bozamic Posted April 25, 2004 Posted April 25, 2004 Hello. I have never created a website before. I have dabbled with HTML. How difficult will it be to learn how to use oscommerce?
DnJ Posted April 25, 2004 Posted April 25, 2004 Oscommerce is a great program. To get started you will need: The latest osc snapshotyou will also need to download and install mysql, php, and some sort of web server if you plan on working on this on your own computer. I use apache server - easy to configure and works great and is also used my a lot of isp's as well "One Of Life's Greatest Pleasures Is Doing What Others Say You Can't"
Guest Posted April 25, 2004 Posted April 25, 2004 load and practice with this: http://internetmaster.com/installtutorial/index.htm then read ALL THE DOCUMENTATION about osCommerce. get to know php via the php web site, mysql via the mysql web site.
ozcsys Posted April 25, 2004 Posted April 25, 2004 Hello. I have never created a website before. I have dabbled with HTML. How difficult will it be to learn how to use oscommerce? I have to disagree with DnJ I think if you are unfamilar with websites and php you should use the the stable version and not use the snapshots. Another thing to do is to just read through the forum postings. You will get a lot of good information just doing that and it wil keep you from posting the same question that was just answered yesterday. The Knowledge Base is a wonderful thing. Do you have a problem? Have you checked out Common Problems? There are many very useful osC Contributions Are you having trouble with a installed contribution? Have you checked out the support thread found Here BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP!!! You did backup, right??
bozamic Posted April 25, 2004 Author Posted April 25, 2004 THanks. I am trying to download Apache from the link Mibble provided. I got the service pak 1 but when I clicked on the Download Apache Button I just get a screen full of symbols. Is there something else I need first?
DnJ Posted April 25, 2004 Posted April 25, 2004 http://www.apache.org/ is the place to start for apache http://www.php.net/ is the place to start for php http://www.mysql.com/ is the place to start for mysql "One Of Life's Greatest Pleasures Is Doing What Others Say You Can't"
bozamic Posted April 25, 2004 Author Posted April 25, 2004 I was just looking at my website host location and it has the msql, php and apache. Am i good to go then? Or do I need it on my pc as well?
