Setup a go-daddy.com™ "Windows™" Server Package to Work With EcommPro6

1. Make sure that your go-daddy account is Windows based account and not a Unix or Linux account.

   • If it is a Unix or Linux account simply email your go-daddy support and ask them to move your account to a Windows package. They will do it.

2. First you must update your EcommPro shopping cart to work with go-daddy or any other server that requires the db folder to be inside of the wwwroot.

3. We have included a .bat (Batch) file that will update the cart system files for use with godaddy.

   • Simply double click the file C:\Ecomm\EcommProV65\godaddy updates\create-godaddy.bat

   • Then jump to step #8 below. Or to copy the files manually continue to step 4. (use the batch file)

4. Open the folder "C:\Ecomm\EcommProV65\godaddy updates"

   

5. Copy the objConn_open.inc AND the scart folder and paste them in the C:\Ecomm\EcomProV65\wwwroot\ folder.

6. When asked to overwrite existing files choose Yes to All.

8. Okay, now your cart is updated and all necessary files are inside the C:\Ecomm\EcomProV65\wwwroot\ folder.
