Before your order, make sure that your server runs / supports the following:
- Crontab
The crontab is a small background service that runs whatever you want it to every minute.
ATX uses the crontab to read the log files of incoming and outgoing hits every minute,
to update the stats, re-calculate the value of all the trades, update the toplists,
scan your trades, etc.
- FTP + SSH access
In order to upload and install the script, FTP (to upload) and SSH (to install) is required.
A 'root' account is not required for SSH. In fact, the user account that matches the rights and
permissions of your own account is preferred.
- cgi-bin
ATX is compiled in C++. The resulting binary code uses the Common Gateway Interface (CGI)
to communicate with Apache and basically work. Therefore it is required that apache is set up
to execute cgi files in a specific directory. Usually this directory is called 'cgi' or 'cgi-bin'.
So make sure your host supports cgi files.
- chmod
The CHMOD command is required to change the permissions for certain files.
CHMOD is a very basic command that all professional hosts support.
Occasionally the CHOWN command is also required to change the ownership of certain files.
If you have a SSH account for your users account on your server CHOWN is probably not required.

important
if your server runs a different distro / version of Unix / Linux,
please send an email to support at arrowscripts.com first.
Other distros will most likely work, but these are the ones that have been tested so far.
If your host gives you the choice, always go for FreeBSD :)
