ok i'm going to answer my own question...

login to your server and go into the website directory that you want to install prestashop.

use these commands:

wget http://www.prestashop.com/download/prestashop_1.2.4.0.zip
unzip prestashop_1.2.4.0.zip
rm prestashop_1.2.4.0.zip
chmod 755 config tools/smarty/compile sitemap.xml
chmod -R 755 img mails modules themes/prestashop/lang translations upload download

then go to your web browser to www.yousite.com/prestashop/

run through the web installer

when finished come back to the terminal and use the following commands...

rm -r install
mv admin NEWADMINNAME

* NEWADMINNAME to be replaced with a different name for your admin panel than admin. prestashop requires this.

then your done. prestashop installed much much more easily than magento. for the record.

A lot of hosts do not allow 777 permissions on files or directories and will cause permission errors when those files or directories are accessed. chmod 755 should be enough.

yeah you're right. i'm pretty new at this still. thanks.

Hi great information there, if I install the files at http://mydomain.co.uk/prestashop as shown how do I make them show as htttp://mydomain.co.uk/ in the root directory?
