Step 3: Create a MySQL database

S-Cart requires a MySQL database to function properly. Follow these steps to create a new database:

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON s_cart.* TO 'newuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';

Note: Replace 'newuser' and 'password' with your desired user and password.

  1. Exit MySQL using the following command:
exit;

Step 4: Configure S-Cart

S-Cart needs to be configured before it can be used.

  1. Open a web browser and navigate to your server's IP address or domain name, followed by '/install' (eg. http://yourdomain.com/install).

  2. Follow the installation wizard to configure S-Cart.

  3. When prompted for database details, enter the database name, username, password, and host ('localhost').

  4. Complete the wizard by following the on-screen instructions.

Step 5: Remove installation directory

After completing the installation wizard, you should remove the installation directory for security reasons.
