wizard907 Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 I installed OCcommerce onto my root directory instead of /catalog Are there any problems with this type of installation? Also could there be any security issues with me doing it like this? I'm using Yahoo Small business for hosting the site. Thank you in advance.

Iggy Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 I installed OCcommerce onto my root directory instead of /catalog Yay! Are there any problems with this type of installation? Also could there be any security issues with me doing it like this? Nope. None at all. I'm using Yahoo Small business for hosting the site. Thank you in advance. No experience with Yahoo as a hosting service but if it works as expected should be fine. HTH, Iggy Everything's funny but nothing's a joke...

jasonabc Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 I'm using Yahoo Small business for hosting the site. You could not have chosen a much worse hosting solution for an OSCommerce store (possibly with the exception of Earthlink :-) ) Jason My Contributions: Paypal Payflow PRO | Rollover Category Images | Authorize.net Invoice Number Fix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizard907 Posted August 21, 2006 Author Share Posted August 21, 2006 You could not have chosen a much worse hosting solution for an OSCommerce store (possibly with the exception of Earthlink :-) ) Could you tell me why and who would be a better host? The reason I chose yahoo is because of their fast servers... Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyjgarcia Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 I am considering using Yahoo hosting too. Please send me a private message on who is a good hosting company, please don't tell me iPowerWeb, I am using them for one eStore, although my store is a couple of years old and I'm not sure if their new servers are much better. I appreciate the help, I won't consider it spam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥Vger Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Yahoo do not allow use of any file beginning with a period (dot), so you can't use .htaccess or .htpasswd files etc. You won't get any support from them for osCommerce. As for their fast servers - well they'd have to be, especially as most of the worlds spam is routed through @yahoo email addresses, and they even provide bulk mail facilities to spammers. Don't be surprised if many of your emails to your customers get rejected by their mail facility providers, because they are subscribed to the SpamCop or SpamHaus services.

jasonabc Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 We're not allowed to recommend hosts on the boards - but do a search of these forums. OSC and Yahoo are not the best of friends ;-) Jason My Contributions: Paypal Payflow PRO | Rollover Category Images | Authorize.net Invoice Number Fix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
