Default Can You Help Me Create a Classfieds Site?

Hi everyone,

Im knew to the site and already have a big request.

Bascially I want to run my own classifieds website, the only knowledge I have of this so far is that I will need a website first then classifieds software installed to the site. Problem is I dont know where to begin or what to do.

What would be good is if I could get a classifieds website already set up, but they all seem to be really expensive.

If you could post a neewbies guide below or something that would be great, thanks!

Get a script.

A script is basically the software/site pre-made, like vBulletin forums, all it needs it your customization.

A script is a pre-built website, normally in PHP form.

If you don't know what this is maybe websites are not for you.

Surely there are classifieds sites out there that can easily be published or that come pre-built?

Yeah, they are called scripts.

You will need a domain name, hosting, ftp access etc too.

If your knowledge of what a script is and how to build a website is so limited, is it really a good idea to tackle a project like this without first practicing by building a site at home?

And to test a script package, you'll need to have something like the Xammp Lite package installed, to simulate a web server, so you can see the php running. you'll also need to find a host who has PHP and MySQL as part of the deal.

Ok the latest is this:

Ive got a classifieds site with noahs classifieds installed but im finding it to be pants, someone installed the noah for me as a favour but now im trying to upload a different classifieds script myself to help me learn how to do things like this.

Basically im trying to upload the free version of www.visale.com to my server but keep the noah script on there as well incase the visale turns out to be worse.

Ive followed what they say in the visale installation guide and got past the bit about adding a mySQL which ive done with no problems, but then i get no where. I think ive uploaded the files into the wrong place?

I have the domain name, hosting, and smartFTP client all sorted.

cheers!
