Problems installing osc

[cabell]

Hello,

 

This is the first time I have tried to install osc and i am having problems getting the install script to run.

 

I have uploaded all the files and folders (as far as I can tell) to the root directory on my host server but when I type in the path I get an error 404 `file or directory not found' message.

 

I have tried every path I can think of including:

 

http://www.nasty-world.co.uk/install

http://www.nasty-world.co.uk/catalog/install

 

as well as entering the server as the domain and various others and I still get the same message every time

 

I have searched the forum for help and have tried the suggestions that seemed to fit my problem but still the same error.

 

Please help anyone

Upload the catalog directory to the public folder for your domain. It is usally called 'public' or 'httpdocs'. After that you can get to it via url "www.yourdomain.com/catalog/install"

This error may be showing for a number of reasons. There are a few threads in this forum that deal with that issue. Do a search and you will multiple suggestions/fixes for your problem.

 

First thing I would look at is your file permissions, make sure they are set to execute.

 

Also, I noticed that register_globals is turned off in your php.ini file. 'register_globals' must be turned on to use OSCommerce. Either turn it on, or if you do not have access to php.ini,

 

create a .htaccess file with this line:

 

php_flag register_globals on

 

and upload it to your public directory.

Thank you for your help - i've uploaded a .htacess file but no luck, I don't have access to change file permissions so I have e-mailed the host company.
