Hummm. First of all if you don't know Linux very will you might have a =
hard time getting this thing completely running the way you want. I'm =
having a hell of a time, and the only way I'm trucking by is by =
hand-editing alot of files. If you can at least do that you should be =
ok.
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. =20
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.
