install problem

[urko]

Hi,

I have just downloaded oscomemrce (Linux version ) and uploaded it to my host provider which supports php and mysql.

As I wanted to start installation program I get this error:

 

Not Found

The requested URL /cgi-bin/php/catalog/install/install.php was not found on this server.

 

As I don't know much of .php I would need some advise.

 

Thanks,

Where did you upload osCommerce too? Did you upload the 'catalog' folder to the root of your web, or into the cgi-bin?

I talked to my host provider and he forget to put cgi-bin folder with .php file in.

Now it works fine :)

I am having the same problem. What does it mean when you mention:

"I talked to my host provider and he forget to put cgi-bin folder with .php file in.

Now it works fine."?

What do I tell the host provider to do? Is it part of the php installation on the server?

I have copied the files into the root directory of the website. To test I created a file called index.htm and put it in the /catalog/install directory and I was able to access it - so it must be a setup issue.
