Magneto
by rupeshnarvekar1977 - 5/23/09 7:09 AM In reply to: Magento v/s Cre v/s Zencart by rupeshnarvekar1977Okay so I answer my question, myself quickly after doing a lot of research
1) Magneto is awesome and more or less out of the box
2) CRE is buggy and needs a lot of patches to get things right
3) Zencart ,a lot of modules made for oscommerce, wont work with Zencart )
Zencart

Definately Magento
by jballotti - 6/17/09 2:18 AM In reply to: Magento v/s Cre v/s Zencart by rupeshnarvekar1977You can view the evaluation I did several months ago at: http://ipicdg.com/EC/evaluation.html. Since Magento has gotten even better.
agree but the downside...
by iiswansongii - 7/1/09 10:12 AM In reply to: Definately Magento by jballottiI agree that magento looked like it had great features but i was unable to set it up in my current host 'readyhosting'. Also, in my attempt to find another host, those too could not handle magento. other than the expensive 'partners' that magento lists as host on their site, can you suggest another 'better' hosting company? i'm trying to find the best value.
Magento Web Hosting

Magento Store
by rupeshnarvekar1977 - 7/1/09 10:06 PM In reply to: agree but the downside... by iiswansongiiYes magento is really awesome, but a bit tricky to install.
I was able to install it successfully after a lot of tries. Check it out at http://www.123triad.us/store/
You don't need special servers or web hosting, as long as your hosting company can enable PDO and PDO MYSQL, you should be good

pdo extension issue
by iiswansongii - 7/2/09 4:11 AM In reply to: Magento Store by rupeshnarvekar1977that is where i am stuck i can't seem to find a server that has all the requirements. my current host doesn't support pdo and pdo extensions. it seems that there are so many hosting companies out there, i can't find one that has the most value. i'd like php but also asp. i'd like mysql databases . ugh! just a bit frustrating :/
Complete Magento Server Requirements
by rupeshnarvekar1977 - 7/3/09 8:15 AM In reply to: pdo extension issue by iiswansongiiRequired PHP extensions for Magento are:
+ PDO_MySQL
+ simplexml
+ mcrypt
+ hash
+ GD
+ DOM
+ iconv
+ SOAP (if Webservices API is to be used)
At 123triad site above, we had everything but PDO MySql,installed, we enabled it and recompiled.
in Addition make sure Safe_mode is off and Memory_limit is set to 32M or more
MySQL should be 4.1.20 or newer and has InnoDB storage engine.
Magento is developed based on PHP so unfortunately Windows based servers cant run them.
