Andrew31 Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 After several tries to install correctly the oscommerce I’ve took the idea that the main script, installer and install documentation wrote different people. 1. First. Is anybody manage to install the script with renamed /admin/ directory how it written in documentation ? Every time I rename it before install I can’t get into admin after install. 2. How and which directories should I chmd? In doc there is only 2 files need to be chmod to 755 but actually nearly all the files and dirs need to be chmd to 777. 3. Why this need to install the script into /catalog/ if I want to have the shop in the site root? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 1. See my post at http://www.oscommerce.com/forums/index.php?act...ndpost&p=552588 2. CHMOD all configure.php to 444, all images to 777, catalog/backups to 777 3. Yes, you can install osCommerce in root directory. Just move the files in catalog folder up to the root directory.

You should only need to change your two configure.php files to 777 for the install to work. After the install you will need to change your images, admin/backups and admin/images/graphs folders. You should not need to change any other files or folders until you start installing contibutions. 3. You do not need to install to /category just ftp all the files that are in the category folder directly to your root and run the install. It works fine and will not cause you any trouble. 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??

Andrew31 Posted February 20, 2005 Author Share Posted February 20, 2005 Actually I left /admin/ as it is and will put the pass through .htaccess Anyway the /backups/ you need to do manually and I thought that was a problem with my installation. Q. about CHMOD: The pass to SQL base so visible if you write the correct path to configoure.php How you guys avoid this? And another one important Q. Documentation have possibility to give the prefix for MySQL db but I cant find how to do this … I am using the last official version of oscommerce.
