clayartisan Posted February 12, 2005 Posted February 12, 2005 I'm pretty new and am still feeling my way around managing my own domain site. The purpose of my site is for an online store, and the one of the first things I did was install osCommerce through the Control Panel scripts. After working (struggling) with it for a few days (and learning a lot), I decided to also try Zencart. Zen Cart works much better for me and is what I'll be using. By the time I decided to try Zen Cart, I had tried to adjust several things in osCommerce and kind of "broke" it (of course). My question is this: can I just delete the files using Cpanel's file manager or FTP manager? This would be after I delete the database associated with it from MyPHPAdmin (I started a new db from scratch for Zen Cart). I ask this because the orginal script installation was done on the server, so I'm not sure if I'd be installing something important. Second question: If I do delete the osCommerce directory, and somewhere down the road what to use it again, will I be able to start it up anew by using the CPanel Script install again? Thanks for any help! Quote
TCH-Don Posted February 12, 2005 Posted February 12, 2005 If you installed it from cpanel > scripts > osCommerce then go back there and look for an uninstall link for that script below, you can select the current one to uninstall in drop down menu. If you don't see it, then yes, delete the folder in filmanager and the database in phpmysql. You can always install another osCommerce in cpanel later. Before you do this, you may want to save the database incase you want to use it later. Goto cpanel > backup look for download a database click on the name of the database and save it on your computer. Quote
