apk Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Hi, I download the software, upped it to the server and began install. I then made the database and entered all the details for it in the installer. I then went to go to the page where it copies the oscommerce.sql file. I then came up with this error: New Installation Database Import The following error has occurred: SQL file does not exist: /usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/install/oscommerce.sql I have checked and the sql file is in the install folder where it should be. I thought this was odd and contact SparKy. He then sent me this: The path to the SQL file is created from your server settings. so if the path is wrong then its likely that there is a configuration issue on the server. If you want to force the location you need to edit the file install/templates/pages/install_2.php and look at lines 81 - 94. Regards I found out that the actual path on the hosts server was: /usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/ineopc.com/httpdocs/install/oscommerce.sql I did as SparKy said and it still doesnt work. I get the same error message. I have talked to my host and they have said that everything was fine as their end. If ANYONE can help me then please do. You can PM me or email: piershausjell [at] gmail.com for more info. If you know whats wrong please let me know. Piers Thanks in advance just for reading this :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥Vger Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 I download the software, upped it to the server and began install. I then made the database Did you actually 'create' a blank database using phpMyAdmin? Are you installing in the root directory of your site, or in a 'catalog' folder?

Guest Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Hi - did you sort this out as I have the same issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Piers, I think I've sorted it! You need to actually edit Install_3.php in the templates/pages folder and then edit line 44 so it looks like this $sql_file= 'D:\Domains\domain.com\wwwroot\osCommerce\catalog\install\install\oscommerce.sql'; or the relvant local path for your site# Let me know how you get on Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
