Aviator Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 I've read through some of the installation instructions and I have a few questions. We have a web site up and running but with no online purchasing.. We are ready to try the OS Commerce but I don't want to take my site down until I've had a chance to play with and get a store completely set up. OS Commerce can be automatically installed by Cpanel Do I have it install to a sub domain or do I let it create a directory to install to? Can I set this up without messing up my existing site? How do I access it once it's installed? Sorry about the novice questions. Thanks in advance for any help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance for any help Hi hi, you should be able to install OSC into a folder claaed catalog (providing you don't already have one you can access this folder at any time by going to www.yoursite.com/catalog/index.php only you will know its there (you could even password protect the folder to keep it safe to start) then once ready to go live, remove the password and create a subdomain for your store to direct to that folder so what you would have is something like www.yoursite.com/shop or http://shop.yoursite.com does that make sense? regards YT aka Keith there are 10 types of people who understand binary those that do, and those that don't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
