I'm OSC newbies....questions:-

 

1. How to input administrator id and password during OSC installation process?

- I must left those fields empty in order to proceed next step installation..

 

2. What is the different between File & Database (during installation option)?

- I always choose file, which is better?

 

3. What is "session"?

 

4. How to input "zone.sql" into OSC?

1. A stock install does not have an admin password you will need to do this yourself.

 

2. This is where your sessions info is kept mysql is better especially if you are on a shared server.

 

3. This is the temp files that allow customers info to be kept so they can save products to the cart.

 

4. Go to phpmyadmin-> choose your database-> click on the sql tab-> click browse choose the file and click go.

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

2. Is that mean select Database instead of File?

In your two configure.php files change

 

define('STORE_SESSIONS', ''); // leave empty '' for default handler or set to 'mysql'

 

To

 

define('STORE_SESSIONS', 'mysql'); // leave empty '' for default handler or set to 'mysql'
