  • what if I dont like using Soholaunch?

    I am thinking of setting up a new account and trying Soholaunch. As I won't have a website already with the new account, I am presuming I just start to use soholaunch staright away as per your detailed instructions.

    However, what if, once I have started using it I don't like it? Do I just make the site with the usual BV software or will I need to reset the account?
    Don't aim for success if you want it; just do what you love and believe in, and it will come naturally.

    I believe that You will need to reset and start all over again.

        No but I have seen so many posts from people who have tried it and its really turned me off...............

        The other problem(for me) is that I only have a slow Wifi IP and to create you must be online.....so its a no.no for me.
        Have fun

            I didn't have to reset my account - and I had built on Soho - just deleted Soho and went back to BV.

              You don't need a new account to try your hand with Soho.....and you SHOULD start with Soho as you get the hang of working with carts!

              1. Create a folder named "cart" in your Blue Voda folder located in "My Documents" simply by opening the folder in Explorer and 'CREATE NEW FOLDER.' >> This is how you are creating a new "directory" for Soho to reside in....it is the same method for adding a sub-domain, add-on domains, Forums folders, blogs directories, etc.

              2. Upload this new (empty) folder named "cart" to your VH account via the BlueFTP tool in Blue Voda.

              3. Go to your VH Account Control Panel, and through Fantastico! install Soholaunch yourself, MANUALLY specifying this new "cart" folder as the destination directory. This way, you can always uninstall Soho from it and install OSC to the same folder according to whim without messing up your BV "public_html" directory or have to resort to resetting your entire account....

              When linking/accessing, merely add "cart" to your command, and you will immediately by default have the "index" of the cart present itself. For example, if linking to your cart via a BV page link, you would enter it thus:
              www.MyOriginalDomainName.com/cart/


              I try to keep things simple!

                  uploaded the empty file "cart" to my account through ftp 3 times and I still can't see it?

                    I don't know about Vassili's experience. Maybe i'm a bit left behind because i don't use Soho very often. But, in MY experience, you CANNOT manually install Soho in a folder. That's because the Soholaunch installation wizard will NOT allow you to install it in a user defined folder. It will ask for the DOMAIN to install soho in, so you need to first create a SUBDOMAIN for it.

                    You also don't need a folder in your computer, specifically for Soho, as soho is a serverside builder so everything is on the server.

                    So, the steps are:
                    1. Create the SUBDOMAIN. Let's suppose you call it "soho".
                    2. Go to Fantastico, and select Soholaunch. Click on "new installation".
                    3. in the first steps you will be asked for the domain to install Soho in, answer, select "soho.yoursite.com" from the dropdown list.
                    4. Click on install.

                      Thanks for your help guys but this one truly is beyond me.... I'll stick to what I have I think!!! I am too worried about messing something up, I just have too many websites to risk going wrong!

                      Thank you anyway

                        Re: what if I dont like using Soholaunch?

                        Marnicky, don't think that!!!! I'm a total "DUH" to all this and I even tried Soho!!! So come on, you can do it! Just do what Naval said if you want to try it out. I did it just fine. Right now, I abandoned it and am building my other pages in BV and I will probably get rid of Soho later as I couldn't customize it the way I wanted.....but I wanted to try it anyway! So go ahead and try it! What was it that you wanted to do with it?

                        Then, do what Bethers said...when she decided she didn't want Soho, she just deleted it and returned to BV. As long as you keep it all separated from your other sites, you will be okie dokie! Then, if you like it, you can link it to any of your other sites you wish.

                        Now go, try it! you MIGHT like it! LOL
