ACDELCO SITE SETUP

Steps to create a acdelco only site that will receive a order from ACDELCO.
This type of store is a special store. This will not sale directly to customers, aka it does not have a catalog part ( and it should not be allowed either).
The usuall setting is that this order receiveing site belong to a already signed up client of us, which means that it has its own site already defined in sophio.
Currently all acdelco stores are meant to be installed at 1and1 server ( may change later).
Let suppose that our client has this website http://www.mysophiostore.com registered with us. ( if the client is in dev stage, aka has only IP/virtual we sould wait till he gets the domain setup).

1.
First to to be checked is the virtual. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT to have the virtual set to mysophiostore.com .
If the virtual is set to "mysophiostore" we need to change that to mysophiostore.com.
If we had to make this change, we need to go to D:\inetpub\sophio\wrencheadsites\ ( this might differ from server to server) and rename "mysophiostore" subdirectory to "mysophiostoredotcom".
2.
Go to http://www.mysophiostore.com/newstore.wws
and create a new virtual. The naming convention for the virtual as much as possible should be acdelco_mysophiostore (acdelco_ We will create the virtual off the client's site, however the URL should be formed as IP/acdelco_mysophiostore
DO NOT create databases.
DO NOT create a html content.
CLONE the current store settings.
This store is basically a virtual store , has no design , and will not be directly accessed except for admin purposes.
