Need basic install assist

Recommended Posts

I am very new(and feeling stupid now). I just opened a go daddy account. Economy Hosting - Linux - Monthly. In order to keep cost down, they recommended osCommerce to set up a web page and get my first client on the web to sell his product. The problem is the basic set up. I have downloaded the software and even the smartftp program. I believe that I did copy and paste the file correctly in order to change the permissions to 777. That said, now what? All I want to do is get to the point of designing and publishing to the web before he cancels the contract! I cannot afford the wst or the qsc options. I do not know where to, or how to install osCommerce in order to begin designing. I have CorelDraw12 and am very good at it from a design standpoint. This will be my first website. I have spent over four nights non stop(sleepless) trying to teach myself how to do this. Can anyone direct me to the proper channels in hopes to get this simple one page website on the internet? Thank you whomever you are!!!!Basic install problem

I am not sure what you are asking. You need to stand up the store before you can redesign it.

The basic procdures should be clear.

create a database

point your browser at the website

and go

sorry if this is not a help

Thank you. I went to Go Daddy and they did install it after I posted. Now I just need to go to the area to design. I did go to the fun test site and almost thought I was purchasing a dvd!! Great fun. I am now active but need to personalize my page for my store. Thank you again for taking the time to help. I will do the same for anyone in my position in the near future. Great community! Can you direct me to the steps to design? I am a designer so this should be mostly plug and play. I am seeking a single page for now. I do have a five page limit, but my mind is mush after trying to figure this all out from scratch.
