Go to your browser, type in the address to your store and then add /admin on the end.

it says connection was refused.

Did you install this or did you have someone else install it,

also try going into ftp and checking on the permissions on the admin folder

[ElitedgeElectronics]

what should the permission settings be set too?
i installed it myself on a 1&1 server. i don't know if that has anything to do with it. once i get to the admin stuff is it easy to set up shop? i have about 16,000 items to set up shop for.

Once you get into the admin Yes,
try setting it to 755 quick,

<< isnt gonna say anything about 1 & 1 other than do a search through here for them in your spare time

[ElitedgeElectronics]

is that your way of saying suck *** service?

Best to get a tool to populate the DB like ezpopulate or NaviCat as 16,000 will consume time just typing

have navicat but all this is new to me. i really don't even know where to begin. i just got a business license back in december(with tax id number). i have a whole saler lined up. i'm ready to get it all started just having trouble getting my head in the game because i don't know where to begin.
thanks for the advise on navicat and ezpopulate. of the two which would you say is better? i guess me being a newbie here i should be directing all my questions to the search button.

ezpopulate is more tuned to Zen Cart and limited.

NaviCat is powerful bit one needs to understand the DB structure first, then scripts/actions can be saved for the repetive things
