Hello,

I am new here, trying to set up this oscommerce cart system.

My host provider is HostNexus, i am on a Windows server with coldfusion and php and mysql and SQLserver support.

 

I am a web designer/developer, but i am new to this cart system.

I am also into the vinyl cutting world, doing decals and graphics and signs/banners, t-shirt and hats, etc..

I have a business bank account that is linked to a paypal account and i have a Square card reader account linked to it as well.

 

Im just wanting to get this cart setup and enabled, probably buy an SSL Certificate (?), etc.. so i can have my own cart on my site...

 

I have been reading the info from the PDF file, and just wondering if theres more info or a how-to on this forum....

 

Thanks.

Ok i got it all set up... and its at the finish screen and there are two buttons Catalog and Administration Tool...when i click on either one i get to a page that says:

NOT FOUND: Document not found on this server.

Its taking me to a weird address: http://www.gcextreme.com/catalog/install/://www.gcextreme.com/catalog/index.php

 

 

I am not sure what i did wrong... i have my database set up and everything went fine...but when i go to my site at:

http://www.gcextreme.com/catalog/

its all goofed up.

 

Im working on getting an SSL certificate too.

i got this response from my webhost tech guy:

 

 

Hello,

 

I had granted write permissions on the folder 'catalog' so all files under this folder have same write permission.

 

If the remove the write permission from D:/inetpub/vhosts/gcextreme.com/httpdocs/catalog/includes/configure.php; then you can't update the shopping cart using its admin section.

 

Also its a Windows IIS server, so its not possible to use .htaccess configuration file.

 

 

Do you still needed the write permission removed from the configure.php file?

 

 

----

 

Does this mean i cant use the OSCommerce cart?

you will probably have to manually edit this file: includes/configure.php

I personally never install osCommerce for my clients on a Windows server. The cart is more functional on a Linux server. You can still edit the configure.php file using an FTP client and a text editor but your permissions will never really be good on your current server platform.

Rather use notepad....

 

Check the urls and the server file paths... in that file

 

For instance the url should not be: ://www.gcextreme.com

 

it should be: http://www.gcextreme.com

Anyone have any idea on how to fix the left side nav menu links?? they are so far to the left that the first two letters are out of the browser window.....

 

also is there a section on how to change colors and style/design of the cart site??
