Hi.Currently i have one domain and i want to install oscommerce to public_html but i will buy a second domain and also install oscommerce to public_html.Are there different public_html folders for different domains or just one?If there is one how should i install so that in adress bar my website looks like xx.com.To my knowledge if i open 2 folders in public_html and install scripts to these folders in adress bar my adresses would look like xx.com/folder1 xx.com/folder2.
(ps:Same hosting will be used for 2 domains)
Thanks

You can't install two shops in the public_html directory. You need to install one in a sub-directory and add the domain name as an addon domain. Your host has to allow you to do this - most will, some won't - so you should verify with them first that you can. Once it is all setup, the shops will be seen as separate from the web.

I'm doing a similar install with more than one domain.
I already have one domain in the root directory withh a working copy of oscommerce.
Now I want to add another cart with another domain, so what I've done is made a different name folder "shop" instead of "catalog" which contains the catalog contents.
Doing this when I type in the www.mydomain.com/shop/install nothing happens, I get a 403 error
Now consider the host allows you to host as many domains as you wish, what I did was direct the domain name to a different folder.
Example
mydomain.com/catalog (exisiting install)
myseconddomain.com/ is in a folder called "other" in the mydomain.com/other/index.htm (and this works for an index page
However if I place the files on myseconddomain.com/catalog nothing seems to work I don't see install.php in the catalog folder its only in the catalog/install/install.php
Anyway is there a way to trouble shoot this, I don't get an error?
As the poster above I'm trying to install more than one cart in one account that allows serveral domains.
Any help or suggestions is appreciated, thank you
