osCommerce refuses to install

[petersutton]

Help!

 

I am trying to install a test website using the lates version of os Commerce, however the install process fails on http://localhost/ecom/catalog/install/install.php?step=7.

 

No error messages just the top banner saying

 

New Installation

 

osCommerce Configuration

 

The rest of the screen is blank

 

My OS is Windows XP running IIS5 (PWS version) / PHP 5?? / MySql 4.1.7-nt

 

I have been mucking about with this nearly all day and have finally given up.

 

I have checked the configure.php files on the server and they are not being written to. As best as a I acn tell full read/write permissions have been given on all the folders.

 

Help appreciated from anyone anywhere anytime.

If you have got php5 installed then downgrade it to 4.3.9 and then try installing again.

Many thanks :D - have uninstalled PHP5 and installed 4.3.9. We now get past the blank screen but get the following error message.

 

Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client.

 

Seems a bit odd as I thought we had the latest version or am i missing something.

 

According to MYSQL Admin client version is 5.0.0

 

Any Ideas?

Sounds as though you are trying to install with the ssl box ticked. If so, don't. You don't have an ssl facility on a local install.

There is an issue with PHP and Mysql 4.17 which means they dont work together.

 

From php.net

 

This MySQL extension doesn't support full functionality of MySQL versions greater than 4.1.0. For that, use MySQLi.

 

Uninstall 4.1.7 and install any version before 4.1.0
