Problem and Questions!

[Aeolian]

I am getting this error during installation:

 

Database Import

 

The following error has occurred:

 

SQL file does not exist: /install/oscommerce.sql

 

 

 

I uploaded the catalog folder via Dreamweaver to my FTP site, and I see that install file in there, so I'm not sure what's going on. Do I have to upload that file elswhere? I have a MySQL database from godaddy set up already and that's where i got my host name from. Can anyone help?

 

 

 

Also, some general questions if anyone knows. I'm new to online shopping carts and I'm setting up an online store. Can I integrate the OS commerce shopping cart, into the design of my page? And also, does it work easily with setting up with credit card merchants?

THANKS!

Make sure the sql file is in the install directory - If so change the permissions to 777

Thanks, it is in the install directory. How do I change permissions?

[crash3903]

In dreamweaver you can install an extension from their website to change permissions - when installed you can right click the file and change the permissions or do it through your hosting control panel

You are probably trying to install on a Windows server.

If they were people - they wouldn't be able to find their own way home.

You need to edit install/templates/pages/install_3.php and where you see:

$sql_file = $dir_fs_www_root . 'install/oscommerce.sql';

 

Edit it to (change /path_to_root/ to real path):

$sql_file = '/path_to_root/install/oscommerce.sql';

 

You will need to know the path to the root of your website.

Check with your hosting company if you don't know.

Thanks for the answer! I'm still having problems though. I went in and changed the code like you said. I cant figure out whats going on with the path to root. Ok I am uploading FTP via dreamweaver. Everything I upload gets transferred into a folder on my ftp called /nickcaroth1/ and so the OS commerce is under that as Catalog folder. So I tried both making my path: nickcaroth1/install/oscommerce.sql and also nickcaroth1/catalog/install/oscommerce.sql and I got the same errors both times.

 

I wasn's sure if i was using the wrong Database Name for the install procedure, but i've been using nickcaroth1 for everything so i tried that. I also tried nickcaroth1/catalog and It didnt work.

I'm stuck, please help.. THANKS!!
