Initial bugs

[spenoir]

Hi,

I've recently installed oscommerce and i'm looking forward to grappling with its innerds!

 

A couple of errors/bugs i've noticed so far:

 

No footer on Admin pages - It seems to be included at the bottom of each admin page with:

<!-- footer //-->

<?php require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'footer.php'); ?>

<!-- footer_eof //-->

...but it doesn't appear on screen and the html just ends abrubtly when viewing the source???

 

I find that on every page refresh, oscommerce seems crash my windows install of php. I get the 'send error report' dialog every time the page refreshes.

 

my add to cart button doesn't work

 

my checkout doesn't work

 

'online catalog' link at the top admin pages links to catalog/catalog, which is obviously wrong.

 

 

I suppose you have to be patient.

Has anyone actually had oscommerce working straight away without any problems, say within an hour or two?

 

thanks for listening.

:P

where did you get the package from? It should work out of the box.

and install it on a local system and try it. You need to have php and mysql installed properly though.

What kind of mysql/php install would you recommend? I am using phptriad which is nice and to install.

depends what your host has available. For local development I install separately apache/php/mysql - always.
