[AquarianDerek]

I attempted to install oscommerce into my Cpanel / File Manager using Fantastic De Luxe and I think I accidently deleted to data base? or directory? where it is suppose to go (public_htp) ??? MAYBE... I ready don't know what to do. This is my first time using oscommerce. Please help.

 

Here is a screen shot of my File Manager.

 

 

I tried and it failed once and now I am trying to use Fantastico De Luxe AGAIN and I am get this message:

 

 

Do I need to re-install the deleted data base? or directory? (public_htp) ??? IDK what to do next .. Please help me.

 

Thank you

Derek,

 

Download osCommerce v2.3.1 from this website ( http://www.oscommerce.com/solutions/downloads ), unzip it and then FTP it to your hosting account. Log into your hosting account and create a blank database. Note the database name, username and password.

 

Then run the osCommerce installation script by browsing to your domain name and the installer ( www.yourdomain.com/install/ )

 

Enter the information requested to complete the installation.

Thank you, I'll try that now.

I'm sorry Chris. I have it downloaded and unzipped but IDK how I FTP it to my hosting account.

Derek,

 

You can use your hosting account file manager to upload the unzipped files to the public_html directory if you wish.

 

Or, download and use an FTP client like Filezilla or CuteFTP

yeah... the public_html directory folder is what I accidently deleted.

I had a similar problem using Fantastico to install to public_html, and I ended up deleting that directory

 

Since I was unable to create a new public_html directory, the solution I found was to have my host terminate the account and reopen a new one

 

Maybe your host has another solution....
