Hi
I downloaded the Boss Cart scripts as you suggested.
However I cannot find the mysql-dump . I have the upload folder

All I have is the mysql folder.

I am trying to load this onto my PC using the We'll Have More Soon.

I downloaded XAMPP and tried to run this. but Apache was not loaded because port 3022 was in use.

Where do I download the Bosscart software to. Is it in its own folder or with the XAMPP/htdocs folder please.

If on localhost where is the cpanel to be found.. if there is one.

Unfortunately not a lot of help for those wishing to try on localhost before uploading to server.
