samauto Posted April 28, 2005 Posted April 28, 2005 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
♥Vger Posted April 29, 2005 Posted April 29, 2005 The osCommerce download comes in two formats, zip and tar - both are identical. The only difference is the method of extracting the files. Vger
supergeek Posted April 29, 2005 Posted April 29, 2005 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.
Iggy Posted April 29, 2005 Posted April 29, 2005 Or you can unzip/untar all in one step tar -xzvf file.tar.gz or sometimes you'll see file.tgz. Same thing. Iggy Everything's funny but nothing's a joke...
