 Ver 5.0 install problems
I'm going round and round with this. I finally got all the permissions set (and had to change the first line of a handful of .cgi and .pl files). But now when I go to the store's main page, I'm told it isn't an executable. http://www.ogs.org/cgi-bin/store5/index.html
What have I done wrong? (Feeling really stupid right now...!)

You can't directly call .html files from within a cgi-bin, nor is that how you bring up your store...
Your store's URL is:
http://www.ogs.org/cgi-bin/store5/agora.cgi
If you can run .cgi scripts outside of the cgi-bin, install Agoracart outside of the cgi-bin, it is easier to set things up.
Within the cgi-bin you will need to turn on "self-serving images" and move your .css files outside of the cgi-bin and set up the very 1st settin in the "Store Design - CSS Editor" area of the manager.
HTH!

First, thank you for all the help you've given me to date. I think by now it is pretty obvious that I've never dealt with cgi-bin before. (Give me PHP, MySQL, and Visual Basic to convert data to MySQL and I know what I'm doing!)
Trusting your patience with another ultra-newbie question -- how do I install the program so that it is in www.ogs.org/store? I can set up a directory to act as cgi-bin, but it keeps installing the store in a subdirectory store5 (so I end up with www.ogs.org/store/store5)
Also -- and this is where my ignorance is really going to show -- if index.html doesn't call up the store, what function does it serve? I thought that /store/index.html is what people would use to reach the store.
I apologize for these really basic questions, but I am a volunteer webmaster who has spent a lot of years in database development and absolutely zero time in setting up anything dealing with cgi.
Thanks again for your help and your patience.

Upload the files to your public-html directory and run the install.
You can then rename the store5 directory to store.
HTH!

Well, I now have a store directory. But now when I go to www.ogs.org/store/protected/manager.cgi, I don't get a page, I get the code for the page. (Same for www.ogs.org/store/agora.cgi).
For something that is supposed to be easy, I'm sure having a hard time with this...

Not sure what was different this time, but I re-installed and now it works! Thank goodness!
Now if I could just get it to recognize the CSS. I moved both CSS files to the root directory and changed the level in the CSS manager to 1, but it still isn't seeing it. I looked at the code for the page and it is linking to the correct style sheet. Hmmm....

No... if you are not running the store in the cgi-bin, you do NOT need to move the CSS files.
Reset the Number of Levels to CSS file to "0".
HTH!

Argh! The stylesheets are in the same directory as the store and I've reset the level to 0 -- same thing. It looks right when I reveal the code, but it still isn't recognizing the CSS. Any suggestions?

Did you uninstall the store?
You might want to try a new install of the store.
Set up the "Primary/Core AgoraCart Settings - Set Up First!" area first.
Then go to the "Store Templates - Header/Footer" area and hit the "Update Template Settings" button.
Next, go to the "Store Design - Misc Settings" and set things up.
Finally, go to the "Store Design - CSS Editor" and just hit the "submit" button.
Let me know how it goes.

Great minds think alike -- I was doing a fresh installation while you were posting your last message 
I toasted the old installation and re-installed it in the cgi-bin directory, thinking maybe it would behave better there. I did the steps you suggested in your last post. The manager looks great now (I see images I didn't see before). However, the site itself is still with no CSS and no images. If I'm understanding things correctly, I need to move the html subdirectory out of the cgi-bin directory. Then set the CSS level to 2 and change the path for the images. Correct?

No, only move the css files, nothing else.

Did that and set the level to 2 (since agora.cgi is in /cgi-bin/store5 and the CSS files are in the root directory.) Still nothing.
Permissions issue, perhaps?
