS live quotes, you must sign up at UPS and enter your Userid, Password and XML AccessID.

- If you want to use USPS live quotes, you must sign up with USPS and enter your Userid and Password. For these you also need Perl installed with the XML::DOM module.

- On Yahoo! webhosting and possibly other sites, if you just logged into your imscart account and the system logs you out, this is because there is not a /tmp directory set up automatically.

• Workaround: ftp to the site, goto the root directory and create the directory.

- On Yahoo! webhosting, when you upload an image file it doesn't show up in the flypages. This is because the permissions on the file are automatically set to 600 (i.e. not readable by the web browser).

• Workaround: FTP to the directory where the files are and chmod them to so that they are readable by all.

- NOTE - When cutting and pasting links to products/tours, etc, never include any PHPSESSID parameter in links that point to IMS pages, e.g.,

&PHPSESSID=f5282133c4ec37c6ebe7bf0f0a358e01%20

- Can't get phpMyAdmin to work from within imscart admin: won't accept authentication. This is a problem on NTT/Verio for example.

• Workaround: edit the file imscart/inc/imscartmyadmin/config.inc.php and change the line:
  
  $cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = http;
  
  to
  
  $cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = cookie;
