Can't get past step 2

[maciekish]

Hi!

I'm trying to install oscommerce but i can't get past step 2 (/install/install.php?step=2), nothing happens when i click the "Continue" button.

 

A missing php extension perhaps?

 

Cheers

Bump for an answer!

 

I am having the same problem. At step 2 all I see is the top banner, nothing else. I know this is the point when I'm supposed to see error messages, or a next button.

 

I am using RedHat Linux, PHP, Apache, and MySQL. These are not most recent versions, but all exceed the minimum version identified for installation. My browser is Mozilla 1.7 w/ flash, php, etc.

 

Ive tried redoing the installation several times and reconfiguring different parts, but always fails. I keep thinking this is a problem w/ the DB, but my DB account (submitted in the previous step) has basically superuser powers over the DB.

HI,

I had the same problem... the problem is because the install.php use the long name for array variables ($HTTP_GET_VARS['step']) and may be you have this setup to off (like me, because I have PHP 5 and it come setuped to off by default). You need setup this:

register_long_arrays = On

in php.ini

 

or use .htaccess file in catalog directory...I past here my .htaccess file:

 

 

<IfModule mod_setenvif.c>

<IfDefine SSL>

SetEnvIf User-Agent ".*MSIE.*" \

nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown \

downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0

</IfDefine>

</IfModule>

 

# If Search Engine Friendly URLs do not work, try enabling the

# following Apache configuration parameter

#

# AcceptPathInfo On

 

# Fix certain PHP values

# (commented out by default to prevent errors occuring on certain

# servers)

#

#<IfModule mod_php4.c>

# php_value session.use_trans_sid 0

php_value register_globals 1

php_value register_long_arrays 1

#</IfModule>

 

 

Remember setup <directory> cluasule in you httpd.conf file of your apache for accept the .htaccess config.

like this:

 

<Directory "D:/apache/htdocs/mystore/catalog">

AllowOverride Options

</Directory>

 

 

Sorry for my english I am spanish speaker :).

Same problem here with new install. Can't get pass the continue botton. I have tried the modified .htaccess file and " php_value register_long_arrays 1" in php.ini.

 

If anyone figures out the problem, please post it! I will!

 

Thanks in advance to all,
