If you want to set it up locally I suggest you buy the manual. You can pretty much get the answers for any problems you encounter from the forum. On top of this the author of the book can be emailed which helps in getting a more instant response.

Sorry I can't help with the dreamweaver side of things. I'm sure someone will be able to help you with this.

Good luck!

so how to you edit by just using xampp?

You will need to understand/apply Zen Cart's Template Overrides system in order to edit the relevant files to suit your design needs. You should also be familiar with Admin settings that control the look of your store. (e.g. side-boxes, columns)

You can refer to the tutorials/FAQ for more help.

To get you started with the template overrides, here are a few quick links:

• How do I find what files to edit?
