fusion Posted June 13, 2004 Share Posted June 13, 2004 Hello everyone, I would like to ask for your help regarding how to install osCommerce in Windows XP OS with Apache server. In my pc i have installed PHP, MySQL and Apache. All of them are working, but I just don't know how to install osCommerce. I have searched this forum and has had no luck. Most of the information are geared towards installing to the webserver. Why I want to do this is because I want to tweak and modify osCommerce locally first before I install to the webserver. If this question has been asked before, I apologize. Thanks to anyone who has the patience to explain this to me. Sincerely, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimwh Posted June 13, 2004 Share Posted June 13, 2004 You can do a search for EasyPHP and get some tips there, but basically you'll copy the extracted files out to your public directory and then create a database and navigate your broswer to the install.php page to get started. Make sure that you consult the Wiki documents and also the Knowledge Base for the installation process. Everything is in there, you just have to understand the logic flow and it'll all work. If you get stuck, use the search function (liberally) and if you don't find what you need post away. Someone will get back to you shortly. It's not like installing a regular Windoze application, but it's really not that hard. Have fun with it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pewe Posted June 13, 2004 Share Posted June 13, 2004 jimwh is correct, its not very hard. - In your Apache root directory create a new directory, (for example 'cart'). - Copy the contents of the unzipped OSC into that directory. - In Your MYSQL, create a database for your cart. - Open (in notepad or similar) the configure.php files in bothe the 'cart/includes' and 'cart/admin/includes' directories and alter the configuration settings. [Note: if you use the IP address for the location define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://192.168.0.2'); define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://192.168.0.2'); You will be able to use your web browser on any networked machine to open the cart.] For this define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/home/httpd/vhosts/XXX.com/httpdocs/cart/'); // absolute path required make sure you enter the windows convention for the directory, such as c:/apache root directory/cart not forgetting to leave the ' in place. Now go to http://192.168.0.2/cart/install and your away. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
