Guest Posted August 9, 2004 Posted August 9, 2004 I am trying to install the OS Commerce. I got the help link on how to install it. Can it be installed on my local machine before uploading it to a web server? I have tried a couple ways to upload it. I talked to a friend of mine. He said that he didn't know of a way to set up the store and get it done and then uploading it. It that true? I wont have the web space for a few weeks. I want to go ahead and start work on my site on my computer now and then upload it when I get the web space.
conrad10781 Posted August 9, 2004 Posted August 9, 2004 you could do a few things, you can install locally, edit, then just upload those edited files on a fresh install on the webserver. for example .css files, index.php, backup of your database etc.

I need to know how to get the Configuration to start?
conrad10781 Posted August 9, 2004 Posted August 9, 2004 same as you would with a remote machine, just use localhost as your domain
conrad10781 Posted August 9, 2004 Posted August 9, 2004 btw you will also need to install apache, mysql, etc

Easy PHP install instructions When you get ready to upload the site to the server the only files you will need to change are your two configure.php files. The Knowledge Base is a wonderful thing. Do you have a problem? Have you checked out Common Problems? There are many very useful osC Contributions Are you having trouble with a installed contribution? Have you checked out the support thread found Here BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP!!! You did backup, right??
