Originally posted "Hi, I purchased build a niche store (BANS) and I have successfully uploaded all the files, setup the database done the CHMODs. I then setup the store and entered in a category number and clicked on the "setup store" button. When I go to browse my store it is empty. I have tried changing the Switch mode from normal to curl and vice versa (Curl actually works on my hosting plan with another website). I have tried different category id numbers all to no avail. Can someone please give me some help here? Thanks Markus" The support people from Build a Niche Store (BANS) have been in contact with me and have fixed my problem (On a Saturday no less). There was a small problem with my hosting not reading the MySQL file in all at once which was causing this error. The support people modified my SQL script so my host was able to read it in properly and now my site is working. I have to give a big thumbs up to Adam from buildanichestore.com for his support on a Saturday and resolving the problem extremely quickly. Always nice to see such great support when you first purchase a piece of software.
You could have probably started a new thread for this I reckon. In fact I think you should. I agree - support is something that can make or break an online purchase (hosting, software, etc) - it's good to hear that the BANS guys are doing the right thing
I'm running a series of posts on this topic at mogul.webmogulenterprises.com/niche-sites/ hope that helps
They've been very helpful for me as well. After a few bumps early, I now have 8 active sites (in 10 days) averaging a total of around $40 a day in commissions. I've journaled my success on Squidoo: http://www.squidoo.com/Build_A_Niche_Store_Review/ I'd recommend BANS to anyone! Kent
