System Requirements


Because eSurvey is a Web application, it has both server side requirements as well as client side requirements. These requirements are as follows:

Server Side
These are the requirements needed to both run and access the eSurvey application. In order for eSurvey to be set up and run properly, users must have the following web server environment
  • Web server software (IIS or Apache)
  • A Microsoft SQL Server database
  • PHP 4.3.1 or above

Users accessing the eSurvey application must also use a compatible web browser. Currently, eSurvey has been designed to only work with Microsoft Internet Explorer versions 5.5 and up. Users attempting to access eSurvey with different browsers will be alerted with a warning message. Although they will still be able to access the eSurvey application, it is not guaranteed that all of eSurvey's features will be functional.

Client Side
These are the requirements needed for people to actually view and submit a survey online. These users must have a JavaScript enabled web browser. eSurvey's surveys have been tested to be operational on all of the browsers in the following list, however, other browsers may also render the surveys correctly.
