Install glitches on first page

[tslager]

I hope someone has had this same problem and can help, but I can't find anything searching these forums, so...

 

I follow the install guidlines, then go to http://127.0.0.1/catalog/install/index.php (my machine) and see the normal welcome page. I click install, which brings me to http://127.0.0.1/catalog/install/install.php, where I leave the two choices, Import Database and Auto Config, checked and then press Continue. Here is were it gets weird, because the URL changes to http://127.0.0.1/catalog/install/install.php?step=2, but the page reloads and is the same, with the two choices checked. I have checked my setting, and everything seems in order.

 

My only idea is that I am running php5 on Mac OS 10.4. Could that cause the problem?

 

Thanks in advance for any help.

I have the same problem, but I use Suse 10 Linux, PHP 5.04 and Plesk 8.

 

The configure files in /catalog/includes/ and /catalog/admin/includes are set to 755

 

In .htaccess is php_value register_globals 1, and I have copied it into /catalog/ /catalog/install/ and /catalog/admin/.

 

There are no error-messages on the screen

 

In apache error-log is : PHP Warning: mysql_connect() [<a href='function.mysql-connect'>function.mysql-connect</a>]: Access denied for user 'wwwrun'@'localhost' (using password: NO) in /catalog/includes/functions/database.php on line 19

 

Some suggestions ?

I had same problem, check out:

Still not sure if this is just a fudged solution, or if OSCommerce is more stable on PHP4... OSCommerce Documentation refers to PHP4 with no mention of PHP5.
