– Can be deployed into a IIS or an Apache Web Server, both are supported

– If your application is hosted, make sure your web host allows running an executable process within the web application. For more information please comment or send me a message before you buy.
The PHP script below will test if the exec() function is callable but please understand that this alone does NOT fully confirm that you are able to run the shipped executables in your system. Further host configurations may be needed.
<?php echo exec(“ls”); ?>
or for windows
<?php echo exec(“dir”); ?>
A good hosting company with remarkable support and allows running executables is Hetzner, http://www.hetzner.co.za
