osCommerce (2.2 MS2)

An extremely powerful shopping cart program known the world over, we have made it extremely simple to install on your web site. No worries about uploading the proper files or directories, no figuring out permissions to make it function properly. All you have to do is have one MySQL database available and figure out what you want to name the directory you wish your online store to reside in. Two clicks in your cPanel and osCommerce is installed. After you install it you can download the files via FTP to your hard drive, customize for colors and logos according to instructions found at osCommerce Forums, and re-upload the files you changed via FTP. Some knowledge of PHP and MySQL database administration is strongly recommended.

More information about osCommerce can be found here: http://www.oscommerce.com/, http://www.oscdox.com/, and at the osCommerce support forums, http://forums.oscommerce.com/. These are good resources with information about modifying and customizing your installed osCommerce store.
