Patric Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 You also need an http server to run PrestaShop. You should install a software like WAMP, which includes Apache (web server), PHP and MySQL.Uninstall the previously installed PHP and MySQL versions.

Patric,Thanks for the guidance.I've uninstalled the PHP & MySQL.Stopped IIS from running.Installed WAMP and started the services.But now I'm not sure what to do next.Thanks.

Patric Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Copy the PrestaShop files in the C:\wamp\www folder or a C:\wamp\www\shop\ folder and launch the install with :http://localhost/install.phporhttp://localhost/shop/install.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveM Posted September 8, 2009 Author Share Posted September 8, 2009 Followed your directions and the install got to step 4.Entered the merchant admin info, clicked the "Next" button the progress bar displayed for a couple of seconds and then nothing.Repeated the install a couple more times and still got hung up at step 4.Very frustrating!
