Hi you can install apache on your local PC to do testing ect all you need do is set your configure files in the catalog and admin to to localhost rather than domain.com Hi you can install apache on your local PC to do testing ect all you need do is set your configure files in the catalog and admin to to localhost rather than domain.com I do all my testing on local server then transpher it to the live server.

Dolcev Posted November 7, 2005 Author Share Posted November 7, 2005 Thanks Wombat, Yeah, I realise you can install Aphache and mySQL and PHP on the local PC but someone mentioned a nice little bundled package that sets up the environment really quickly. The reason I need this is because I need to setup osCommerce on 12 laptops for a bunch of sales reps who want to be able to surf the companys website without having to connect to the internet. That bring me to another question... how can I set this up so that the website on the laptops will update with any new information that is on the online site? Thanks again.

If there all on a local network they could all browser the domain like " say 192.168.0.5/catalog" otherwise they would need to connect to the net, then they might as well dial in??

Dolcev Posted November 7, 2005 Author Share Posted November 7, 2005 They'll be offsite and not connected to the net. I found a thread related to an osCommerce Stand Alone server - www.oscommerce.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=164181 Looks like nobody has built this yet... don't know why i thought someone had already created this. Maybe if I have some time I'll do it :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whinny55 Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 Hi Dolcev, Could you be thinking of XAMPP? It is a wonderfully prepackaged setup which will let you test osCOmmerce (or any PHP/MySQL type application) locally, and comes with everything you need, and is way simple to install. You can find it here: http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html I use it myself, and it sure does wonders... Whinny55 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
