Installation of X-Cart
Okay, I have the software! :turkey1: I have an FTP program (Fling). Now I really need help/direction on installation.
Btw, the software links are on my Qualiteam acct pg. Do I need to download them to my pc to unzip them? |

Re: Installation of X-Cart
Okay, downloading all of it now.
Some things have versions. Windows, Unix or Macos. Which one would I download? |

[/quote] Unix [/quote] Thanks, Reg. There appear to be 17 different versions (a million files). Do all of them need to be downloaded for the current version to function? |

Download everything. [/quote] Okay, I finally got everything downloaded and unzipped(I must be doing things asp-backwards as it took me an excessive amount of time ). I guess uploading is next. I don't know where to install what, etc. Btw, I have a blank page as my index page currently. Do I need to change that or can I leave it in place? |

Re: Installation of X-Cart
Cool. Let me see if I can remember. I chose the distributive I wanted (I went with the stable one, not the latest one).
Before I did the install, though, I bought my SSL certificate and got it all worked out and set up with the dedicated IP address and such on the server. I also created the MySQL database I would be using with X-Cart Gold beforehand (obviously). The Qualiteam pages give you all kinds of stuff to download and use, but I didn't even use 1/4 of it all. I used my choice of program, the help manuals, and I;ve tried to install Sales n' Stats with repeated failure. Otherwise, all of the pay modules and such I needed were already attached. Some of the material is just provided in case you need to use it, or reinstall it. Plus they give you every version in between the ancient one and the newest one, with all support. I followed these instructions and had no issues: This section explains how to install X-Cart using X-Cart Installation Wizard. It assumes you understand how to unpack TAR archives, what are file access permissions and how to change them. If you have problems with installation, please refer to X-Cart Manual, or contact us and we can do the installation for you. 1. Ensure that your server meets the minimum requirements. 2. Uncompress the module distribution and upload the files into the X-Cart directory on the server. On Unix-based server with terminal access to it, you can do it using the following command: gunzip < x-cart-X.X.tgz | tar -xvf - or tar -xzvf x-cart-X.X.tgz 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: > cd xcart > chmod 777 . > chmod 666 config.php > chmod 755 admin/spam.sh > chmod 755 payment/*.pl 4. Open in your browser X-Cart Installation Wizard at the following URL: http://www.yoursite.com/xcart_directory/install.php 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 .
