Run the Software! 

Type in the address of the web that you've just created into a browser and 

you should get the home page of the shopping cart. If you get any errors, 

please check the path you typed (careful!) and the points above. If you 

installed IIS or PWS on your own machine, the address of the server will 

normally be  

http://localhost/

 , plus whatever your web is called. You 

could also try  

http://127.0.0.1/

Upgrading Your CactuShop 

4.1 Why 

Upgrade? 

From time to time, we bring out newer versions of the CactuShop software 

that include new features or redesigned pages that improve on previous 

offerings. There is no requirement for any customer to upgrade their existing 

site if they don't wish to. If the site is running fine and doing the intended job, 

us bringing out a new version will not change this. However, for those who do 

wish to take advantage of the newer features, upgrading is worth the time 

and effort. 

4.2 Upgrade 

Policy 

CactuShop upgrades are free for six months after the purchase of a 

CactuShop license. Beyond this you can purchase additional upgrade coverage 

for one year from our web site order form for  50 (GBP). Note that this is not 

an additional license, purely an admin fee to cover the cost of supplying 

upgrade code. If you have multiple stores, you may upgrade as many of them 

as you wish with the newest code providing they are already properly licensed 

CactuShops. 

4.3 

Obtaining the Latest Version 

All upgrade requests are handled through our web site. Please go to: 

http://www.cactushop.com/main/upgrading.asp

You will need your license number and the original email address you placed 

the order from. If this has changed, please use the contact form on our site to 

let us know. 

Assuming your license is less than six months old or your upgrade coverage is 

current, the latest version will be emailed to you automatically. Please note 

that the zip file is over 1 MB in size, so you will need to ensure that you have 

no filters that will prevent such an attachment from reaching you.
