catoumi Posted April 28, 2004 Posted April 28, 2004 Probably will make a lot of you smile but i am a total in this Apache, Php and oscommerce but very eager to learn. I have just downloaded EasyPhp1.7 which contains: easyphp 1.7 : apache 1.3.27 - php 4.3.3 - mysql 4.0.15 - phpmyadmin 2.5.3 and I have also downloaded oscommerce. Can anyone possibly tell me where do i go from here (the gentle way if possible) in order to get started? I am told that i can have this Apache on my local machine without uploading to my ISP? Which files to install? where? etc MANY MANY THANKS for your help :( Cat
bluepony Posted April 28, 2004 Posted April 28, 2004 1. Install EasyPhp. 2. Start EasyPhp and MYSql. 3. Run phpmyAdmin and create a database in MYSQL named catalog. 4. Under the EazyPHP folder you'll see a "www" folder. Unzip OSCommerce into that www folder. 5. Launch your browser and go to http://localhost/catalog/install This will start the OSCommerce installation. I'd rather be flying!
bluepony Posted April 28, 2004 Posted April 28, 2004 Ooops. One other thing. In step #3 you'll also need to create a user in MYSQL with access rights to the database you created. The OSC installation will need that user name and password later on. I'd rather be flying!
