Folder Permissions

EdgeCart needs write access to these directories to store configuration, cache, and uploaded files.

Checking directory permissions…

Root & Database

Enter your MySQL root credentials and choose a database name.

MySQL Root Credentials *
Usually localhost
Used only during installation — never saved.
✓ Verified
Database *

Enter the name of the database your store will use. If it doesn't already exist, it will be created.

Letters, numbers and underscores only. Must start with a letter.

Database User

Create a dedicated database user for EdgeCart. Safer than using root at runtime.

New Database User
e.g. new_cart
Created in the previous step.
Allows multiple apps to share one database. e.g. nc_

Admin Account

This account will have full access to the admin panel.

Minimum 3 characters
Minimum 8 characters.

Site Details

Editable any time in the admin panel.

Used for order confirmation emails
This is the web address you'll use to reach your admin panel: /v2mXFLDcPhwS/. Keep it somewhere safe — you'll need it every time you log in. A random value is pre-filled for security, or you can set something easier to remember.
