Hi all,

 

I would like if i can get someone to tell me how and where to start... I am ready to learn...

 

I got no clue with php language or how to FTP on to a server or to set up a server....or any of these that you need to configure and install the online store....

 

Can anyone help me as to what book to start or someone would like to get with me over the phone and teach me please.....

 

Thank you very much.....

Do you have an account with a hosting company to host your site? If you do, check in your control panel with them. Many will have an option to allow you to install the oscommerce shop with just a few clicks. Once you get the shop up and runining, you will need to read as much as you can about what is needed. The best source is here on the forums.

You will need to install a server setup on your computer. Give EasyPHP or XAmpp a try. They are easy to setup.
