Fresh Install

[Baddco]

OK Folks...Sit back and be patient.

 

I'm walking into a can of worms and need lots of help.

 

I took over probably more than I thought I was. I took over a half started web store and would like to know my best option. Try to salvage what is here, or delete it and do a fresh install.

 

I think the latter would be best as I'm not certain what ( if any ) previous passwords or accounts were in this installation.

 

On a fresh install my #1 question would where to upload it, Does it matter what I name it? So long as I remember what I named it?

 

Will the store have a URL of http://www.myserver.com or will it be http://www.myserver.com/storename

 

It appears the software is preloaded on the server. I get really lost on where to upload it

 

I will be needing lots of help...Mostly in set-up

 

I thank you all.

Thank You.

 

Ok next step. I'm at install doing everything correctly and hit my first block

 

Step 2

 

I get this error message:

 

Access denied for user: 'memindex@localhost' to database 'osc1'

 

I thought I successfully created the Dbase in my PHP control panel

Ignore that last post...Had a brain fart.

 

I spent most the night getting this up & running and I'm patting myself on the back. I've got most of the Highlighted Pink to go away. The one I'm working on now is:

 

Error: Backup directory does not exist. Please set this in configure.php.

 

I've searched the entire file and found nothing about DIR_FS_BACKUP.

 

Is this something I need to add/configure manually in the file? I just figured it would be a default I only need to edit. Do I need to create a directory named DIR_FS_BACKUP"

 

Thank You again. ( I start my work week Monday...Ya won't be hearing from me for a few days )
