The e-commerce.

Is there anyway to run osC from a CD?

This is an interesting question.

I assume you are doing this as a proof of concept or demo for a customer.

 

The easy answer is "No" and my recommendation is to install it on laptop.

I know program like dwebpro and other allow php/mysql web to run on CD.

 

if we modify the osC not to run based on Sessions and not to write any info on the disc - just get data and display them- , is it possible then?

I was leaning more towards Lamppix, however a working knowledge of Linux is necessary.

I believe that osC will not run properly without sessions (stored to disk or dB).

 

However, according to the Lamppix Forums

the MySQL database is writeable as it lies in the ramdisk. But if you reboot, all your changes will be lost, if you don't backup.

 

My suggestion is give either solution a shot... I know what I will be doing this weekend. <_<

HTH,

Maybe someone else can comment on a "no sessions" version of osC or using a windows app like dwebpro.

lamppix is for linux environment right?

I am on windows environment.

 

Can anyone comment on the no session OSC used for cataloging purposes only?

 

Thanks

DwebPro works for running oscommerce on a CD.

 

It took me a while to get it working but now it runs smoothly.

 

go to dWebPro and have a look.

 

You will need to download the DwebPro software and the following addons:

 

- PHP 4.0

- phpmyadmin (dont need it but it makes life easy)

- MySQL 4.0

 

Make sure that you set your http.ini to make a temp folder.

 

Cheers,

Tim :thumbsup:
