Hi Nick,  (Homer!?),

There's a properties file for this under webapps/konakart/WEB-INF/classes/konakart.properties.

More details on this can be found in the FAQ at:

The zip is provided only for users who wish to install KonaKart manually or on hardware and/or software platforms not directly supported by the two wizard-based installers.   

The zip contains the same files as the Windows & Linux/Unix Setup executables but these do need to be configured manually to get KonaKart to work.   (KonaKart is a java-based system so it should be possible to get it to work on a wide variety of platforms where java is supported).

You are, however, strongly advised to use one of the two wizard-based installers because these will configure all the configuration files for you automatically.

Good luck, and let us know if you run into any problems.

Hi,

Work on the Administration Tool for KonaKart is well underway. 

We aim to make it as user friendly as possible as we recognise that this is of critical importance to storekeepers.  Currently we are creating this with Google's GWT but this might change. 

The implementation architecture includes some new SOAP Web Service interfaces that can be used to maintain the store data.   This is rather like what we've done with the SOAP interfaces that are already available for KonaKart from the client application persepctive, except these new ones are for the administration.   With SOAP Web Service interfaces available for administration of the data it should be easy for us, and anyone else for that matter, to build administration functionality by creating applications from the WSDL definitions.

With the AJAX/GWT client and the Web Services back-end, we hope to provide a secure and user-friendly administration tool in the near future.  Watch this space....

But, in the mean time, you can use any osCommerce database-compatible administration tool you choose - inlcuding the free one provided by osCommerce.
