osCommerce Installation by Sanjib Ahmad
Here are the essential steps for a standard osCommerce installation in 5 minutes on your localhost.
1. Unzip the file oscommerce-2.2ms2.zip.
2. Copy the 'catalog' folder and put it in your web server directory path.
For example in Unix with Apache:
/var/www/htdocs/catalog
For example in Windows with IIS:
C:Inetpubwwwrootcatalog
3. Keep your MySQL database username and password handy
4. Point your browser to: http://localhost/catalog/install/ and follow the on-screen instructions
5. Remember to change the directory and file permissions as recommended during the installation process.
That's it. Congratulations on your installation of osCommerce.
Additional osCommerce installation Notes
* If you change your mind later about any configuration setting, edit the catalog/includes/configure.php file. Some relevant fields in this file are:
define('HTTP_SERVER', '');
define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', '');
define('DB_SERVER_USERNAME', '');
define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', '');
define('DB_DATABASE', 'osCommerce');
* If you can't change file permissions in Windows XP make sure "Use simple file sharing (Recommended)" is checked off.
Problem symptom: Can't change file permission. Right-clicking a file and choosing properties does not show the security tab where read, write and modify permissions can be controlled.
Problem solution: Go to Windows Explorer. Click Tools->Folder Options. Select the View tab, and scroll down to find "Use simple file sharing (Recommended)" option. Make sure it is checked off.
