Installation problem

[lancaster_unik]

Hi as i am new to this forum if i do anything wrong please dont shout just point it out and i will do my best to correct the errors of my ways next time :)

 

OK here goes

 

1) I have downloaded the windows version of the OS Commerce solution

2) I have exported all the files into my root directory

3) I have created my MySQL database and noted the username and password :)

 

so far so good.....

 

4) I get to the first installation page and clicked Install

5) I then continues the process as directed by the installer until i get to the next page

6) This then brings up "/catalog/install/install.php?step=2"

7) I then ticked both the check boxes and clicked continue

8) Installation stoped!

 

I could proceed no further... No error message... not warning just wont let me off the page

 

My server is a windows 2k3 running an IIS 6.0 webserver

 

I have PHP4.0 running on this with a MySQL database platform....

 

Can somebody help me?

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

 

That worked....

 

Im now a bit confused regarding the next step. It is telling me that the document oscommerce.sql should be located /install/oscommerce.sql

 

I have it located in the following D:\sites\<site>\public_html\catalog\install\oscommerce.sql

 

From what i can see this is the correct location yet it tells me that the file does not exist in the location. Can you heklp with this?

 

 

also i am installing the software from the URL not the server so for example www.myshop.com/catalog/install

 

Any help apreciated

Graham - sounds like you are installing on a Windows server. If they were people then they wouldn't be able to find their own way home in the dark - hence they can't find the oscommerce.sql file.

 

Edit install/templates/pages/install_3.php and where you see:

 

$sql_file = $dir_fs_www_root . 'install/oscommerce.sql';

 

change it to:

 

$sql_file = 'D:\sites\<site>\public_html\catalog/install/oscommerce.sql';

It's okay to butt into someone else's thread if the question is the same, but if it's different then you really should start your own thread.

 

But as the original question is now resolvd - you create a blank database via your web hosting control panel. There should be a MySQL link. On a shared server you don't have the right level of permissions to create one using phpMyAdmin - only to manage them once created.

 

If this is a local install (Intranet), or if you have a dedicated or virtual dedicated server then you CAN use phpMyAdmin to create a database.
