madmanc Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 Hi I am about to install and try Oscommerce 2.2 ms2 on my local machine (xp pro, iis) but my hosting comapny runs Apache! Will I have problems when I upload? What issues should i be aware of? Any other pointers would be welcome! Thanking you all in advance Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 Hi - when I first started I had exactly the same set-up as you. I have now moved to having a apache server on my local machine. The only reason that I have done this is because the search engine friendly URL's option only works on apache and I was finding it a pain in the arse not being able to use exactly the same database data. Apart from that I can't see there being any issue what so ever. In general though. in my opinion it is easier to have a consistant set up. Apache is pretty easy to install. Once you have done it once you can do it again. All the best Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmanc Posted March 6, 2004 Author Share Posted March 6, 2004 Thanks for the reply. I agree that it would be better to have consistency, but when I tried to uninstall IIS and install Apache I had loads of issues. One thing I would like clarified if possible, can you upload the oscommerce package to a hosting service under the default permissions?

Guest Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 Yeah just ftp-it you'll need to set some file permissions for certain folders but apart from that you shouldn't have any probs. If you do just post them in this forum and I'm sure , scrap that, I know someone will help you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
