Install and Configuration "Yes another post"

[Guest]

Hi any help would be much appreciated. I've Installed osc from my cpanel, the server administrator set up Mysql for me. I can't link via admin link sent from install setup email. I searched and searched the forum and found a few things referring to the Mysql configuration but to be honest don't want to stuff anything up.

 

I keep getting the following browser message when i try to go in to the admin link.

 

 

 

1146 - Table 'surreyps_osc1.configuration' doesn't exist

 

select configuration_key as cfgKey, configuration_value as cfgValue from configuration

 

[TEP STOP]

 

If i understand this correctly it's saying that the Mysql file is not present?

 

regards

john

there isnt a table in oscommerce which is named surreyps_osc1.configuration, which leads me to think that one of your config files is wrong, or maybe the tables were not imported correctly.

 

But, you say youve installed oscommerce from your cPanel. I would not do this. I would install it via typing into your browser:

 

www.yourdomain.com/catalog/install/

 

that way you are sure that everything is configured correctly. Have your database username and password handy.
