Unable to import database

[greysun]

I am using xp pro with IIS 5.1

I have php4 installed

Also installed is SQL server 4.1

 

I am trying to do a fresh install of oscommerce 2.2 ms2

 

When I go to the install process I give it the information required, using localhost as the server and the user name and password I have set up through mysql. I have tried both with the database created and without. When I click next from giving it the database information it stops at a screen displaying New Installation Database Import on the left and the oscommerce logo on the right. The rest of the page is blank and nothing else occurs. I am guessing it is having problems accessing the database but I am unsure why. I have also tried using the internal IP that Mysql is using 127.0.0.1 and the machines IP address as the database location with no success. I have even tried using the root user name and password for mysql server in place of the one I created for the site.

 

I have several ASP websites that have no problem using accessing the databases I have created under Mysql.

 

As a last stitch effort I even tried importing the data into the database manually and this route I end up getting to the end of the install where it tries to access the database and I end up at the same half loaded page

 

Any help here would be greatly appreciated. I have been beating my head against this wall for at least 3 hours now and cant for the life of me see what could be going wrong.

 

Thank you in advance.

I have a version of 2.1 also I downloade some time ago, just an update. I just tried to install it and had the same result.

 

At this time this is a non production copy of oscommerce on a junk database so I am willing to give log in info if needed to whoever is willing to help me figure this out.

Thanks to a post digitalmonster made in another thread this has been solved. As it turns out when you install php4 mysql is disabled by default. All I did was remove the ; from in front of the line that enables mysql in my php.ini and all is well.

 

Thank you digitalmonster
