Create a mysql DB
Login into your hosting control panel and create a database called ebookstore. You can use a different name for the ebookstore if you would like. Just keep the name in mind

Populate the MySql Tables
Log into myPHPadmin (inside of the admin area) and import the contents of
\sql\storetabels.txt into your database. MyPHPAdmin manages the database

Upload Your Files To Your WebServer
You now need to upload the contents of the folder called “files to upload” to your webserver. You can use any ftp program

Edit the configuration files
You need to edit 2 files that you have uploaded to your webserver, they are: -

Includes/configure.php
Admin/includes/configure.php

These lines in the file need to be edited so that the server knows how to connect to the website. Edit all the variables above the line "don't edit"

There will be a blank '' where you can place the variable. If it asks for username, put in your username etc.

Change Permissions
You can change the permissions using the file manager within your hosting control panel. You need to change the permissions (chmod) on the following files: -

Admin/backups – 777
Admin/images/graphs – 777
Admin/includes/graphs – 777
Download – 777
Pub – 777
Images – 777
Images/banners – 777
Stylesheet.css – 777

Password Protect Your Admin Folder
From within your hosting control panel you need to password protect your admin folder so that only you can access it.

Change your settings
Browse to http://yourdomainname.com/admin and click on Click here for admin, then click on every link on the left hand side and change the settings as required, check the settings on EVERY page, full instructions are detailed at the bottom of each page.

You will see an error when you click on Orders – this is because there are none, orders will appear here when you have sold items.

You will need to add the € symbol and the £ symbol on the currencies page

Upload your own Logo
To replace the default logo you need to create a logo of your own and save it as oscommerce.gif. You then need to upload the file to the images folder.

Making Money with Paypal Referrals
Paypal Will pay you for Paypal Referrals. If you refer a new customer, you are entitled to a percentage of the money that they send. You can find your affiliate link in your paypal account and add it into the store by modifying the line https://www.paypal.com/us/mrb/pal=4AP36DE6U547E to your own paypal referral link in the file \includes\boxes\paypal.php

Making Money with Amazon Referrals
Amazon will pay you a portion of the sales for a book if someone clicks on your affiliate link from your site to amazon and then goes on to buy a book on amazon. You can generate the affiliate link after you sign up for an free account on Amazon. To edit the amazon code to your own affiliate link, edit the link <iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=discplac-20&o=1&p
=8&l=as1&asins=0743224892&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&lc1=0000FF&bc1=0000
00&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="width:120px;height:240px;" scrolling="no"
marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0"></iframe>'
inside of \includes\boxes\amazon.php to the code generated

Make Money With Referrals to Other Sites
You can also refer new customers to other sites and make money when customers buy from the site that you referred to if you join an affiliate program for that site. There are programs on the web which will give you 40-50 percent of the sale price if you refer a customer to their site. You can add the affiliate banner and link in the Banner Manager Area of the Admin Area
