♥Vger Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 You load the osCommerce folder called 'catalog' into the root folder for easyphp (it may be called webdocs, www, htdocs, webpages etc.) Then you need to go to http://localhost/phpmyadmin (or similar) and set up a blank database ('Create a new database' link). Then you need to go to http://localhost/catalog/install and start the install procedure for osCommerce. You will need your database user name, password and the name of the database you set up.

dwatson Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 i dont know how to easy php with the oscommerce only because i am new to PhP. how do i get the oscommerce stuff to go into the easy php program? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Let me ask a real-real newbie question: What is easyphp? I know php pretty well, but I'm new to osC. I tried searches on this and could not find an answer. Thanks, David Watson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥Vger Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 Personally I use Xitami for my local server, but it does not come in an all-in-one package so isn't for everyone - but it's much faster and less intrusive on computer resources. I prefer XAMPP over easyPHP for ease of setting up and of use, but you do need to apply the php5 fix to admin/includes/classes/upload.php for the admin section of osCommerce to work.

♥Vger Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 If you are typing http://localhost/catalog/install into your browser and nothing happens then there is either something wrong with your install of easyPHP (unlikely if you can use phpMyAdmin) or else the catalog folder is in the wrong place. Sorry, but it's been ages since I used easyPHP, and can't remember what the web folder name is, but 'www' does sound right. Are you getting any error messages? Or are you just getting a blank screen?

Vger <{POST_SNAPBACK}> first i just got a blank screen when i tried to run the install like that. now i it says my register_globals are off and that is why it wont run, but i went into the php.ini file and changed the register_global settings to on and it still says that same thing.

♥Vger Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 Okay, it's possible on a local install to end up with more than one php.ini file. Run a search of files on your computer for all files named php.ini, and then edit all of them - that's the first thing to do. Then, if easyPHP is using php5 then go to your catalog folder, and go to admin/includes/classes/upload.php and on line 31 where you see $this change it to //$this If this doesn't work come back here for some more ideas.

♥Vger Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 You got a reply within 15 minutes - what more do you want? Bumping is not allowed - which I suspect you know, as it robs others of their chance to get their post viewed and answered. Vger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack_mcs Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 When using EasyPHP, you don't need to install oscommerce like you normally would. In the www directory, create a directory with whatever name you want, i.e., NathansShop. Then unzip the oscommerce archive file, and copy all of the contents of the catalog directory into NathansShop. Change the configure files to point to this directory and you are done with the files. Next, open a browser. Then right click on the EasyPHP icon in the task bar and select Configuration->phpmyadmin. This will start phpmyadmin. Once there, you need to create a database and then upload a copy of the database you want to use into it. All done.

Zeme Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 i change all the register_globals in the php.ini folders but it still says they are off <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Does php (or apache) have to be restarted to re-read the php.ini file? (I'm used to dealing with apache config, and you have to restart it to get it to use the new configurations). I don't remember whether I had to restart my services to get the register_globals to be recognized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack_mcs Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 Yes, but all that is involved to do that is to right click on the tray icon and select restart.

TCwho Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 i change all the register_globals in the php.ini folders but it still says they are off <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Be sure you are actually modifying the correct portion and not the comments section. When I first used easyphp I was editing the comments section! Goof!
