DavidRad Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Hello all! Thanks for a great contribution. Some clarifications please: I have an existing site with many modifications. Is there a way to install Multi-Stores without disruptig existing site? Would altering (via diff) the existing site files with those of the new multi-store files be the only way to implement? Would that include making changes to existing site's database via update.sql? Any direction would be much appreciated to divert a disaster. Thanks again!

Thanks again! the only way to achieve this is to be very careful in what changes you make to the source code so that you do not overwrite previous changes - the best way forward is to use a php developer who can do this for you (probabaly paying them would help to) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥toyicebear Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 The multi-shop version contains may changes, and in most cases its easier to start from scratch with a default osCommerce...then adding the multi-store contrib and then adding other contributions again after that.

DavidRad Posted October 9, 2007 Author Share Posted October 9, 2007 The multi-shop version contains may changes, and in most cases its easier to start from scratch with a default osCommerce...then adding the multi-store contrib and then adding other contributions again after that. So, for a more trouble-free install: 1. Install default osCommerce 2. Install Multi-Shop over #1 3. Install addt'l Multi-Shops in their own user (FreeBSD) accounts? <-- this is where I get stuck. I presently have the default osCommerce with Multi-Shop installed over it, as per installation instructions. I then added an addt'l shop which will/supposed to live in its own user directory (not underneath, i.e. http://www.Shop1.com (usr/home/shop1), http://www.Shop2.com (usr/home/shop2), etc.) Does Shop2 represent an addt'l Multi-Shop install over another default osCommerce install or by itself via another Multi-Shop install? Sorry for the convoluted explanation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥toyicebear Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 1. install osCommerce 2.2ms2-060817 , you can find it at source forge 2. install Multi-store 3. Read all the instructions/user manuals included with the multi shop contrib 4. Read and if needed ask questions in the Multi-Store support tread in this forum.
