System Architecture Overview

The HS CRM application system is built on the LAMP (Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP) platform. It is designed to operate with two main user interfaces: (1) a company staff-facing backend user interface, and (2) integration with a front-end company website, preferably built in Wordpress and running on the same web server as the backend system.

Main Components

Assuming the web server domain directory is in a /public_html (or /www) directory,

• The HS core software, located on the web server in the /public_html/houghton directory;
• Customized versions of the core software code files, located in the /public_html/houghton_local directory;
• A single MySQL database;
• A front-end website, usually built on the Wordpress platform.
