3. Select the domain
you wish to activate osCommerce for. |
4. Select a database for your

folder is called "install" and
can be found at www.yourdomain.com/catalog/install. Make sure you
use the "WebShell" program
accessed in your control panel or the file manager in osCommerce to delete
this file as soon as possible. |
