hi vger,

I was following the steps you have described for instaling osCommerce, but when I try to open www.mydomain.com/install I'm given following error:
Not Found

The requested URL /install was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

what do u think the problem is?

Thanks in advance

This 'How To' Guide is so old it needs updating or removing - whilst it is handy for a total novice (like me) it confused the cr*p out of me on some points...

IT IS A VALUABLE RESOURCE - Please - update it - there are tons of brainy dudes (and dudesses?) out there - please help us!

Nini2011 - You haven't got your install in a sub folder on the domain have you?

Have you tried www.mydomain.com/catalog/install

I'm posting this here so that people who need to can find a quick Installation Guide for osCommerce. It goes a bit further than the Installation Guide in the Knowledge Base.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Here's the quick install guide.

1. Create a blank database via your web hosting control panel.

2. Download the osCommerce 2.2 MS2 zip file from the downloads section of www.oscommerce.com, unzip it and extract the 'catalog' folder.

3. If you want your shop to be available at http://www.yourdomain.com/catalog then upload the whole of the catalog folder to the root directory of your website via FTP. If you want the site to be available at http://www.yourdomain.com then just upload all of the contents of the catalog folder, but not the folder itself.

4. Make sure that the permissions on all of the folders are set to 755, and if that does not work then set them to 777. Make sure that the includes/configure.php file and the admin/includes/configure.php file are set to 777 for the duration of the install. Once the install is complete reset to 644, 444, or 400 depending on your server setup.

5. Then go to http://www.yourdomain.com/install and begin the install procedure. Your DB Server will probably be 'localhost', your db user name and password (for mysql access) will have been provided to you by your web hosting company. The name of the database you already know - because you just set it up. Do not enable SSL, elect to store sessions in the database and not files (untick the box), and do not enable persistent connections.

6. After the install create a folder called 'backups' inside the 'admin' folder (via FTP), and delete the install folder. Reset permissions on the two configure.php files.

7. Password Protect your 'admin' folder using the Password Protect feature in your web hosting control panel.

Away you go!

Hi Vger

I was wondering as I am brand new to this whole thing and I have been learning as much as I can as I go along. I have managed to get the whole oscommerce template up and edited on my localhost "Home Machine" two questions though. How would I go about taking that specific site that I have worked on in my local host live to my godaddy hosting? And what would I need to get from godaddy to make my shoping cart work properly. Also if anyone has any idea, I would like to sell video clips how can I go about doing that?

Thank you so much for being kind to newbies :-)

Hi, not new to osCommerce but this is the first install I have done for myself, naturally I have a problem!

I have installed to the root of the public_html folder as the store will be the website BUT in the URL i have a // to the store. So, it reads http://www.mystore.com//product_info.php?products_id=28&osCsid=3f8c44f1b21f076fb716b4dad2f22b51

Can anyone shed any light on why this is so and what I can do to change this?

Thanks.

You have a "/" in the /includes/configure.php file where you shouldn't.

You'll need to post the upper part of it to tell exactly where it is.

If you do post it be sure to leave out the DB info at the bottom of the file.

No one needs to see that part but you.
If I suggest you edit any file(s) make a backup first - I'm not perfect and neither are you.

I see several things that don't appear correct.

However, I visted the site and it all seems to work and I don't get any // in any URL's.

I must assume you've fixed it already.
