LS, (<- thats latin for those who dont know)

 

We have a "packaged" webshop running on our server, but to be honest it is to limited and has to many problems (scripts that dont work), so a friend of mine told OSCOMMERCE would be the most unlimited way to create a webshop. However since i have no clew how to install OSCOMMERCE and a install.exe of setup.exe is missing from the zipfile, i would like to ask you all how i can get this to work.

The goal of this is to create a webshop which can be runned by our parttime workers, they can type and select images to add, to the webshop but dont know how php/mysql/html work. So it has to be very simple. So when i am sitting in the sun enjoying a nice cocktail i am not bothered with phonecalls of my workers i can't get this or that script to work.

 

Hope someone can help,

 

Best regards,

There are really only 2 answers for "how i can get this to work".

 

Dive in and figure it out yourself or hire a consultant.

 

osCommerce is a very easy product to deal with if you have any programming experience. If you don't it can be intimidating. If you're a non-programmer but want to learn -- dive it, it's a great learning experience. If you only care for the end results, hire a consultant. You'll have to make an investment -- either in time or money, your choice.

Can you say RTFM!

 

Read the flipping manual!

 

This is a PHP script files - there is no "EXE" file.

 

Unzip and setup the way you want - remove the "EXTRA" folder if not needed - then FTP the whole catalog folder to your server...

 

See the "INSTALL" text file in the package!!!

 

Or See: http://wiki.oscommerce.com/docsInstallNew

for a step by step installation.

 

Good Luck
