    Well, I managed to get OSCommerce up on my site but for some reason the admin file in the catalog folder did not FTP across. I configured the other OSCommerce folders with the correct permissions, etc. and when I went to configure the admin folder it wasn't there! So I transferred it across again and it still did not appear.

    Is this a Wordpress issue? I can see the sample store just fine. I just can't get into the admin area.

    I have a sneaking suspicion that I know what's wrong here. I just tried to copy over the admin file again and it landed in the images folder. The file I need to change permissions on is the graphs folder that is supposed to be in the path: catalog/admin/images but it's not there. The admin folder gets copied into the images folder for some reason and does not have images/graphs folder?

    So I'm thinking that because I set up a sub-domain that maybe that's the problem? Would it be best to reinstall it at the root and forget about the sub-domain?

    So the reason I can't get to the admin page is because it doesn't exist for the path [shop.domain name]/catalog/admin. I'm really confused.

    I am feeling completely defeated! I have removed OSCommerce and FTP'd it back up at least 3 times now and I still get an error: Cannot connect to database! I don't know what I am doing wrong! I went into my hosting to the PHPMyAdmin panel to delete the database but it's not there. Don't know where to go from here..... :help:

    It seems that there were many problems here with the installation. After doing a clean install and configuration, all is working fine now. There seems to be some confusion regarding the .htaccess file, tho. The permissions are set properly yet I keep getting a message in the admin panel that it needs to be writable--but it already is. My hosting provider says that everything looks good and safe. On to customizing it!
