web-project Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 database server: http://localhost/ ( I also tried enter just localhost incorrect as should be: localhost or 127.0.0.1 or other dedicated ip address Please read this line: Do you want to find all the answers to your questions? click here. As for contribution database it's located here! 8 people out of 10 don't bother to read installation manuals. I can recommend: if you can't read the installation manual, don't bother to install any contribution yourself. Before installing contribution or editing/updating/deleting any files, do the full backup, it will save to you & everyone here on the forum time to fix your issues. Any issues with oscommerce, I am here to help you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
