INSTALLATION HELP!!


Recommended Posts

Hi ok well Ive been trying to install prestashop now for DAYS! I'm using hosting services with ipage and am stuck on step two of the installation process. In red it says i need to allow permission for the following:
# /tools/smarty/compile
# /tools/smarty/cache
Yet when I look for these files in my file manager of ipage there no where to be found as if they were not even included in the download. PPPLLEEAASSEE HEEEELLPP!!!!!!!! You might be able to see my problems attached in the thumbnail below if it worked.

I'm strugling to install prestashop, i've got basic computer skills.

I upload prestashop on my computer, unzip it, upload it on filezilla, upload it on my php admin, the files are on my hosting, which is ipage but now when i write the URL of the website and add /install nothing happen

Could somebody help me and tell me what is wrong?

Thank you for the answers

What are you uploading to php myadmin, I also use Ipage the only thing you need to do there is create a database.

Go to the control panel click on MySQL Database and create a database with a name of your choice.

Also Ipage does not seem to like the localhost as the database server so use the actual server name - yourdomain.ipagemysql.com

 

When you upload the files with filezilla are you uploading the files inside the unzipped folder or the folder itself.

If you want prestashop to be the main domain just upload the files inside the unzipped folder, if you want prestashop to be a sub domain you can create a folder named shop and upload the files to that folder or just upload the prestashop folder.

If you upload just the files the url will be www.yourdomain.com/install, if you create a sub domain folder named shop the the url will be www.yourdomain.com/shop/install if you upload the prestashop folder the url will be www.yourdomain.com/prestashop/install.

 

I hope this gives you a better idea of the steps needed to install Prestashop.
