blank page during install help please

[diggingrelic]

i get a blank page during the install.

 

i did the pre-configuratoin

mysql is installed and running, from shell i can type 'mysql -u user -pPasswd' and login...

mysql has been tested and works

the server is localhost

php is installed and running currently i have a forum running with php postgreSQL

i am running fbsd 4.10

 

i enter all this information into the window and no matter which 100 different way i could think to type it, including the ones in the docs... i always get a page with the install header graphic, and blank below it... the href is .. //myserver/catalog/install/install.php?step=2]http://myserver/catalog/install/install.php?step=2

 

i can enter ANYTHING and it does the same thing

 

just a header graphic with no body... there is nothing to click on or anything...

i deleted reexctraced redownloaded and everything

 

any ideas

You're probably running php5. If you can, downgrade to 4.3.11

Did you set up a bank database for osCommerce before starting the install?

yes everything is setup correct and i just double checked coulda swore we settled on php 4.x but i double checked and it is 5.x

 

so osCommerece does not support php 5.x and i am going to have a headache if i try right ?

You can try the '$this in uploads.php' fix (link below my name).

 

I would also recommend doing a search of all osCommerce files for instances of $this = null; and changing all to unset($this);

 

However, you may still have problems with php5.

is there a planned release date for a version that supports php5?
