Install freezing on step 2

[cabell]

Hi there,

 

I know this has probably been asked many times, and I have searched for hours trying to find the solution but can't.

 

I am trying to install latest version of osc on a shared server, the operating system is windows server 2003 the web server is lls6 and PHP 4.

 

I have managed to get the install script to run and get to step 2 and put in the database server as localhost and the db username etc as privided by my host company, I leave the persistent connections unchecked and the sessions storage - database checked but when I click continue it displays the top part of the third page `New Installation' `Database Import' and then nothing it just hangs.

 

Please help

The most common cause for installation getting stuck in step 2

is that most recent PHP installations have register_long_arrays = OFF

This needs to be turned to ON in the php.ini file (you will need to

restart your web server and/or restart the server to get this change to take effect.)

Thanks for your help vger, I'm afraid i need a little more!!

 

I can't find the php.ini file on my server is this something only the host company can do or have I missed something?

 

Thank you

I'm having this exact same problem on a FreeBSD machine running Apache 1.3.33 and PHP 4. However, there is no register_long_arrays option in php.ini, and when I add it and restart apache, it doesn't help.

I'm not using Apache but I downloaded this contribution:

Thanks for the help.

 

Unfortunately, I'd already downloaded that contribution.

 

Please modify php.ini.like below:

register_globals = On

register_long_arrays = On

register_argc_argv = On

it can work.

Don't use register_globals_v1.3a.zip to cover any file in oscommerce-2.2ms2-051113.zip.or you can't install.I just sovle it.
