peterr Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 Hi, Can you tell us what you want to do, or what you want a hand with ? I assume you are going to use osCommerce. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥Vger Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 I started with osCommerce, but quickly realised that building/rebuilding/redesigning an osCommerce site online is a time consuming thing. Far better to install a server on your own computer, install osCommerce to that, make your changes (much quicker) and then upload when ready to go. You'll need the following:- 1. PHP installed on your computer. 2. PHPMyAdmin installed. 3. MySQL installed 4. A web server installed. My recommendation, especially as you're new to this is not to install Apache but to install Xitami, by imatix.com, (works the same but is a much smaller download and easier to install). You then download and unzip oscommerce to c:\xitami\htdocs\yourfolderhere, and access it via http://localhost/yourfoldername Have fun. I did.
