lousyburger Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Hi all! I would like to try out oscommerce before getting a domain. It is because i like to fix all the stuff first to see if im going to use oscommerce or a already fixed web shop. i would like to see how much work it is to make it roll the way I want it to roll. well im on a windows xp right now and wonder if i can build an environment witch can harbor oscommerce so i can play with it like im both a shopper and admin. I would also like to be able to migrate all my settings and design to the permanent environment when i get a web domain so all my design and so on is not lost, Is this possible? Thanks for all help! ^_^ /Johannes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
