Transferring your osCommerce application INCLUDES copying your files and database and modifying the two configure.php files in includes/ and ADMIN/includes/ folders to work with the new server settings.

The most IMPORTANT settings which should be MODIFIED in includes/configure.php are:

• HTTP_SERVER - you should set this to your domain name, e.g. http://yourdomain.com:
  
  define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://yourdomain.com');
  
  
• DIR_FS_CATALOG - the absolute path to your shop, e.g. /home/user/public_html/shop/:
  
  define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/home/user/public_html/shop');
  
  
• DB_SERVER - you should set this to localhost:
  
  define('DB_SERVER', 'localhost');
  
  
• DB_SERVER_USERNAME - the username with privileges to access the shop database:
  
  define('DB_SERVER_USERNAME', 'user_osc1');
  
  
• DB_SERVER_PASSWORD - the password for accessing the database:
  
  define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', 'oscpassword');
  
  
• DB_DATABASE - the shop database:
  
  define('DB_DATABASE', 'user_osc1');
  
  
• In admin/includes/configure.php, ALONG with the settings above, you should also modify:
• DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT - the absolute path to your shop, e.g. /home/user/public_html/shop/:
  
  define('DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT', '/home/user/public_html/shop/');
  
  
• DIR_FS_ADMIN - the absolute path to the admin folder, e.g. /home/user/public_html/shop/admin/:
  
  define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', '/home/user/public_html/shop/admin/');
