If you were trying to install from an rpm and the system is now showing it as installed.

When logged in as root #rpm -e (rpmname) I.E. oscommerce

If you did a manual install (not an rpm), just delete the folder and use phpmyadmin to drop the db.

To start again, download and unzip the MS2 (stable) relase.  If you install a snapshot, you will have A LOT of additional software editting ahead of you if you plan on adding any of the OSC contributions.  That's because most of the contrib's have been referenced to the stable release (MS2).

Manually copy the osc files into the osc ibay that you have created.  Then you can pick up by following one of the tutorials from that point (starting at the creation of the database section).  A good how-to was written by Craig Jensen.  You may substitute my suggestions for step 3 in that tutorial if you want your shop in a ibay.

You may wish to move the /admin folder OUT of the /catalog directory so that you can secure the admin function with an .htaccess file and perhaps avoid exploit vulnerabilities for the admin function.  You can also force SSL mode to encrypt the admin password over the internet.

If you get lost, you can also reference the osc doc wiki.  They have some pointers on which files to chmod and folders to delete, etc...

Enjoy!
