Coupon Install

[ekahefe]

Hi. I have just installed a clean copy of oscommerce. I copied the coupon files over the original files and all seems to be working fine. (I went into the admin area and activated the voucher/coupons section and created a coupon). I also went into the payment modules and changed the sort orders to match the recommended order in the coupon instruction book.

 

I go through the shopping cart area and I redeem my coupon with no problems. When I get to the final step of the checkout area, "FINISHED" page, I get a blank screen.

 

I was reading the coupon instructions again and I don't remember "After you have copied the files install the sql. " this step. What does it mean to install this file? I see it in the folder and I think this may be my problem.

 

Thank you in advance for all your assistance!

You have to upload the sql file into your database. See this thread for instructions.

After I installed MyPhP (which is real cool!), I still had the same problem. I decided to uninstall oscommerce and I fixed 2 installation errors:

1. I uploaded oscommerce files as ASCII instead of AUTO

2. I created a brand new database on my server to start clean.

 

So far, it works beautifully! I just need to look at how the voucher system works and I am good to go. I hope this helps someone else.
