OK. Let me do some translation. Regic can correct me if I'm wrong.
Quote:1. Ensure that your server meets the minimum requirements.
If you're using TH, everything already meets the requirements.
Quote:2. Uncompress the module distribution and upload the files into the X-Cart
Unzip / uncompress the X-Cart version of your choice. I chose 4.0.19 because it was more stable than 4.1. Just unzip the thing into a folder on your hard drive.
Once it's unzipped, upload everything that came out of the distributive folder and just upload it all to the same directory on your site. I named mine "xcart." LOL.
Quote:3. Go to the X-Cart installation directory and change file access permissions.
On Unix-based server with terminal access to it you can do it using the
following commands:
If you're using TH, you can change the file permissions through the File Manager easily. Or, if you're using an FTP prgoram, try right-clicking on the items they ask you to change, and change the chmod to match what they say.
In TulipHosting's File Manager, simply checkmark the check box next to the file you want to change and look at the upper right hand part of the file manager area. There's a drop-down box that reads "permissions" and you can choose the number you want to change the file to from that list. Then hit "change."
Quote: > cd xcart
> chmod 777 .
> chmod 666 config.php
> chmod 755 admin/spam.sh
> chmod 755 payment/*.pl
Some of these may already be set correctly, anyway.
Quote:4. Open in your browser X-Cart Installation Wizard at the following URL:
http://www.yoursite.com/x...art_directory/install.php
Just change the yoursite.com to your site addy (obviously), and the "xcart_directory" to whatever you named the folder that you uploaded all of the unzipped stuff into. Then call up the addy in your browser.
You'll be asked to follow on-screen instructions to get the thing up and running. They will ask for all of the info about the MySQL server you've made (including host name, database name, etc.), and they will ask you other details that should be pretty easy to answer. When you're all done with the on-screen instructions, it will generate the site with test products (if you asked it to add example products).
Quote: Then follow the instructions provided by the Installation Wizard.
5. Finally you should setup proper permissions to protect files from writing.
You should also:
Modify install.php by setting $installation_auth_code variable if you
will be using it in the future. This will prevent from unauthorized access.
On Unix-based server with terminal access to it you can do it
using the following commands:
> chmod 644 config.php
> chmod 755 .
Changing the chmods at the end just keep people from screwing with some of the files. It makes them essentially read only, not executable.
All of that is Greek to me-----I understand nothing, zero, lol.
