Hello,
I am trying my first install and am using the snapshot from today. I was unable to install per the install guide using my web address/catalog/install

So, I did a manual install using PHPmyadmin and the tables and database are created fine, however when i try to access any of my pages i get the following error:
1046 - No Database Selected

select configuration_key as cfgKey, configuration_value as cfgValue from configuration

[TEP STOP]

I edited my configuration.php file to include my login name, database name, password, etc...

Also, I am a little confused. When I unzipped the package, I have an admin folder and a catalog folder, but they both have and additional folder below them: example: admim/admin and catalog/catalog. Is this correct?

Finally, my last question is, should the admin and catalog folders be installed on my web server under the root or under my public_html folder?

Sorry if these are dumb questions, but once I get it up and running, I should be good to go.

Thanks
Josh

[url]http://wiki.oscommerce.com/helpDocuments[/url] is the official support site of osCommerce.

[url]http://www.oscdox.com/guide/[/url] Also has a lot of great info, and between the two sites, you should have no problems installing.

andychoi,

You need to edit your database info in /catalog/admin/includes/configure.php

If you are unsure of what it should be, then copy and paste the info from your /catalog/includes/configure.php.

Be careful and only copy the database info located at the bottom of the files.
