Not getting very far...

Hi,

 

I'm in the process of installing osCommerce on my own Apache webserver. I've got PHP and mySQL running okay (as far as I can see) but am now stuck on osCommerce's graphical install.

 

I go through the screen offering a choice between "install" and "upgrade from", choosing "install". On the next screen, I leave both boxes checked and click "continue".

 

At this point, the URL changes from "...catalog/install/install.php" to "...catalog/install/install.php?step=2" but nothing else changes.

 

Has anybody else encountered this or got any ideas about what might be causing it?

 

Thanks

I've the same problem. As Virtuemart have some bugs, I wanted to use oscommerce. My hoster is Hosteurope (M package). RG is on, everything else is at default level.

I have just read in the Quick installation guide, that the experts suggest downgrading to PHP4+ as it php5 does not compatible with OCcommerce !!

 

But how to downgrade !! that is the next question now !!

 

Any one can help !!

Blast! That's me done for then - I'm using an Intel Mac, and there is no PHP 4 binary available.

 

Downgrading in FC4 should be easy if you used an RPM. Even if you compiled it manually, I think everything goes into /usr/local/php5. I think :)

 

Good luck with yours. Thanks for finding that line in the install guide. I completely missed it.

This is nonsense. The latest version of OSC is fully PHP 5 compatible (and only a tiny tweek needed for older versions to make it so). If you have Apache, PHP and MySQL running locally there is no need to run the OSC installer. Simply:

 

1) Download a fresh copy of OSC.

2) Copy the files inside /catalog/ to your web root (or relevant sub directory)

3) Create a database and run the "oscommerce.sql" file (found in catalog/install/) on it.

4) Insert the correct paths and info into the relevant parts of your two configue.php files.

5) Surf to your new store in a browser (http://localhost/catalog for example)
