twice.redeemed Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Hi - I just downloaded the package and am going to install it tonight. I don't know any php, although I know standard sql (not MySql), and I am proficient in scripting like ASP. Do you think not knowing php will be a major drawback?? It will be installed on my Windows server at my ISP, is that OK? Any other tips or tricks before I install it? Thanks for the help Alllen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The store works best on a Linux/Unix server - my experiences of installing OSC on Windows boxes have always been bad ones - I remember email being a particular headache. cheers Jason Jason My Contributions: Paypal Payflow PRO | Rollover Category Images | Authorize.net Invoice Number Fix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twice.redeemed Posted March 3, 2006 Author Share Posted March 3, 2006 Thanks, is there much scripting involved to get it running. Do I need to know php pretty good?

jasonabc Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Thanks, is there much scripting involved to get it running. Do I need to know php pretty good? To install and get working you need virtually no knowledge of PHP at all as most ISP provide an installer application that sets up and configures the store for you. The level of PHP knowledge you'll need will depend on the level of reskin you'll then want to perform. A serious reskin will require a good to advanced knowledge of PHP and MySQL. cheers Jason Jason My Contributions: Paypal Payflow PRO | Rollover Category Images | Authorize.net Invoice Number Fix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
