AMZLIST

AMZLIST is a easy tool to compare different products on Amazon Stores worldwide. I created the site a couple years ago, but never did any advertisment for it and lost intrest. So it never made it and I am not able to create a beautiful user interface.

Features

• search products
• select currency
• conversion of other currencys
• create links between products on different sites
• secure captcha for linking products
• multilingual
• rrd graph for price history (only backend)

Installation

To install your own AMZLIST you need a Linux server with Apache + Mysql and a couple of perl modules. The product is diveded within a backend and fronted for a higher scalability.

A script for the installation is available. It is tested on ubuntu, but should work on debian as well. The best would be to run the script on a empty server or check the install script for what needs to be done.

$ git clone https://github.com/bert2002/amzlist.git
$ cd amzlist/setup/ubuntu-init/
$ ./install-ubuntu.sh

Configuration

The configuration is made within the webinterfaces and backend configuration file. Some comments were added. Mostly you need to change the domain and add the Amazon reference IDs. The rest should be untouched until you know what you are doing :)

Please follow the instructions from the installation script.

Known Problems

• Its slow
• Ugly code
• Comments missing
