Guest Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 This will be my first shopping cart and I am clueless. I've been doing my client's webs with FP 2000 and some manual coding. Do I have to use FTP to upload OSCom? If I FTP I'll corrupt the Front Page extensions on the existing site. Otherwise I wouldn't know how to put the OS files INTO front page and get them to the proper directory. I hope I am making sense here. Recap: How do I install and run OS with Front Page 2000. I'd REALLY be grateful for help here. Thanks in advance. Rosie
Andrew Yuen Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 osCommerce is written in PHP. FrontPage is used to edit HTML. To use FrontPage with osCommerce you would need to install STS (simple template system) and create a html template with FrontPage. Andrew Yuen osCommerce, Community Team

I know you all are much more advanced and that's where I am trying to go. I'm needing a bit of a walk through. Can anyone assist? My server offers no technical support in this area. I need to set up OS to sell vitamins for a client and also to use his DVD commercial as a site intro. Thanks.
natewlew Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 It seems like you could upload the catalog directory with frontpage. Other great Open Source (Free) programs: (Free as in free speech not free beer) The Gimp - An image program. | Firefox - All you have to do is add the Web Developer add-on to make this web browser complete. | FileZilla - An ftp program. | Inkscape - A good program to create images with. | Thunderbird - An email program. | Openoffice.org - An office suite that is compatible with MS Office. | Abiword - Another office suite. | Audacity - A sound recording tool. | ddp's Picks | Wordpress - An easy to use blogging software. | Joomla - An easy to use CMS that has ecommerce plug-ins. | Drupal - Another CMS How do I find these programs?

Guest Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 It seems like you could upload the catalog directory with frontpage. Thank you for answering but can someone tell me where to physically put the OS files into Front Page 2000 so that I can correctly upload them to the server. I'm sure once I can do that properly , I can figure out the rest. I really need help here. Thanks
natewlew Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 I'm not sure? Can you navigate around your computer with frontpage and find the OSC catalog folder? Wouldn't the same as uploading any other file?

Thanks for trying to help anyway. I give up.
natewlew Posted September 28, 2006 Posted September 28, 2006 You can put it where you want. You can place all of the files from the catalog directory into the root of you website or you can upload the catalog folder to the root of your website. Then go to www.example.com or www.example.com/catalog to start the install.
