Upload Your Web Site

Once your Web Server and Database have been setup it's time to publish/upload your web pages.

There are two options for using EcommPro Shopping Cart.

1. With Our Home Page

   • You do not yet have a home page built in your web and want to use the one provided.

   • Copy all of the files inside the wwwroot including the sub folder scart and all of it's contents to your web site folder. This will give you a complete web site.

2. With Your Home Page

   • You do have a home page and all you want to do is add the shopping cart.

   • Copy only the scart folder and all of it's contents to your web site folder.

• e.g. possibly C:\Documents and Settings\YourProfile\My Documents\My Webs\WebSite01

• Those are the two options for using the cart. With or without our home page.
