I can’t save my Control Panel username/password… What do I do?
Make sure you have uploaded the shop.php, admin.php and aom.php files with the proper permissions and mode (BINARY).
Make sure you are using at least PHP v4.x as there are certain functions that require at least this version.
If all else fails, upload an empty file to your server named “aom_debug.txt”. The presence of this file will enable bug reporting which may help you troubleshoot the problem further.
If you still can’t fix the problem, email them the errors you saw when you uploaded the aom_debug.txt file.
