  3. Log into the admin like ... www.yourWebsite.com/dealeradmin & click the "Main Configuration" link and edit the first 2 text fileds with your information and click update

You're done ... Too easy! Now click at the top of your admin page, the link that says "View Website".

If you receive "operation must use an updateable query", just set the permissions on your database folder and dealerimages folder and you are ready to go!

If you are unsure of the path to your database, you can either ask your web host or upload the file "path.asp" to your ROOT folder. Browse to your website like this ... www.yoursitename/path.asp - Copy the path shown and paste it in your config.asp page and then add the rest of your path like this:
Example: If the path shown is C:\domain\ezauto
then you would add like this:

config.asp

Test Your Database Read/Write permissions

At this point, you should have all the DealerFiles copied to your web server, and the sample Access database should be in a read/write folder. Now you need to ensure that your connection string and database permissions are correct so that you're able to connect to your database, and read and write to it. This is done using a utility available from the Admin area of the software.

Software Configuration

You should now be able to connect to the database and write to it. Click on the Main Configuration link and review each setting carefully. At a minimum, you must change the two settings indicated below before you can start testing your software.

 

That's it for setting up the demo software, we hope that you enjoy it and see how our classifieds software can work for you.
