00dawg Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 I have uploaded the catalog folder contents to my server. When I put in "www.my-server.com/install" (using my domain) or oscommerce or any of the other recomended pages all I get is a blank page. I can go deeper into the page structure and get other pages but the web install does not start. I have changed the permissions and all the other recomended steps but I still only get a blank page. I have my database setup and php and apache are running on my webserver. What am I doing wrong. I did a search on this topic and I have tried multiple things suggested to fix this with no luck. Please help. Thanks 00dawg :'( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
00dawg Posted May 1, 2005 Author Share Posted May 1, 2005 Ohh by the way my hosting service is 8-95.com. Thanks 00dawg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
00dawg Posted May 2, 2005 Author Share Posted May 2, 2005 So do I need to make sure that PHP is not in safe mode. From all the reading I have done today that is the only thing that looks suspesious. Here is the error when i go to http://www.domain.com/catalog/ Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in /home/cornel00/domains/mydomain.com/public_html/catalog/index.php on line 85 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥Vger Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 If http://www.domain.com/catalog/ is actually your domain - then congratulations on getting a great domain name, but there is no error, and it doesn't look to be an osCommerce site. That error would have come up before line 85 if there were a problem with the server or php, so I would suggest reloading the root level index.php from a known good (unedited) copy and see if that helps.

00dawg Posted May 2, 2005 Author Share Posted May 2, 2005 yeah your correct Vger that is a good domain I did not plan on it being a live link. Anyway back to my problem. I have not edited the index file so it should be ok. I do not understand why the web install will not iniciate. Thanks for any more help. 00dawg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥Vger Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 Even if you have not edited that file it may not have uploaded or installed properly. It's still worth uploading a known good copy before looking for any other problem. If your server uses php5 then you'll need to make a small edit to admin/includes/classes/upload.php, and one line 31 where it says $this change it to unset ($this); Vger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
00dawg Posted May 2, 2005 Author Share Posted May 2, 2005 I take it that when you say root level index you mean the one in the folder catalog. here is a link to my site http://www.sassracing.com/catalog/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
00dawg Posted May 2, 2005 Author Share Posted May 2, 2005 Ok I replaced the one in the main folder catalog now I get this error. Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in /home/cornel00/domains/sassracing.com/public_html/catalog/includes/application_top.php on line 33 My server is running php 4.x so i dont think I need to update that php file. What does this error mean. Thanks 00dawg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥Vger Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 Okay, the fact that replacing index.php got rid of the previous error means that you were right to replace it. Now it's showing the same sort of error but a different instance in application_top.php. It looks as though your initial upload of files did not go well. I would keep replacing files until you run out of error messages and have a good install that works. You are correct that php4.x should be okay.

00dawg Posted May 3, 2005 Author Share Posted May 3, 2005 I have reloaded everything multiple times and it still will not work. I do not get an error when I go to the site I just get a blank page. DAMN this is getting frustrating. 00dawg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
