Install Help Import Database step

[atomictaco]

I have been trying to install OSCommerce 2ms2 for several days on a Linux box running PHP4, Mysql 4.1, Apache 2. The istall always fails when trying to import the database, all I get is the header and the rest of the screen is blank. I created a blank database prior to install, permission for all the files and folders in the directory and subdirectories are set to 777, register_globals is on register_long_arrays is on and still having this error.

 

I have searched the board for 2 days and tried everything I found pertaining to this problem and nothing works. Anyone able to help?

Do the install manually

 

1. Go to your database via phpMyAdmin. Click just once on the name of the database - just to highlight it and bring up the right column with all of the tables.

2. Then you'll see an SQL link at the top of the page - click on this

3. On the next page use the Browse box to locate the install/oscommerce.sql file on your own computer, then click Go. The database is now set up.

4. Edit the two configure.php files manually.

Thank you for your quick response! I am not sure what you mean by edit the configure.php files manually though. What changes need to be made in them?

OK, I finally got it working. I fumbled through the configure.php files then I went through and did a re-install over what I had done and now everything seems to be working OK. Thank you for your help vger.
