I'm a network administrator. The site will be hosted on my own server, the products i'm selling are quite profitable, they do very well on e-bay. I currently have a storefront, and it does well also, but it's a PITA to update and maintain because it's a bunch of basic html pages that I created in dreamweaver. I'm getting tired of fireing up dreamweaver everytime I want to make a little change and then having to update all the pages and re-upload the site. Just too many steps involved for something that could be so simple.
That being said.. I'm a network admin, not a webpage developer so a lot of this stuff isn't my forte' I rely heavily on install documentation and other users expierence. That's where oScommerce falls short, maybe just for my situation however. I run in a Windows 2003 server environment, IIS6, PHP5, mySql5, I also have direct access to my server I don't use FTP to transfer files. For the most part this makes things easier. But I appear to be in the extreme minority most people are using professional hosting services using apache, so alot of the instructions in most open source php/mysql programs are based on that fact. When you start asking questions about how to do something in a windows environment everyone draws a blank. if you're on osCommerce's support forums you'll notice I have 3~4 threads going right now with not much support being offered. my name is AtomicVette on there.
anyway. long story short. if you have any suggestions for my problem I'd appriciate any help.
