1) i have registered a domain name.
2) i have secured web hosting service
3) i transferred from DNS to my Name Servers
4) i downloaded Zen cart to my web page
5) i now need to customise this page....help
i gathered that i need to go to my File Manager folder , fine the zen cart folder and make the necessary changes as directed bty the tutorials. Problem is ... i cannot find a zen cart folder in my cpanel.
Ramesh...in you cpanel, open your file manager select home directory and look at the right of the screen.
You should see a file that says /home/ramesh (example) click on the + sign
Once you open that go down to the public html folder and click on the + sign
This opens the file to your cart. you can also go to the www file at the very bottom.
Chris,
i did as u said but there is no folder "home directory". Allow when i click on www all that come up on the is the right is stuff like copy, remove or delete this file
Ramesh, sorry to hear that. I went back to my cpanel to see exactly what I did and the steps I gave you are exactly the what is on my screen with the exception that instead of the right side it was actually on the left.
I don't use hostgator, so theirs may be set up a bit differently, although with other hosting I've had pretty much the same cpanel.
You are beyond the cpanel. You need to work directly on the files on your server through the ftp process. You will have to download the files you want to edit, edit them and then copy them over the originals. (Never hurts to make backups.) In fact, it's a good idea to have a copy ot the entire cart on your PC.
BTW, hostgator should tell you about this, all of my hosting clients get an email with these links as soon as their account is set up, Difference between megagator and one man shop, eh?
Now, don't you really wish you'd have hosted with someone who gives you personal attention?
