I'm having the identical problem. What is your server setup? I'm using apache2, php5, on freebsd.

Frustrating huh? I'm using Linux, MySQL, Windows XP on godaddy.com

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.)

 

Another possible cause is using GoDaddy. Do a search of these forums for the large number of people who have had trouble installing on GoDaddy.

I am trying to install OSCommerce on my localhost and encountered this problem. I have set register_long_arrays on and I have previously switched on register_globals as well.

 

However I am still stuck at step2. Two questions;

 

1. what else do I have to do?

2. Is there a list of required settings in php.ini ?

Hi

I host with GoDaddy as well. I have installed OSC a few months ago and all I had to do is modify a couple files and it worked just fine no problems.

Now I can?t find those instructions and the suggestions that are available are not working, I tried to modify the INI file but I can?t restart the server, I tried and did not work. Changing the htaccess several times trying all the suggested lines none worked.

Is there a solution to the problem and how can we apply it please let us know with clear instruction to minimize error.

What changed from a few month ago is it godaddy or a new version of osc.

Thanks guys we really appreciate the help.

The simplest thing to do if you are having problems with running the install is this:

 

1. Delete the online install folder

2. Edit the two configure.php files yourself - inputting the correct information

3. In your web hosting control panel create a new, blank, database, and then go from there to phpMyAdmin. In phpMyAdmin click on the SQL link and use the Browse box to locate the install/oscommerce.sql file you have stored on your computer. Click the Go button and this installs the default data.

 

If you edited the two configure.php files correctly you now have a working store.
