Syncronizing local Database

[nssdcg]

Can Zen Cart be connected / syncronized to a local database so the inventory actualices either the purchase was made through the web or directly in the shop?

There is no built-in facility for that at the present time.
If you have a handle on PHP and MySQL and database interaction etc, you could code something that could lend itself to such a purpose; however, there are a lot of issues involved in treating an online system as a mere extension to a POS system.

Search for MySQL replication in google, you'll find what you're looking for, a great function of MySQL, easy to setup, but you need to have access to the my.cnf file on both sides wich most hosts don't let you touch unless you have a dedicated server.

Hope this helps

Hi,

I'd like to run an additional ZC installation at a separate site in case the main site goes down.

Does anyone has info on how to achieve that setup?

I've a dedicated Linux server at each site and a good sysadmin experience.

Thanks.
