2) Now, navigate to the “E-commerce” section and simply click on the “osCommerce” link.

4) Now its time to go through a multi-step procedure in order to define the installation location:

* Select your domain from the drop-down menu on which you want to install osCommerce.
* Enter the name of the directory where you wish osCommerce to be installed.

Remember that never add dashes in the “install in directory” field. Enter a simple phrase of the new folder or else every time the installation will fail.

* Re-check the information you have entered in the above fields. If you wish you customers to access your e-commerce site using “http://domain.com” then leave the “Install in Directory” field blank. Or if you already have an existing website, you want to enter a given directory name in that field. Suppose, if you decide to use “store” as the directory name, customers would access your osCommerce online store by visiting “http://domain.com/store”.

5) After entering the required information for the installation destination, enter a user name and password for your osCommerce administrative area.
