BIG Problem when installing

[apk]

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

Did you actually 'create' a blank database using phpMyAdmin?

 

Are you installing in the root directory of your site, or in a 'catalog' folder?

Hi - did you sort this out as I have the same issue

[Guest]

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

It managed to copy the sql file and find it then when i try to access the admin cp it just says that it cant connect to the database.

 

What would you reconmend?

no i have sorted all that out, its going sooo slowly. It takes like 15 seconds to load the page and that from a 1.5mbit cable.

 

Any suggestions?

[Guest]

I get Parse error: parse error in d:\Domains\kabod.co.uk\wwwroot\oscommerce\catalog\admin\includes\configure.php on line 19
