Hello,
I've been looking at documentation all day, as I'm new to RT.
I downloaded the Mercado Tutorials zip package. Unzipped it and started reading through the installation pdf. The instructions for using RocketLauncher seem odd.
IE...Step 1 - Upload
• Download the RocketLauncher (rt_mercado_j15-rocketlauncher.zip)
• Unzip to reveal the rt_mercado_j15-rocketlauncher folder
• Upload
Note: You can upload all the files via FTP, or use cPanel or SSH to upload the zip and
unzip directly onto the server. Enquire with your hosting provider.
Step 2 - Installation
• Go to www.yoursite.com/rt_mercado_j15-rocketlauncher
• Follow the Installation instructions
• Ensure you click Install Sample Data during installation
I'm sure I'm missing something. If I follow the directions above my site would get installed and live in: www.mysite.com/rt_mercado_j15-rocketlauncher/ not www.mysite.com/
This seems odd to me. I can understand if this is a dummy site then it doesn't matter, but most people I run into take the sample site and modify it to there needs. I'm new, so by all means, square me away.

- After you have uploaded the RocketLauncher files, you just go to www.mysite.com/ and the installation process will begin.

That's how the process is supposed to normally work. What I'm trying to point out is that with the directions given (Which I cut and pasted into my original post) shows this:
Step 1 - Upload
• Download the RocketLauncher (rt_mercado_j15-rocketlauncher.zip)
• Unzip to reveal the rt_mercado_j15-rocketlauncher folder
• Upload
Notice the last two steps? So now it's suggested to UPload this Folder to your site.
If after uploading that folder to your publichtml directory, and you goto, www.mysite.com/ , as you suggested, nothing will happen because to kick off the installer you need to goto www.mysite.com/the-name-of-the-uploaded-folder/
I'm simply trying to point out if someone blindly follows these directions, their site isn't going to live in the root of the publichtml directory. It will live in the root of the folder it was suggested they upload and run the installer from.
Unless I'm missing something, please tell me you agree? If not, please tell me why?

You aren't missing anything, you just haven't figured out yet that most of the time, directions like this are vague and the people writing them don't take into consideration people like you and I who over-analyze everything.
You don't make a folder called rt_mercado_j15-rocketlauncher (that seems not right) The writer is assuming that you know to only upload the files inside of that folder, not the folder itself. So if you want magento to run on www.yoursite.com then you simply upload the files INSIDE the rt_mercado_j15-rocketlauncher to the public_html/main directory of your website. You can also make a folder and upload the contents to that if you want to run your shop in a subdirectory like yoursite.com/shop

Hi Mika,
You need to pay for a support membership to have access to these files.
www.rockettheme.com/joomla-templates/mercado (click on download).
If you have a membership then you will be allowed to click on the download link. If your not a member it will tell you that you need to be in order to download these files.
