Complete Novice....Need Help

[holik012053]

Hi. I am true beginner using the Powweb hosting solution for my website. I am using their site builder, which is very easy to use. Then I told them I wanted the shopping cart features and credit cards/paypal etc. They sent me to OsCommerce. The installation was easy and successful. However, I don't know what I am supposed to do now:(

 

I don't understand how this links to my website and gives me shopping on my site? I am sure I am missing something...but whatever it is I am clueless and a little stressed.

 

Can anyone help me out? Remember, I am really new and have no experience at any kind of programming.

 

Thanks in advance!

go to www.yoursite.com/oscommerce/admin

 

With "yoursite" being your domain name.

 

Sign in. If you don't have to sign in, you'll need to set up a password protection on your web server (ask your hosting company how).

 

Click on all the different links and input your info.

read the knowledge base/documentation prior to doing anything else, will definitely pay off.

Whoops! Told you the wrong place. It's

www.yoursite.com/admin/ to administer the shopping cart

 

and

www.yoursite.com/oscommerce/ to see your shopping cart.

Thank you both for the prompt reply. I will definitley go through the knowledge base info right now. However, I did try the below addresses and nothing happened. I got errors. Any ideas on what I might have done wrong? Thanks!

without knowing where you installed the site, it is tough to say, probably www.yoursite.com/catalog and www.yoursite.com/catalog/admin
