I am unable to run the web based install wizard. It asks for the database info, after clicking next button i get blank page.

 

File and folder permission were set for php and osCommerce as per installation docs.

 

What am I missing?

 

System Info:

IIS on XP Pro

MySQL 4.1.13 (same user is able to login to the DB with mysql gui admin tool)

PHP 5

 

Appriciate any help.

Hi there,

 

Is there something like /var/log/apache/error.log on IIS? Somy error logs anywhere?

 

You could also check your php.ini for error_reporting to be turned on to maximum (http://php.net/error_reporting)

 

Cheers,

Nick

Web-based installation:

 

 

When it ask for the server name: give localhost not yourdomain.com!

----------

 

 

Then database name is what you have created, with the password

Thanks everyone for the help.

 

I moved from IIS to XAMPP with PHP4. I can start the install process now, but on the setp 7 i am getting the following errors.

 

Warning: fopen(C:/Program Files/xampp/htdocs/catalog/includes/configure.php): failed to open stream: Permission denied in C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\catalog\install\templates\pages\install_7.php on line 209

 

Warning: fputs(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\catalog\install\templates\pages\install_7.php on line 210

I have checked the permissions and 'EVERYONE' has read/write/modify permission on the configure.php and install_7.php files.

 

Is this a permission issue or something else? Thanks for your help.

Yes. EVERYONE has FULL CONTROL to includes and install folders.

 

Obviously there's something wrong, because you only get that error when the permissions are not correct.

 

However, now that you have reached that stage you can just edit the two configure.php files manually and your site will be installed.

removed and reinstalled XAMPP. Everything is working so far. I am able to install the catalog and administer my store.

 

Do i have to reset the permissions on the files/folders?
