For osCommerce I use 2 iBays. One for the catalog, and a seperate password protected iBay one for the admin tool. It works fine that way. It requires some configuration of the admin tool iBay phpbasedir as follows;

Assuming the catalog is in an iBay named shop and the admin tool is in an iBay named shopadmin;

/sbin/e-smith/db accounts setprop shopadmin PHPBaseDir /home/e-smith/files/ibays/shopadmin/:/home/e-smith/files/ibays/shop/:/tmp
/sbin/e-smith/signal-event ibay-modify shopadmin
/sbin/e-smith/db accounts setprop shop PHPBaseDir /home/e-smith/files/ibays/shop/:/tmp
/sbin/e-smith/signal-event ibay-modify shop

Getting the configuration.php file settings is a bit tricky...

Woke up this morning and thought, lets help a friend who is starting a business. Now i need a little guidance in the right direction !!

Looked in de forums first to see what kind of shopping 'software' there is/was available and what kind of  experience was around.
Started experimenting with osCommerce. I've read about the 'big security' issue with the admininistrator part, so i decided to install the admin directory int shopadmin.
It went all fine untill.

In the shopadmin tool i received the following:
Catalog
Error: Catalog images directory does not exist: /shop/catalog/images/
Tools
Error: Backup directory does not exist. Please set this in configure.php.
The backup directory exists

Everywhere www:www has rw rights


The shopadmin/admin/includes/configure.php
  define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://<ipaddress>'); // eg, http://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers
  define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://<ipaddress>');

  define('ENABLE_SSL_CATALOG', 'true'); // secure webserver for catalog module

Create the images dir, create the backup dir.  Then pay attention to security in part by following instruction here (http://www.oscommerce.info/docs/english/e_post-installation.html).

chaloner's setup makes sense in helping secure Administration.  Read more about the setup and search oscommerce forum (http://forums.oscommerce.com/index.php?showforum=15).  If you are going to offer a live storefront to the world this is well worth it. Think security, I know from experience ;-)
