*Local Install*

Hi,
I have a similar question. I installed the latest Zen-Cart on my local PC with XAMPP. I went through the install process last week and everything runs. When I go to this URL, the stores appears:

http://localhost/zencart/files/

My question is, what URL do I go to to administer and customize the store. I think I did this when I installed it last week, but I forgot and I don't see it explained in any docs. I know its a dumb question. Can you help?

I do plan to order the Zen Cart book though, but I just need to play with zen-cart locally to get a feel for its features.
Thanks in advance,
Steve

Re: *Local Install*

DrByte I have tried to set up a test site using WampServer on my home computer. I have followed every detail it states and then some. When I go to my browser an put in http://localhost it does not bring anything up what so ever. It just set there doing nothing. Is Localhost all you put into your browser if not I'm doing something wrong. How do I set this up. Thank you

You should see something, even if it is an error message saying it cannot connect to the server.

Make sure that the server is actually working - that Apache and MySQL are running.
