CyberStrong eShop Installation Instructions

Welcome to CyberStrong eShop the easy to use, easy to install shopping cart system for Windows NT servers. CyberStrong eShop is written using Microsoft Active Server technology.

To install CyberStrong eShop proceed as follows:

  • Create a sub folder off the root folder for your Web site. Microsoft FrontPage users may find it easier to create a separate "web" to store their eShop files.
  • Unpack the contents of this zip file into the folder you just created. The zip file contains a number of sub folders so be sure to check the box "Use sub folder names" (or the like) when you unpack.
  • Copy the file Global.asa to the root folder of your web.
  • Test your database. Your CyberStrong eShop comes with a utility to test your database connectivity.  To run the utility, launch the URL http://<your domain name>/<your eShop folder>/mTest.asp and follow the instructions contained therein.
  • Test your installation. The database comes pre-configured with a small data base of items for a fictitious café. To launch your CyberStrong eShop, load the following address into your browser: http://<your domain name>/<your eShop folder>/10Browse.asp. You should see a display of the items in the café. Move through the screens and place a test order. There are five screens in total. Note that your CyberStrong eShop software is shipped in "Demonstration Mode" to make initial testing and learning easier.
  • Configure your eShop software by launching the following URL: http://<your domain name>/<your eShop folder>/mLogin.asp where you will find further instructions on configuring your shopping cart software. Your temporary Login ID and password is cyberstrong which will be automatically entered for you until you change them in General Setup.
  • Link to your new shopping cart. When you are ready to go live with your shopping cart, set the General Setup parameter "Demonstration Mode" to "No". Create a secure link from your Web site to 10Browse.asp. If you are unsure as to how to secure your shopping cart, please contact your host provider.
