Fantastico is (I believe) a 1-click automated install. You shouldn't have to provide much by way of details.

it is quick but .. you have to fillin in something like what directory...

Install OS Commerce (1/4)

 

 

Installation location

 

Install on domain

mydomain.com

Install in directory

 

Leave empty to install in the root directory of the domain (access example: http://domain/).

Enter only the directory name to install in a directory (for http://domain/name/ enter name only). This directory SHOULD NOT exist, it will be automatically created!

 

Admin access data

 

Administrator-username (you need this to enter the protected admin area)

 

 

Password (you need this to enter the protected admin area)

 

 

Base configuration

 

Shop name

Owner's name

Email sender (will display in the "FROM" field in the emails sent by the shop)

Your email address (copy of all orders will be sent to this address)

Use SSL (secure transactions) Yes No

Secure server hostname in case you use SSL. Only hostname (and username in case of a shared certificate). Don't add 'https://' and don't use leading or trailing slash.

Show prices incl. tax Yes No

 

I need to know what directory to creat to put it in????????

Follow the directions - it'll walk you through installation. Do not create the directory yourself. If you have a domain name:

 

www.mydomain.com

 

And you want your site there, then you want it installed in the root directory. (And according to the instructions, you "Leave empty to install in the root directory of the domain"). If you want it at a URL like so:

 

www.mydomain.com/store

 

then you enter "store" as the directory name. Hence "Enter only the directory name to install in a directory."

having the same sort of problems, if i leave the field blank i.e. upload to the domain name it comes up with the following

 

The installation can not be completed:

 

- You chose to install in the main directory of the domain ms-online.co.uk, but there are conflicting filenames, therefore we can not proceed. Following filenames already exist in the main directory of the domain ms-online.co.uk (path="/home/ms7onl/public_html/").You must manually remove these files before proceeding with auto-installation:

images

 

 

Click on the browser's Back button to fix reported errors.

 

shall i remove these files? or will it mess things up?

 

thanks very much

It's saying that a folder called 'images' already exists in the root and it can't overwrite it. Unless it has images you want to keep then delete the images folder and then do the install.
