problems with ecommerce

[Guest]

Hi

 

I have just installed oscommerce application into m website. First thing I did was to copy the /catalog to my root. so when a user sees http://mysite.com/.. should redirected towards /catalog/index.php. Now the files which I saw on the oscommerce catalog folder are php files. I want to design to my own needs using the these php files. what I did was I redesigned these php files(/catalog folder) into m own design. I want to adminstrator these php files using the myphpadmin...but there is a lot of talk about changing the permission in the configure.php files to suit my server setup. Could you tell step by step procedure to installing and configuratiing the php Mysql and the permission which i need to give where and how? Also I have edited the configure.php files

 

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://mysite.com');

define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://mysite.com');

define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://mysite.com');

define('ENABLE_SSL_CATALOG', true); // secure webserver for catalog module

define('DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT', '/public_html/catalog/'); // where the pages are located on the server

define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/catalog/admin/'); // absolute path required

define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', '/public_html/catalog/admin/'); // absolute pate required

define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/public_html/catalog/'); // absolute path required

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/public_html/catalog/'); // absolute path required

define('DIR_WS_IMAGES', 'images/');

define('DIR_WS_ICONS', DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'icons/');

define('DIR_WS_CATALOG_IMAGES', DIR_WS_CATALOG . 'images/');

define('DIR_WS_INCLUDES', 'includes/');

 

 

 

define our database connection

define('DB_SERVER', 'localhost'); // eg, localhost - should not be empty for productive servers

define('DB_SERVER_USERNAME', 'ob1_pos');

define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', 'boss');

define('DB_DATABASE', 'nairdine_p_os1');

define('USE_PCONNECT', 'false'); // use persisstent connections?

define('STORE_SESSIONS', ''); // leave empty '' for default handler or set to 'mysql'

 

 

Please kindly help to find out where I am going wrong.
