KhaLed S Posted March 17, 2003 Share Posted March 17, 2003 Hello Can someone direct me to where the installation instructions are? phpBB had a great installation document and user manual but i can't seem to find something equivalent with this osCommerce program. Even the installation and config files requires one to know some php and mySql to get things going from what i've seen so far, maybe i'm wrong. Thanks for your help in advance. -khaLed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disciple1 Posted March 17, 2003 Share Posted March 17, 2003 Once you have unzipped everything and ftp'd it to your site just point your browser to: http://[your site]/catalog/install The rest is automated for you. All that is not eternal is eternally useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhaLed S Posted March 17, 2003 Author Share Posted March 17, 2003 Might sound strange but my install.php file is missing theres no directory called install did i download the wrong package? Thanks for the help though i have this INSTALL file though, and it says The Exchange Project Preview Release 2.1 (xx/02/2001) QUICK INSTALLATION STEPS ------------------------ Once having downloaded the archive from the downloads page, follow these steps to get the online shop running: 1. Extract the files from within the package tar -xzf tep_catalog-pr2.1.tar.gz 2. This creates a directory called 'tep_catalog-pr2.1'. Enter this directory and copy the 'catalog' directory to your webroot directory of your webserver: cd tep_catalog-pr2.1 cp -R catalog /usr/local/apache/htdocs/ For this example, '/usr/local/apache/htdocs/' is used as the webroot root directory of apache. 3. Create the 'catalog' database and import the sample data: mysqladmin create catalog mysql catalog < ./mysql_catalog.sql To check if the tables have been successfully imported, you can list them by using mysqlshow: mysqlshow catalog 4. View the file catalog/includes/application_top.php and make necessary changes. Note: You need to enable the option REPAIR_BROKEN_CART for the application to run properly under PHP3. Now you can use your browser to view the pages which should be located at 'http://localhost/catalog/'. You can also use your browser, or a graphics viewer/editor, to view the database model which is located in the directory where you extracted the files 'tep_catalog-pr2.1/tep_database_model-pr2.1.gif'. not sure what to do next Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toolcrazy Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 Sounds like you downloaded tep2.1. Dump it and get OSC MS1 http://www.oscommerce.com/downloads/milestones 2.1 isn't supported anymore. Steve ------------------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toolcrazy Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 oh wow, thats funny, i downloaded 2.1 just a couple of days ago. thanks for keeping me posted! I think they need to pull the availability of 2.1. Nobody useses it anymore, well maybe 1 or 2. And you wouldn't find much support here anyway. Good Luck and welcome to OSC Steve ------------------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
