New First Time Installation

Hi,

 

I really am at lost here. I downloaded the package which comes with the admin and catalog. I have uncompressed it. Then I uploaded /catalog to a server under www.zinko.net/sports/catalog and the admin to www.zinko.net/sports/admin

 

Next I did setup up the database as required.

 

What do I do now? I can find installation instructions or examples anywhere except the very brief one which asked me to do the above.

 

Can anyone please help me out? Thanks.

Are we talking 2.1 or 2.2 ?

Ok, I am using 2.1.

 

I can see a bit at www.zinko.net/admin

Cant see a thing at www.zinko.net/catalog

 

Can someone view it and tell me what's wrong?

Posted

Sorry, It was supposed to be

 

www.zinko.net/sports/admin

www.zinko.net/sports/catalog

 

btw, which is the index page that visitors will see? Catalog?

 

Where ecatly do I need to edit to install the cart?

well the way i set mine up to start was copy to admin folder into the catalog folder then upload the catalog folder then you can use the default settings in the install

athwyna,

 

I was in the same confused boat just a few hours ago. But I found this site: http://www.oscdox.com

 

I downloaded version 2.2 from their site and also printed their complete 47 page documentation guide (which is OUTSTANDING!!!)

 

Now I'm up and running and working on my customizations and configurations.

 

Trust me, if I can do it ANYONE can. I'm astounded by how much work is still involved in having a complete and working product though...

 

Good luck, and THANK YOU to everyone who has worked so hard on this project!

Hi Qwack,

 

I followed the link u gave and install 2.2 now. Followed the instructions there and it says installation complete.

 

But alas, when I click either Catalog or Admin I get errors :)

 

This is one of them, any ideas what's wrong?

 

Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in /home/athwyna/www/sports/catalog/includes/functions/whos_online.php on line 42

I'm not sure to be honest. PHP is still much like Chinese to me.

 

Maybe another, more experienced OSCommerce-Head could give us a pointer on that?

 

I didn't experience any errors like that though.
