1) Since my computer runs windows 98 and my
hosting company runs Linux / apache. Whats they best way to develop a site
local to my machine and when i'm happy with it upload it to the hosting
company?
The easiest way I've found to do this is to make
a demo cart a bugger around with it. Once you figure things out make a
real one.
2) Is there a version of IC 4.6.1 available for
the windows platform.
Wouldn't try it if there was.
3) With IC, If my understanding is correct you
can links it to various databases, ie MYSQL etc.., What the best one (open
source if available ) to use considering the fact that all my attempts of
setting up IC on the hosting server are always blocked by permission / access
right problems.
I like MySQL the best. But if you virtual
hosting on sombody elses machine then having a remote database that it has to
connect to I think you leaving your self up for some security problems.
If I were you I'd just find somebody on the list
or ask akopia to host your shopping cart. You should be able to do most
everyting through the web interface and not have to worry about the backend
stuff so much. I'd only suggest to people to use Interchange if they
have there own server, there are just alot of problems when you try to host
that type of application on somebody elses server.
