Eric and darkwizard, thank you for your replies. I'm just not sure how to setup the variables correctly.

// define our webserver variables
// FS = Filesystem (physical)
// WS = Webserver (virtual)
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://exchange');
define('DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT', $DOCUMENT_ROOT . '/'); // where your pages are located on the server.. needed to delete images.. (eg, /usr/local/apache/htdocs)
define('DIR_FS_LOGS', '/usr/local/apache/logs/');
define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/admin/');
define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/catalog/');
define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT . DIR_WS_CATALOG);

define('STORE_NAME', 'The Exchange Project');
define('STORE_COUNTRY', 81); // Germany is 81, USA is 223

define('EXIT_AFTER_REDIRECT', 1); // if enabled, the parse time will not store its time after the header(location) redirect - used with tep_tep_exit();
define('STORE_PAGE_PARSE_TIME', 0); // store the time it takes to parse the page
define('STORE_PAGE_PARSE_TIME_LOG', DIR_FS_LOGS . 'exchange/parse_time_log');

define('STORE_PARSE_DATE_TIME_FORMAT', '%d/%m/%Y %H:%M:%S');
if (STORE_PAGE_PARSE_TIME == '1') {
$parse_start_time = microtime();
}
define('STORE_DB_TRANSACTIONS', 0);

// define the filenames used in the project

// define our database connection
define('DB_SERVER', $HTTP_ENV_VARS['HOSTNAME']);
define('DB_SERVER_USERNAME', 'mysql');
define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', '');
define('DB_DATABASE', 'catalog');
define('USE_PCONNECT', 1);
What other than the variables listed above do I need to edit? Thanks for any help that you guys can provide.

I just got it installed and I think the critical things you need to change are in the following:

// define our database connection
define('DB_SERVER', $HTTP_ENV_VARS['HOSTNAME']);
-change ['HOSTNAME'] to ['LOCALHOST']

define('DB_SERVER_USERNAME', 'mysql');
-change 'mysql' to your login name

define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', '');
-put a valid password between the ''

define('DB_DATABASE', 'catalog');
-put the correct database name usually yourdomain_catalog

What I'm trying to figure out is how I can change the text that shows up on the default.php If anyone can help with this one I would be very grateful.

[eric418]

what part exactly you want to change?
some common files you might want to change.

includes/header.php
includes/footer.php
includes/application_top.php
includes/application_bottom.php
includes/column_right.php
includes/column_left.php
includes/languages/english.php
includes/languages/english/default.php

Maybe I just missed something really simple but I wanted to change the following that's defaulted.
