nalpec Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 I'm attempting to install oscommerce onto my linux server. I have installed php, apache2 and mysql, and set these up and tested them. After downloading oscommerce and going to the install url, I click the install method (new) then on the next page, select the Import catalog database and automatic configuration options, then click continue, and fill out localhost for the database server, with an added user and password and specify a database name. When I click on the 'Continue' button I just get the top half of a new window saying 'New Install' and 'Database Install' (same as previous page) but nothing else, just a blank page from there on? I've tried changing settings, but cannot get further than this... any one had this before, or know how I can resolve this? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nalpec Posted August 30, 2005 Author Share Posted August 30, 2005 Ok, after looking at the install.php file, it is trying to display a file called install_4.php. This file does not exist in the catalog/install/ directory? Should it? Maybe I'll just try downloading it again and doing another fresh install...?

So after realising that it must be something to do with the database side of things, I managed to narrow it down to my PHP installation on the linux server. I didn't have php-mysql installed :o . After installing it, and restarting a few services it all worked fine. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now to sort out the rest of my problems! For anyone who doesnt know....just find the rpm for php-mysql, install it, restart httpd. Or if you have Fedora...use 'yum' It downloads and installs. I think I just had to.... 'yum install php-mysql' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
