chester122 Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 Hi everyone! I have finally decided that I will use OScommerce as the basis of my site, although I am having some problems. I have managed to set up apache and I have copied over the catalog folder. I can then start the installation routine (I have edited php.ini for register globals) but it asks me for a set of database information. I have not yet defined my product database and was wondering if one is included with the OScommerce download so tghat I could explore the system before implementing my own. I am running Mac OS X.3 if that affects anything. Many Thanks Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Evans Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 If you have mysql setup correctly and you enter the username / password of a user with create database permussions then the installer will create a database for you., You could also use phpmyadmin which you will find by doing a google search :) Mark Evans osCommerce Monkey & Lead Guitarist for "Sparky + the Monkeys" (Album on sale in all good record shops) --------------------------------------- Software is like sex: It's better when it's free.

oog Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 Adam, I am doing the same as you, thopugh I am a bit behind in what Ive done so far. Do you or anyone else know if there is 'best practice' doc re setting up oscommerce / php etc . My needs are rather simple, I am (trying) to setup an online shop so my sister can sell clothes that she has made. Have the domains/servers, everything else I am learning as I go.

chester122 Posted March 24, 2004 Author Share Posted March 24, 2004 Many thanks, I have solved the problem, it was that I had not setup and configured mysql. Many thanks for you help Sparky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
