Install stuck on step 2

[brenridley]

I am tring to install oscommerce. I downloaded it, unzipped it, and used ftp (asci) to upload it to my server. When I run catalog/install/ it askes new or update. When I select new. It asks 2 questions (sample data and something else) when I press continue nothing happens it just refreshes the screen.

 

I tried changing everything to 777.

 

 

Thanks,

Bren

I had the same problem. When I replaced all $HTTP_GET_VARS and $HTTP_POST_VARS with $_GET and $_POST, I could make the installation. Now, I'm stuck with language inclusion problem and also with

"Fatal error: Cannot re-assign $this in upload.php"

I had the same issue, I was trying to install OSC ona server that was using php 5.1 it just was not working, even though I took care fo the global_off issue. I had to ask my server provider to switch to php4.4.12(the older version they had) and it installed without a problem. I think OSC might have an issue with php5.1+ especially if you're trying to get around the globals issue. Try another version of PHP[if you can, I understand some of you are on a shared server as am I]. Thats all the advice I can help offer, I ahd to settle for older php, just so i could open up shop...yes,older...less secure, php...with globals_on *tear*

Make sure you have register_long_arrays turned on in your php.ini

 

That fixed it for me in PHP5
