Requirements There are three requirements to operate Aestiva Broadcast:     1. You need a copy of Aestiva HTML/OS for your server platform.     (HTML/OS Runtime is included with purchase)     2. You need an account on a Web server.     3. You need an active cgi-bin in the account. Aestiva Broadcast runs on shared accounts, co-located servers or in-house servers. It can also operate off the Web (On servers behind a firewall or off-line production Web servers). Requirements for operating on shared accounts, intranets and co-located or dedicated servers are described below. OPERATING AESTIVA BROADCAST ON SHARED ACCOUNTS If you are running a Web site on a shared account at a hosting provider that provides CGI access, then you will most likely be able to run Aestiva Broadcast. Aestiva Broadcast has almost a 100% installation success rate. IT WOULD BE 100% BUT SOME HOSTING PROVIDERS WHO ADVERTISE CGI ACCESS DON'T ALLOW BINARY PROGRAMS TO RUN OUT OF THEIR CGI-BIN FOLDERS. AESTIVA BROADCAST CANNOT BE INSTALLED IN THESE ACCOUNTS. IT IS WORTH NOTING THAT THIS IS LIKE BUYING A CAR AND FINDING OUT, AFTER BUYING IT, THAT THE CAR IS NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE WHEELS. THE COMMON GATEWAY INTERFACE (CGI) IS THE WEB STANDARD FOR RUNNING BINARY PROGRAMS ON A SERVER. Installing Aestiva Broadcast does not require any server configuration and in general, no communication or support from your server administrator or hosting provider. ABOUT RAM Aestiva Broadcast can operate with as little as eight (8) Megabytes of RAM. Virtual hosting accounts rarely place limits below this level so if you are operating at a virtual hosting account, it is unlikely you will run into RAM limitation problems. HOSTING PROVIDERS Aestiva Broadcast frees hosting providers from the support and communication required with customers who create advanced Web sites. Most hosting providers who require approval on CGIs approve Aestiva Broadcast. Aestiva Broadcast has built-in cgiwrap to protect hosting providers, built-in security so users cannot access other parts of the Web server, and low CPU needs. Hosting providers want to provide users with advanced capabilities but can only do so if the programs running on their servers do not burden their servers or their support staff. Aestiva Broadcast accomplishes this to the satisfaction of hosting providers worldwide. OPERATING AESTIVA BROADCAST ON INTRANETS If you are running a Web site on your own server then you can operate Aestiva Broadcast. You will need a Web server. Use any CGI 1.1 compliant Web server (such as Apache, IIS, Netscape Enterprise, MS Personal Server, etc..). Once your Web server is set up you can install Aestiva HTML/OS. No additional software or hardware is needed. No additional RAM is needed. The difference between operating Aestiva Broadcast on intranets and the Web is minimal. On intranets your domain name may be something like mycomputer whereas on the Web the domain name always has an extension. It looks like www.mycomputer.com. Other than the differences in the domain name, operating Aestiva Broadcast on an intranet or a Web site is the same. OPERATING AESTIVA BROADCAST ON CO-LOCATED WEB SERVERS If you are running a co-located Web server then you can operate Aestiva Broadcast. Most co-located Web servers come pre-installed with an active CGI 1.1 compliant Web server (Such as Apache, IIS, Netscape Enterprise, etc..). No additional software or hardware is needed. No additional RAM is needed to operate Aestiva Broadcast.
