If you have followed the section Getting Started - Building Your First SalesCart Shopping Cart on page , you will have a working shopping cart system already running on your local computer. If you are an Internet Service Provider (ISP), Web Presence Provider (WPP), or if you operate your own server, then your working shopping cart is finished and the knowledge you have obtained can be easily transferred to your working Web server. However, if you are a business that does not maintain your own presence, you may need to make final modifications to your shopping cart website to accommodate policies and procedures of your ISP before publishing.
The single most important thing you will need to do is to contact your ISP or server administrator and have them follow these few simple administrative details that are necessary anytime you have any kind of script-based "writing" to an Access Database on a web server. Specifically, your server administrator will have to change the default permissions of the IUSR account on the /fpdb folder of your live shopping cart website and the virtual directory permissions for the /fpdb folder. Unless the IUSR has Change (RWXD) permission, customers will not be able to "ADD" items to the shop database and thus to your shopping cart and will get an error. However, if the ISP changes the virtual server permissions on the /fpdb folder from the default of execute ONLY, anonymous users will be able to download your order database.
