Guest Posted June 29, 2004 Posted June 29, 2004 you have something wrong in your configure.php files and/or your database did not get populated from the oscommerce.sql file, so you need to check that with phpmyadmin, etc.
lam Posted June 29, 2004 Author Posted June 29, 2004 I have checked the Php myAdmin The database have been populated. Howere, there is an error message: "The additional Features for working with linked Tables have been deactivated. " Database running on localhost "PMA Database ... not OK General relation features Disabled "
dijit Posted June 29, 2004 Posted June 29, 2004 I'm having a similar problem. I can get to the catalog (that shows 1 warning see below), but not the admin area. I get the same error msg: "Unable to connect to database server!" During the install, it tested the database connection and said it was able to connect... I've checked my config file and all connection vars appear to have the proper values. Also, on the catalog I'm getting?"Warning: I am able to write to the configuration file: /catalog/includes/configure.php. This is a potential security risk - please set the right user permissions on this file." I've done a chmod 444 on the file. Any help/thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.
