Error on installation step 2 & step 7

[James Argo]

Hi... it's my first post :)

 

I appologize for the nature of the questions. Newbie on the board :blush:

 

I'm running PHPTriad 2.2.1 on my WinXP Home Edition machine. Then I installed osCommerce.

I followed the instruction on the install text. Copy the "catalog" folder into

 

C:\apache\htdocs\

 

I import the oscommerce.sql file using PHPmyAdmin, and it's succesfully imported.

I set all privilages for my username & password. So... I begin the installation.

 

First problem on step 2:

 

Access denied for user: 'James Argo@localhost' (Using password: YES)

 

:blink: Hmmm... It's strange because I actualy set my user & password with all privilages in any host (%) on the MySQL. The problem solved when I change my privilages to localhost only (not anyhost - %)...

 

Why? :(

 

Then I continue the installation. Everything runs fine until I reach install.php?step=7 page, with 2 buttons, namely Catalog and Administration tool.

 

Second problem on step 7:

 

If I click on Catalog button, then appear:

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /catalog/install/:///index.php on this server.

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Apache/1.3.23 Server at localhost Port 80

 

 

 

If I click on Administration tool button, then appear:

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /catalog/install/:///admin/index.php on this server.

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Apache/1.3.23 Server at localhost Port 80

 

Now... I'm stuck... :-"

 

Can somebody point me the right dirrection here? I'd be gratefull then... B)

 

Thanks alot!

Ok, for problem 2 (step=7), I must have missed to set the www. server to http://localhost/catalog on step=4 :blush:

 

Now it runs...

 

Still I don't understand the problem no 1 (why do I need to set my privilage to "localhost" instead of "any host" in MySQL users page?)

 

Please enlight me... :)
