The store is already online... You just need to link to it...
If your store manager is at:
http://www.yourdomain.com/store/protected/manager.cgi
Then you store is at:
http://www.yourdomain.com/store/agora.cgi

If manager is at:
http://www.yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/store/protected/manager.cgi
Then the store is at:
http://www.yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/store/agora.cgi

It is all relative as to where the manager is located.

HTH!

I still cannot get to the store. I tried http://cardsandsuchbybonnie.com/store/agora.cgi since that is what it said on cPAddon cPanel::Ecommerce::AgoraCart. What am I doing wrong?

Log into the store manager and note the URL in your browser's address bar...
The store is relative to that URL... It is relative to the installation location...

What is the store URL in the Main AgoraCart Store Settings???
That is your store URL....
However, if you do not have 2 dots after the http:// then the store URL is breaking the "2 dot rule" and would need to have www. put at the beginning of the URL.
IE: You have: http://domain.com/path_to_store/agora.cgi
It would need to be more like:
http://www.domain.com/path_to_store/agora.cgi

See how I added the www. to the beginning?

HTH!

Post still needing help 
ok... I am starting to get a few things. How do I fix the http://cardsandsuchbybonnie.com/store/agora.cgi? http://cardsandsuchbybonnie.com is my domain. From my cpanel under agoracart this is what I have:
Manage:
v4.0K-4b agora
URL: http://cardsandsuchbybonnie.com/agora/ • [Rearrange]
Admin: http://cardsandsuchbybonnie.com/agora/protected/



Second: I found the index.html and I have made some changes and when I preview in the html editor everthing looks ok but when I try to go there by address it says there is an error and to use my back button and fix whatever I just did. What am I doing wrong now?

Last: The catagories on the left side of the screen... can these be moved to the middle of the page? Or can I link my catagories from text in the middle of the page?

I really appreciate all the help... I was about ready to forget the cart and go find another one

Well, you've had access to the store URL all along.... right there in the cpanel...
HOWEVER, DO NOT USE THE CPANEL TO MANAGE THE STORE...
You will need an FTP client like FIleZilla and a plain HTML editor to edit AgoraCart's files.
If you try to use the features in the cpanel, they can break the cart.

Your domain may be cardsandsuchbybonnie.com, but to properly access your site you should use:
http://www.cardsandsuchbybonnie.com

To change the store URL, just edit the store URL field in the Main AgoraCart Store Settings area of the manager.

As for your index/html issue...
NOt sure how you edited the file or how it was uploaded. But the file was done incorrectly.
I hope you made a backup of the file *before* you edited it... If so, restore the backup.
My first hunch on this would be that the file was not uploaded in ASCII to the server.
Always upload/download the files in ASCII mode and make a backup of the file *before* editing it.

You may want to consider upgrading to the current version of AgoraCart, v5.
v4.x is getting fairly old, now, and there are tremendous upgrades to v5 that make it much easier to work with.

HTH!
