      Chapter 12: How to Uninstall OpenCart

      The first step is always the hardest.

      We are here to break that rule and make it the easiest.

      This eBook is written for new users of the free E-Commerce platform OpenCart, which is an open-source project. The eBook will show you how to start from scratch with the platform and how to build your way up to a fully running online store.

      The beginning of the eBook is about the installation process of OpenCart. Then, we will move on to clearing the demonstration data from the standard installation. The rest of the eBook will be all about explaining each of the menus in your Administration panel, how they work and what they are used for.

      Chapter 1: How to Install OpenCart

      In the first chapter of this eBook, you will learn how to complete the installation of OpenCart from scratch.

      Before we begin, these are the server requirements you need to run a smooth OpenCart installation:

      ● Web Server (Apache suggested)

      ● PHP 5.3+(1.5.x at least 5.2+)

      ● Database (MySQLi suggested)

      Download OpenCart

      To begin the installation, you need to download the files from the official website of OpenCart.

      At the time of writing this (May 2016), the latest version of the platform is 2.2.0.0. You will notice that you can choose to download some of the previous versions of OpenCart.

      You will download the ZIP file. Unzip it and open the folder.

      From all the files you will see, the most important one is the upload folder. It contains all the important files that are used to upload OpenCart to a web server.

      By now, you should have an established web server and hosting. We have a post on the server requirements needed to run an OpenCart store without a hitch - you can view it here.

      Setting Up Your FTP Client

      We suggest using FileZilla. It’s one of the most popular FTP (FIle Transfer Protocol) Clients used to transfer files to web servers. You can use it to upload your OpenCart files to the server you have established. You can download the FileZilla client from here:

      Important Note: Some web servers do not have FTP support. If that is your case, use an alternative method to upload files (SSH, Online web hosting file manager, etc).

      After you install FileZilla on your computer, open the application and find the folder you unzipped with the OpenCart files.

      Input the details of the account you have configured after setting up your server and hosting. Input your Host (the URL of your host), Username and Password. Click Quickconnect.

      After you have logged in and connected to your host, you will see the root directory on the right - in our example, it’s called public_html. This is the folder where your OpenCart shop will be located.

      Important Note: Not everyone is installing OpenCart in their root, this is just our example.

      Uploading OpenCart

      The location of your store’s website varies based on whether you want the store to be seen on the main page, a sub-folder, a subdomain, etc. If you want to make OpenCart the main page, you will need to upload files to the root folder of the website.

      Open the public_html folder and create a new directory for your OpenCart installation. For example, our directory will be called /public_html/OpenCart22Test.

      Find the unzipped folder in the Local site field with the OpenCart files and open them. Click on the upload folder.

      These are
