Warning: Assigning a previously created MySQL database for use by osCommerce
will clear contents of all its tables.
The databases used by osCommerce will show among your MySQL databases as
Locked By osCommerce.
5. You can manage osCommerce databases with any MySQL GUI client or
the built-in phpMyAdmin control panel. For more information on MySQL
please refer to MySQL Support (on page 179) chapter of this manual.
6. Set permissions to the admin directory using the htProtect (on page 60)
utility which is integrated into WebShell File Manager. This is done to
restrict public access to osCommerce configuration.
Warning: When setting osCommerce on Winbox, the “admin” directory is protected by
default Parallels H-Sphere setting. Therefore, it‟s not a subject to Webshell
protection.To access this directory, user should enter his FTP login info.
7. Now, let‟s take a look at the osCommerce controls:

ON/OFF - enable/disable the resource. Switching off your osCommerce will
permanently remove all your osCommerce settings, databases, etc. So the next
time you enable it, you will have to configure it from scratch and you will be
charged the osCommerce setup fee.

EDIT - click the icon in case you somehow corrupted the templates and want to
get them fixed. Also, use it if you have just set your e-shop to use SSL
certificate. This option resets the config file using the current hosting settings
and restores the osCommerce files from the bundle.

UPDATE - click the icon to update osCommerce (on page 167) to the newest
version.

E-SHOP - click the icon to go directly to your on-line store.

ADMIN - click the icon to go to your osCommerce administrative panel.
8. Click the Apply link to change server configuration. Without it
osCommerce may not work.
