Instalation Problems....I think

[mckeed]

I went through the install script and on step 7 i got this output:

New Installation

 

osCommerce Configuration

The configuration was successful!

---------------------------

It says I was successfull, but if i click on the button to take me to the catalog it brings me back to the install screen. Am i doing something wierd? The database was created no problem. I checked the tables and everything seems ok. Anyone encounter this problem before?

Make sure that all of your folder permissions are set to either 755 or 777. The folders must be accessible to all. Also, during the install both configure.php files must be writeable, and set to 777. You reset these two files once the install is complete.

 

After completing the install you must delete the 'install' folder.

I used ws_ftp chand did a chmod on the directory and set the permissions to 777 but still no luck. Any other suggestions?

CHMOD via FTP only works on Unix/Linux servers, and not on Windows. But it may simply be that you need to delete the install folder. The system is set up to take you to the 'install' folder if it still exists after installation. So try deleting it - you can always upload it again if you need to.

hmmmm....since this is windows, then maybe that is just the case...I'll try that....i've also put in a ticket about this on the webhost. It is primarily an asp host, but i had some issues with asp stuff and gave up...unfortunately, still have the hosting. Probably not the best enviornment to set this up in.....oh well. Thanks for all your help.

For anyone else's edification. THere was a "web-ftp" client that i used to change the permissions, which completed the install. But when i went to the homepage it still complained that it could edit configuration.php even though I had see it to read only through this web interface. I ended up just going back to ws-ftp and doing a chmod on the file and set it to have everything read. Owner still had write ability when i checked through chmod. Changed all of the files just in case. Don't want to get get hacked. This solved that issue. My instalation is all set up. Thank you very much for the help and I hope this can help someone else who encounters similar problems. Now off to custimization!
