oscommerce download is corrupted

[samauto]

I am trying to download the oscommerce download for linux

the download works but when opening the file it is corrupted? Is there any other place to get the software?

 

Thanks

The osCommerce download comes in two formats, zip and tar - both are identical. The only difference is the method of extracting the files.

I think I may have had the same problem when I downloaded oscommerce-2.2ms2

 

For some reason, it is named oscommerce-2.2ms2.tar.tar , instead of oscommerce-2.2ms2.tar.gz

 

So, I renamed it (not sure if I needed to but I did) to oscommerce-2.2ms2.tar.gz

 

Use the following command: mv oscommerce-2.2ms2.tar.tar oscommerce-2.2ms2.tar.gz

 

It is gzipped, so you'll need to unzip it with the gzip command from the unix/linux command line:

 

Use the following command: gzip oscommerce-2.2ms2.tar.gz

 

Which will then uncompress it to a tar archive, so you'll need to uncompress the tar archive in order to get a folder with files:

 

Use the following command: tar -xvf oscommerce-2.2ms2.tar

 

I hope that helps. I just thought I would include the commands since I didn't know how saavy you are in unix.

Or you can unzip/untar all in one step

 

tar -xzvf file.tar.gz or sometimes you'll see file.tgz. Same thing.
