How to install EZ Shopper
STEP 1. To install EZ shopper you need
to use WinZip software and extract it to your hard drive e.g. C
drive is good starting place. Press the ‘Extract’ button and a
file open box will be display. Input the drive letter C:\ to
extract to C drive. All the files are extracted to a folder called
‘myshop’. It is suggested you extract the files in this order.
Extract EZ-Shopper installation file first followed by the
registered zip file for the version you wish to use. If you are
using commercial version, extract files I and II, if you are using
windows/Linux version, extract files III and IV.
After you extracted the files, you
must alter the file config.php so the database, user, password and
server settings match your requirements. Failure to amend this
file will mean that running the installer script file will be
halted. If you installing on Windows/LInux - follow the
instructions for creating MYSQL user and password, otherwise
execute the installer script 'installer.php'.
STEP 2. To run the EZ Shopper
installation file, execute the file ‘installer.php’ and follow the
step-by-step instructions. If you correctly adjusted the
config.php file, the installer script file should correctly
install to your computer.
STEP 3. To amend the payment options
for EZ Shopper, you must change the configuration parameters in
the script file ‘payment.php’. Change the parameters to suit your
needs.
Steps for creating a MYSQL
user name and password:-
First check the config.php file
and you may need to alter the settings of
the following parameters to those for your server/computer.
server = ""
database = ""
user = ""
password = ""
If you setting up using windows/linux I assume you know that
server be set
to server = "localhost".
Next you need to create database using mysql. I assume you have it
installed
on your computer.
Go to the mysql folder i assume yours is in C drive
c:\mysql
Type the command cd bin and look for the command mysql.exe
Type this and you be presented with a window called mysql console.
You need to create a mysql user and password account.
Type the following commands
c:\mysql\bin>mysql -u root followed by enter key.
You will see a welcome to mysql monitor message.
Next you need to grant yourself privileges.
Type the following command
I suggest u represent user with your username and password with a
suitable
password. The example below will grant you access privileges.
mysql> grant all privileges on *.* to user@localhost identified by
"password" with grant option;
After you type in the line above you will see query OK, 0 rows
affected
(0.04 sec)
Now you can create your database. In the mysql command prompt type
mysql> create database mydata; press return and you will see the
result.
query OK, 1 rows affected (0.00 sec)
Congratulations you created your mysql database. Now the
parameters can be
passed back to config.php
server = "localhost";
database = "mydata";
user = "user";
password = "password";
N.B Password and user are examples and
you should type the user and password you created when granting
privileges.
The user and password will be different if you created different
user and password. Go back to STEP 2 and continue installation of
EZ Shopper by executing the installation script 'installer.php'.
LOGGING IN AS THE
ADMINISTRATOR:-
Assuming you follow all of the above
steps correctly, you should be able to use EZ Shopper. To login in
as the administrator you must type admin in the username box and
999 in the password box. The first time you use EZ Shopper it will
have these default values set up for the administrator password.
You cannot alter the username 'admin' but can alter and update the
password for security reasons. Click OK button to log in. After
installation we suggest you alter the payment options file
payment.php and input your own payment options for setup of
Nochex, PayPal or 2Checkout or whatever payment agent you wish to
use.
