win2k os web server I need help installing

[typerx]

Hi all, I have a win 2K Web server and host a couple site I play with. I dont know much about the system. I want to add a shopping cart and get sales going on a site.

 

I am having troubles with getting file pernissions with chmod - I dont use FTP as I am at the main server. And I dont know how to set up the data base and user.

 

Can anyone help me out. Thank you and please if you have a moment can you reply

I would probably go with yellow tip web server, it has apache, php, mysql already built. so you just run an executable :) and it will do the rest, then you can run everything accordingly.. most files won't need permission settings, and the ones that do you can right click, and go to properties, and just set it to read/write that is pretty much the equivalent of a 777 in ftp (allowing read/write/executable by all users/groups)

You can't use the chmod command on a Windows server - chmod is specific to Unix/Linux servers.

 

To change file permissions on a Windows server you will either have to have a user-friendly control panel that allows yout o change permissions via some sort of File Manager or sheel access. If you use shell access you'll need to enter Windows specific commands to alter permissions.

 

You'll also have to have PHP, MySQL, and phpMyAdmin installed in order to run osCommerce on Windows.
