I'm running some tests with Ubuntu Edgy and QuickCart. Only big problem was that images didnt show up at products, but after few hours work I figured it out, that it was permission problem, and yes, I chmodded 777 files in folders /files /db and /config .
Problem is somewhere else, because when I chown all files with apache user (www-data) everything works fine. I did new test with default files, and I didnt have to chmod anything.
So I have to ask... Is there really open files in folders to the whole world?
I think this is easiest way to setup QuickCart for Linux.... (example is for Ubuntu)
1. Install apache2, php and gd2
2. Extcract all files to /var/www (or different folder under /var/www)
