osCommerce Set up

[papapumps]

Hi i'm new!

 

Having problems getting osCommerce set up on my windows XP machine, using Apache server. Each time i try to install oscommerce using browser window with the following:

 

http://localhost/catalog/install/

 

I get the following:

 

Warning: main(includes/functions/general.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in c:\program files\e-novative\WAMP\www\catalog\install\includes\application.php on line 22

 

Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'includes/functions/general.php' (include_path='C:\Program Files\e-novative\WAMP\php\pear;C:\Program Files\e-novative\WAMP\php\pear') in c:\program files\e-novative\WAMP\www\catalog\install\includes\application.php on line 22

 

The pathway exists, the includes/functions/general.php is shown in application.php!

 

Tried to add above pathway instruction into application.php but just got syntax errors!

 

I have added the regiter_Globals patch!

 

I have looked through postings but have not found anything to help!

 

Any help expressed in non tech simple terms would be much appreciated!

 

Thank you!

Well, as this is a local install there was no need to install the Register Globals patch - because you have access to your php.ini file. All you had to do was to locate php.ini (may be more than one copy) and search for Register_Globals, and if it says 'Off' change it to 'On'

 

Your error messages may be the result of folder permissions not being correctly set. Go to the folders, right click, select Properties, and if you find the Read Only box is ticked - untick it. You may have to be logged into your computer as the Administrator to do this.
