If you cannot get this right then you shouldn't be hosting your own e-commerce store. The Internet is rife with opportunists that will take advantage of your insecure server. Get a proper host. – mar10 Oct 15 '10 at 15:20

Seriously, you're putting all of your customers at risk by hosting this yourself without knowing what you're doing. Either hire a qualified system admin, or (the far cheaper option) get a shared hosting account. – Lèse majesté Oct 16 '10 at 6:19

  1. Once you unzip the files, the installation is the default operation. I am assuming you see an installation screen. Or have you already done the installation?
  2. after installation remove the install directory.
  3. After install the admin is accessible from http:///admin/ It should not be visible directly at http:///. If you are facing such an issue it is pretty strange.
  4. You can always rename the admin directory as you wish and make changes in the admin/includes/configure.php. That will help you setup a secure admin to start with.
