Upload To Server
NOTE:
- Ensure domain name, host account, SSL certificate and database have been created.
- Ensure the server and database meet requirements, see - https://github.com/CE-PhoenixCart/PhoenixCart#requirements
- Open FTP software e.g. FileZilla - connect to server using FTP Server Address, FTP Username and FTP Password - these are usually found in your server host account - ask your server host if you cannot find them.
- After connecting with Filezilla for example you will see this:
- In right window pane, this is the server, double click htdocs to open root folder/directory - dependent on server this might be named public_html or httpdocs
- NOTE: This procedure installs Phoenix Cart in the root folder/directory so the website home page will show as
yoursite.com/index.phpin the web browser. - Some users may wish to install in a sub-folder/directory so the website home page will show as
yoursite.com/yoursubdirectory/index.phpin the web browser. - If this is required a sub-folder/directory must be created in htdocs, named and opened before the next step.
- NOTE: This procedure installs Phoenix Cart in the root folder/directory so the website home page will show as
- In left window pane, this is your local computer, navigate to and open the unzipped/extracted Phoenix folder/directory.
- Select all folders and files in the unzipped PhoenixCart-master folder/directory. Ensure you have them all selected and have not missed any.
- Right click and click Upload to transfer all files from your computer to the server.
- FTP software will indicate progress - it can take several minutes to complete transfer.
When the FTP software indicates the upload is complete, proceed to the next step.
