I'm following the documentation - have ftp'd the catalog folder to my server (to a subfolder - which is the 'root folder' for this domain name/url I want to build the shop for) - have succesfully set up the database - go through the installation and am getting stuck on step 3!

 

the error I am receiving is during Database Import: SQL file does not exist... /install/oscommerce.sql - shouldn't it be looking for catalog/install/oscommerce.sql???

 

help and thanks in advance

Windows server by any chance?

 

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

 

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

 

change it to:

 

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

 

For 'path_to_root' insert the pathway to the root of your osCommerce website.

Hi ,

 

I am getting a similar problem after setting up my mysql database on Godaddy server.

I've ftped the oscommerce template files to a folder the same name as my database

 

 

The files exist on my hosting server at gardenshop/...

 

and I get : SQL file does not exist... /install/oscommerce.sql

 

I've tried changing the templates/pages/install_3.php

 

but it says

 

SQL file does not exist.. gardenshop/install/oscommerce.sql

 

Please help before I deceide to change my host altogether.

 

Thanks,

 

Raven
