Installation in local machine

Step 1: Check that your machine has installed Internet Information Server, Personal Web Server or any other Web Server supporting the execution of Active Server Pages (ASP) scripts. If you find a folder c:\InetPub, it is likely that you have the web server needed to run Comersus Shopping Cart.

Step 2: Copy comersus folder in c:\Inetpub\wwwRoot. The resulting folder structure should be the following:

Step 3: Open your browser and type the following URL: http://localhost/comersus. Press Enter. The Installation Wizard will appear to set up your store easily.

Note: If your c:\InetPub\comersus\database\ folder has write, read, and delete permissions disabled by default, you should enable them manually. You will find detailed instructions for this task in Comersus User's Guide.

Installation in remote hosting

Step 1: Check with your hosting service tech support that your website supports Active Server Pages (ASP) scripts.

Step 2: Connect to your remote server with an FTP program (you can download one from http://www.cuteftp.com if necessary), with the connection information provided by your hosting service.

Step 3: Copy comersus folder in your remote web server's root directory. If you find several remote folders when you connect, ask the hosting service tech support where the files are located (they are usually placed in the root, the /public folder, or the /wwwRoot folder).

Step 4: Ask your hosting service tech support to assign all permissions on the comersus/database folder and on the comersus/database/comersus.mdb file.

Step 5: Open your browser and type the following URL: http://www.yoursite.com/comersus. Press Enter. The Installation Wizard will appear to set up your store easily.

Note: You should replace www.yoursite.com with your website domain, for example www.smithbooks.com/comersus, www.jacksonllc.com/comersus, etc.
