Thanks! Will change over shortly.

Should I change to Phoenix edition instead of Frozen-2.3.4.1? Are there any patches to Phoenix? And what is the Bootstrap edition? I noticed that some of the css of Frozen is in the Bootstrap css. So, please help clarify!

Is this the right place to ask "css" questions?

I have moved everything to the root and changed the configure.php files. The database is working. The store seems to be working, but not the "admin". It gets lost in "action_recorder.php" while trying to present the admin login screen. Here is my admin changed config.... define('HTTP_SERVER', ''); // eg, http://localhost or - https://localhost should not be NULL for productive servers define('HTTPS_SERVER', ''); define('ENABLE_SSL', 'true'); define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', ''); define('HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN', ''); define('HTTP_COOKIE_PATH', ''); define('HTTPS_COOKIE_PATH', ''); define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', ''); define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', ''); define('ENABLE_SSL_CATALOG', 'true'); // secure webserver for catalog module define('DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT', $DOCUMENT_ROOT); // where your pages are located on the server. if $DOCUMENT_ROOT doesnt suit you, replace with your local path. (eg, /usr/local/apache/htdocs) define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/admin/'); define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_ADMIN', '/admin/'); define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT . DIR_WS_ADMIN); define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', ''); define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', ''); define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT . DIR_WS_CATALOG); define('DIR_WS_CATALOG_IMAGES', DIR_WS_CATALOG . 'images/'); define('DIR_WS_CATALOG_LANGUAGES', DIR_WS_CATALOG . 'includes/languages/'); define('DIR_FS_CATALOG_LANGUAGES', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'includes/languages/'); define('DIR_FS_CATALOG_IMAGES', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'images/'); define('DIR_FS_CATALOG_MODULES', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'includes/modules/'); define('DIR_FS_BACKUP', DIR_FS_ADMIN . 'backups/'); define('DIR_FS_DOWNLOAD', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'download/'); define('DIR_FS_DOWNLOAD_PUBLIC', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'pub/'); Thanks!

Thanks to all answers! I am comfortable with the store being in the root of the site. I have other domains for other "opportunities". I looked for a configure file, but failed, so I shall go fix them now and clear up my muddle. I am a 55 year veteran of software engineering and I do, occasionally, get tangled with "new" versus "old" methods. Plus, in reading your footer, Phil, I realize that I didn't do the patches.

Another "Newbie" issue... Everything was working well until I was ready to attach to my new domain. It is an "add-on" domain with Godaddy. It appears that osCommerce needs to be in a folder called "catalog", and my domain needs to point to a folder named sparkystreasure.com. I set up a "sparksytreasure.com" folder and copied "catalog" into the domain folder. Then I set the pointer to sparkystreasure.com/catalog. I need to re-install oscommerce, I would presume, but neither Google nor Safari will access the new domain; rather it reverts to my primary domain. What am I doing wrong?? Also, I would love to see someone's store to see what the final look might be - not to copy anything!! Thanks, Nancy

As it turns out - I had to go back and install the original "Messagebox" function v1.0. Now I can upgrade to the latest changes. Thanks... -nsf43

I believe I applied your changes properly, but when I attempt to do the "install", there is no "messagebox" in the functions list. What did I miss? --N

Indeed! All installed and am loading DB. Will cancel GoCentral shortly...

Thanks! I was beginning to doubt my sanity; and you have given me confidence, which I was sorely lacking!! N

Thanks to both of you. I am about to get started, again :). I tried to go with GoCentral, but just couldn't get to a happy place with it. Having read LOTS, it seemed that osC would be the best choice. Have y'all had experience with any of the other open-source eCommerce offerings? Just curious. --N

I just downloaded osCommerce from the Godaddy site where my domains and hosting reside. I have poked around and get the sense that I need more than that download. I do not see documentation on "getting started" and I don't see a database download. Can someone give me some guidance, please? Thanks in advance!
