Instructions
1. Download the appropriate ZIP file
2. Unzip the files to your hard drive
3. Follow the New Installation or Upgrade Instructions

NOTE: Every server is a little different so please email us or post to the forum if you have any problems with the installation/setup. We will be happy to help you.

ANOTHER NOTE: Error reporting is turned off by default. If you are having problems with the installation (white screen, etc.), place an empty file in the same directory where shop.php and admin.php are found called aom_debug.txt. The presence of this file will enable on-screen error reporting so we can help you troubleshoot the problem. Just remember to delete the file once the problem is fixed so error reporting is turned back off.

Demo Stores

You can download saved settings from any of our demo stores to use as a starting point for your own stores.

1. Download and unzip the cfg.saved.php file
2. Upload the file to your /aom directory Note: If you already have saved settings they will be overwritten
3. Log in to your control panel (the settings will automatically load)
4. Edit the settings as desired (including the Amazon Associate ID) and then save

Extras

Download the aom_extras.zip file. It contains the following helper files:

•	aom_debug.txt This is useful in troubleshooting installation problems, etc. The presence of this temporary (empty) file will tell AOM to enable PHP on-screen error reporting.
•	aom_phpinfo.php Uses the built-in PHP function phpinfo() to display your PHP ini settings
•	aom_cachecleaner.php Can be used to automatically clean your /aom/cache directory beyond what Associate-O-Matic does automatically. The benefits are that you can specify your cache size limit without slowing down your store pages (this script runs separate from your shop.php). You would make an entry to your cron file to use it. Open the file itself for instructions on how to use it.
•	.htaccess This file contains the command needed to redirect a domain to your store - simply upload it to the directory where shop.php resides (your web host must support .htaccess files)
•	ratings.png NEW! Though there are many ratings image sets to choose from, you can use this .png file as a starting point for creating your own ratings image sets. For example if you were wanting Brown Stars instead of the Yellow, Blue, Red, Green or Grey stars you could use this file to create those. It requires an image editing program such as Adobe Fireworks or Adobe Photoshop.
