Follow each step carefully and you shouldn't have a problem installing osc.

:confused: I have chmodded myself silly... I want permissions of 400...
No matter HOW I do it,(Including your php file) Powweb changes the permissions back to 600
I can't get it to 400... and thus, I have the little pink banner (Grrrr... pink is BAD!) :confused:

In your tutorial, for certain things it says use 'username.tld'. Is that correct? Aren't we able to use 'username' or 'website.tld'?

As in:

/www/u/username/htdocs
/www/w/e/website.tld/htdocs

[Jade Dragon]

Server root: /www/u/username/htdocs

Doc root: /www/w/e/website.tld/htdocs

what the difference is - I'm not sure, but for my end I always use the server root.

Ok, I am a true novice to all of this. I have installed the OsCommerce per the tutorial instructions above. None of it made sense to me:( It was a successful install, but what I don't understand is what I did or how that helps me with my website. I had started building my site using the PowerBuilder / Site Builder and that was easy. Then I was directed to install the OsCommerce because I wanted the shopping cart function etc. I am needing the shopping cart function with paypal etc on my site, but I don't understand how OsCommerce helped me do that...what am I missing? Is there something for the extreme beginner? And I do mean extreme! Thanks in advance!

Wow, great Tutorial! But I amnew at this and am now lost at the Securing OsCommerce page number 1. What does "FTP into the directory that you installed your OSCommerce installation. Delete the folder /install/ and all of it's files." mean and how do I do it? Thank You for your help.

Great tutorial! Thank you so much for the effort!

I'm new since August 05, and like any good newbie person, created a small problem for myself.

In attempting to follow the instructions on deleting the install folder at catalog/install, I'm afraid I was a little overzealous. I believe there was an INSTALL in osCommerce/INSTALL- a document perhaps?

I realized after the fact that I must have erred & gotten rid of it.

Can someone post a copy of it here so that I can add it back into a folder there? Thanks in advance.

The files in "osCommerce" directly should not be on your site. They are informational files. Only the catalog folder and its contents should be on the server.

You can download an osCommerce distribution from www.oscommerce.com
