Wendy James Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 it doesn't have to do with the chmod of the config files, it is not able to find the table iaa.configuration no idea what that is though so that is all i can tell you Wendy James Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoodGrain Posted April 22, 2005 Author Share Posted April 22, 2005 ok. This is the 1st time i've tried to install & use osCommerce, so don't really know how to resolve the error message. From most of my searching, most ppl have said the error was due to them not chmod'ing these 2 files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendy James Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 Well, i could be wrong.. lol been known to happen. If they said it was the chmod then it very well could be. How are you trying to chmod the files? Using an ftp program or through your hosts admin panel? Wendy James Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.

WoodGrain Posted April 23, 2005 Author Share Posted April 23, 2005 Through FTP client. They don't provide shell access. I've right-clicked on botth the files and select rwe for all options which displays 777 as the file access level. I wasn't suggesting that this was the cause, i was just trying to avoid the replies of "you need to chmod these files to 777". I'm hoping it is something else, because even after I've chmod'd the files I still cant get step 7 to work.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WoodGrain Posted April 26, 2005 Author Share Posted April 26, 2005 I have the following in my catalog\install\oscommerce.sql file, which looks essentially the same as what you posted. CREATE TABLE configuration ( configuration_id int NOT NULL auto_increment, configuration_title varchar(64) NOT NULL, configuration_key varchar(64) NOT NULL, configuration_value varchar(255) NOT NULL, configuration_description varchar(255) NOT NULL, configuration_group_id int NOT NULL, sort_order int(5) NULL, last_modified datetime NULL, date_added datetime NOT NULL, use_function varchar(255) NULL, set_function varchar(255) NULL, PRIMARY KEY (configuration_id) ); Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoodGrain Posted April 26, 2005 Author Share Posted April 26, 2005 Is that your own modded SQL? The code i posted was from the osCommerce download. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoodGrain Posted April 27, 2005 Author Share Posted April 27, 2005 Guys, Is there anyone out there that can help? I can't resolve this problem. If it helps, "iaa" is a name i typed in on the previous screen as part of the install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoodGrain Posted April 28, 2005 Author Share Posted April 28, 2005 Are there any other thoughts? Or can someone point me to another shopping cart system that actually works? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HansKuijs Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 This is STILL a problem.Can anyone help? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I found a solution on http://forum.powweb.com/archive/index.php/t-21936.html: I found out what the issue was.... or at least the workaround. I had no data to import so I always unchecked the 'import catalog data' checkbox. Apparently it needs to do this, even if you don't have any data to import. Once I kept this checked, the whole thing worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
