Can not get passed stage 2 installation

Recommended Posts

I have been running OSC on a Fedora Core 1 Linux machine with no problems. I have just built a new Server with Fedora Core 4 installed and have setup Virtual Hosting and am having problems. I firstly transferred my existing OSC to the new Server and got a list of register_global errors. Following the help files already here I updated a some OSC files to the updates. This then enabled me to view the shopping cart front but still having problems. Everytime I click on a product, it says product not found. If I try and log in as admin, I got a blank page with no error messages. I thought may be it might be a problem with my current version of OSC so, I have downloaded the latest version and tried to install. Straight away I had the register_global issues so, I again applied the suggested updates which then allowed me to see the setup screen. I get to the stage 2 screen of asking to create a new database and save settings, click next but nothing happens - I am still on the stage 2 screen. My original Fedora Core 1 server is also running as a virtual server and did not have this problem.

 

If anyone has any ideas then I would be appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Mark.

Another common problem that causes installation to stay in step 2 is register_long_arrays needs to be ON. There were also some recent posts where mysql was not enabled in the php.ini file that caused installation to stay in step 2.

I have found this too and have checked php.ini file - register_long_arrays is on. How do I check for the mysql bit?

 

Thanks,

In php.ini find the following line -

extension=php_mysql.dll

 

There should be NO semicolon at the start of the line. If there is, remove it to uncomment the line. To cause the change to take effect you need to restart you web server and/or reboot you computer.

extension=php_mysqli.dll is for newer versions of MySQL >= 4.1

Hi - I cannot find this entry in the php.ini file - guess this means it is an older version or should I be adding the entry?

Hi - found a duplicate entry in my php.ini file and all is now working on the cart front but, when I try to go into admin, all I get is a blank page?
