Installation problems using Windows 2003 Server

[Guest]

Hi all,

 

I hope someone can help me, I have set up a mysql database and added a user and password to it. When I start the install using install.php, I select that it is a new install and then I put in the server as localhost ( I have tried the ip address and server name also) I put in the user name and password I set up and the name of the database, when I hit next I see the top part of the next page (database install) but the bottom of the page is blank. I am trying to install right on the server so there should be no network problems. I have started the install from the website folder on my server at E:\Inetpub\websites\computermodding.com\catalog\install\install.php. I think I have set up all the necessary peramaters but I am missing something. I would guess that the set up can't find the database that I have made. The database is on my c: drive.

 

By the way this the first time that I have made a mysql database so maybe I have done something wrong there. Also this is my first time trying to set up a script, my brother usually does this for me but he is unavailable this time.

 

Any help will be deeply appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Hi,

 

if you can have a look in the two configure.php.

Here are all the root settings etc.

 

// Define the webserver and path parameters

// * DIR_FS_* = Filesystem directories (local/physical)

// * DIR_WS_* = Webserver directories (virtual/URL)

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://localhost'); // eg, http://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers

define('HTTPS_SERVER', ''); // eg, https://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers

define('ENABLE_SSL', false); // secure webserver for checkout procedure?

define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'localhost');

define('HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN', '');

define('HTTP_COOKIE_PATH', '/catalog/');

define('HTTPS_COOKIE_PATH', '');

define('DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG', '/catalog/');

define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '');

define('DIR_WS_IMAGES', 'images/');

define('DIR_WS_ICONS', DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'icons/');

define('DIR_WS_INCLUDES', 'includes/');

define('DIR_WS_BOXES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'boxes/');

define('DIR_WS_FUNCTIONS', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'functions/');

define('DIR_WS_CLASSES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'classes/');

define('DIR_WS_MODULES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'modules/');

define('DIR_WS_LANGUAGES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'languages/');

 

define('DIR_WS_DOWNLOAD_PUBLIC', 'pub/');

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', 'C:/apachefriends/xampp/htdocs/catalog/');

define('DIR_FS_DOWNLOAD', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'download/');

define('DIR_FS_DOWNLOAD_PUBLIC', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'pub/');

 

// define our database connection

define('DB_SERVER', 'localhost'); // eg, localhost - should not be empty for productive servers

define('DB_SERVER_USERNAME', '******');

define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', '*******');

define('DB_DATABASE', 'your databasename');

define('USE_PCONNECT', 'false'); // use persistent connections?

define('STORE_SESSIONS', 'mysql'); // leave empty '' for default handler or set to 'mysql'

?>

 

as you see I don't use IIS Server I use XAMPP but maybe it gives You an Idea.

You probably have php5 installed, change it to php 4.3.11 or 4.4.0
