osCommerce

The e-commerce.

Installation breaks at 3rd step


Guest

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I'm trying to install OSCommerce on a Windows 2000 box running IIS. I've got PHP and MySQL running.

 

The problem I'm running into is when I try to install it, and get to the page where I have to fill in the database details (location of the server, user name, password and so on).

 

When I submit the details, I get a page returned, but it is broken - the last bit of the HTML is missing - there is no closing BODY or HTML tags.

 

According to the documentation, I should get something like this, but instead, I get something like this (the source code of the page is displayed in the notepad window).

 

Anyone got any ideas why this bit is failing?

 

Thanks,

Allan.

Update: I've got round that problem now. I think it was to do with the fact that I had PHP5 installed (which doesn't have MySQL support enabled by default). I tried enabling MySQL support for it, but it didn't seem to work, so I dropped down to PHP 4 (which does have MySQL enabled by default) and everything worked fine.

 

It'd be a nice feature if in the installation procedure, it would warn you if you don't have MySQL support going (or at least not just break like it did for me...)
