Stuck at step 2 database import

[samuraiijack]

First of all I appreciate all of you who contributed to oscommerce for making public this type of intellectual work. I searched a lot on this forum before posting the message but I found no thread with this type of error. I am new to oscommerce. During the installation process when I enter the database information and hit continue, all I see is a half page, not even any error. Here is that page. I am trying to install first on my local computer. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

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

stop and restart your server to get this change to take effect.)

I have already tried that but it didn't work. By the way my register_long_arrays was on by default.

It could also be that error reporting is turned off and then any number of errors could be the reason e.g. php5 compatibility problem, 'use old passwords' problem, register globals disabled in php.ini problem. Hard to tell.

There is another similar post I guess. And I am extremely sorry for I forgot to mention that I am trying to install it on Windows xp with IIS. In the other post the manual configuration of configure.php is suggested but I don't know exactly what variables need to be changed. I would appreciate if anyone can tell what should be edited in configure.php. Thanks

I uninstalled the PHP5 and installed PHP4. With this I have got passed the mysql connection problem. But now after installing the script, I am getting this message

Warning: fopen(C:/wwwoscom/includes/configure.php): failed to open stream: Permission denied in C:\wwwoscom\install\templates\pages\install_7.php on line 209

 

The permissions on this folder are set to read, write, browse and execute in IIS. Any ideas why is this happening?

YOu also need to set the file level permissions in Windows Explorer.

 

Right click either the config files or the whole folder and make sure the Read / Write access is set for whatever user is associated with your web site. (Config in IIS)
