[ic] Newbie question

PUT DOWN YOUR MOUSE AND STEP AWAY FROM THE MACHINE
Just kidding --

FYI -- I learned the hard way -- to get questions answered here -- 
read the docs first
search the archives to see if your question has been answered already
(most of them have) 
then come here with specific questions, include every detail you can
come up with for the best response and answer  

We were using IC for about 3 weeks found a bug and posted our problem
--- Man was I surprised when Mike and Sonny called my shop after some
posts we made (Mike created most of Interchange)  was like Bill Gates
calling up to explain the blue screen in windows (well not quite)

I never really found a "guide" just start poking around and it will
begin to fall into place.  My partner does all of the programming so I
can't answer beans really, but I understand how it works, and I make
some changes here and there. (when hes not looking) -- I tend to break
it :)

Best thing I can say is start with the demo, use the UI, and go from
there.  You will learn what the UI can do, and what needs to be done in
the config files and so on.


Good Luck -- your gonna need it

Hi everyone,

I've just installed Interchange 4.8 on my RedHat server, and of course,
I'm lost.

Where do I find a guide on setting up my store? There are lots of docs
on the interchange site, and most of them seem to be assuming that I
want to begin adding new functionality to the source right away, which
sounds a bit ambitious to me right now. I'd like to start using the
system for an online store, and I'm having difficulty seperating the
relevant tutuorials from the non-relevant. Can anyone point me in the
right direction?

I was hoping that this would "just work" after install, but it appears
that I can't add new items to the store at all. Not sure why. Every time
I click on the "Item Editor" link, I see the same info I entered before.
I hit "OK" and I'm returned to the Items page, no item there. How can I
check for errors in this process?

Are there lots of config files to edit before a new catalog install is
useable for real-world operations? The other possibility is that I've
botched the install. I don't think so, tables were created in MySQL, but
new items aren't added when I use the Item Editor as noted above. It's a
strange new world for me...

Looks like I've got tons of reading to do. Any pointers on where to
start would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Troy
