Copy the oscommerce directory to your web server htdocs directory and open the location with >your browser. Setup will automatically launch and guide you through the installation and configuration of your new online store.

I copied the said folder into htdocs, in my browser I go to localhost which displays the index.html in the htdocs folder already (just says "it works!"). I do not see the setup launch?

I installed PHP 5, but not sure if I done it right, I just used the MSI installer.

Delete the index.html in that folder and you've done. This answer presume that all the configuration are all right.

  • I now just get the directory list. – user985351 Oct 08 '11 at 13:19
  • Have you a index.php file in that folder (you must have)? If you have and apache does not load it automatically, you have an apache configuration problem(s). – Aurelio De Rosa Oct 08 '11 at 13:22
  • C:\Program Files (x86)\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\oscommerce\index.php – user985351 Oct 08 '11 at 13:24
  • Well. As I said in my answer, to achieve your goal, you had to delete the index.html (so the answer is right). That said, it has not been working because you have some apache configuration problem(s). – Aurelio De Rosa Oct 08 '11 at 13:28
  • I figured I haven't configured this file: httpd.conf - but i cannot find this dll php5apache2_2.dll. – user985351 Oct 08 '11 at 13:43
  • I found the .dll by downloading the thread safe PHP .zip, followed this tutorial to set up the conf file... still doesn't work right. – user985351 Oct 08 '11 at 13:52
  • If you don't know how to setup a local server, i suggest you to install WAMP or LAMP (depending on what operating system you are running). – Aurelio De Rosa Oct 08 '11 at 13:54
