vangelis_ Posted November 14, 2006 Posted November 14, 2006 Hi all! this is my first post here as i have just tried to install OSC on my server (actually have been trying for a couple of days now). Here is the thing, I followed the exact installation instructions, got the registered_globals error, patched the installation and finally got access to the install folder. However, neither the "new installation" nor the "upgrade" options work. I keep getting stuck on the same page (domain.com/catalog/install/upgrade.php?step=2 and domain.com/catalog/install/install.php?step=2). The installation will simply not continue! :( I ought to point out that I get no error messages (such as the register_globals error I was getting before) :'( Just the same page with the same fields! Any help will be greatly appreciated! Chears!
Daemonj Posted November 14, 2006 Posted November 14, 2006 What options are you given on that page? "Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocre minds.

Daemonj Posted November 14, 2006 Posted November 14, 2006 Sure. Send them via PM along with the correct URL and I will see if I can help you out.

bustin98 Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 This is exactly what I was getting before I changed all HTTP_*_VARS to _POST, _GET, _SERVER, and _COOKIE. Its running smoothly now.
vangelis_ Posted November 15, 2006 Author Posted November 15, 2006 Hey bustin98, you mean simply replace all HTTP_*_VARS occurances in all php pages of the installation? Both admin and catalog?
yaoche15 Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 Hey bustin98, you mean simply replace all HTTP_*_VARS occurances in all php pages of the installation? Both admin and catalog? Hi everyone. I have the same problem too, please help! :o Kind Regards, Mars
bustin98 Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 Yeah. Using either Dreamweaver or FrontPage, you can replace text in an entire site without actually going through each page. So just replace HTTP_POST_VARS with _POST, HTTP_GET_VARS with _GET, etc . . .
vangelis_ Posted November 15, 2006 Author Posted November 15, 2006 thanx a lot bustin98..will try that and post the results! :thumbsup:
vangelis_ Posted November 23, 2006 Author Posted November 23, 2006 The tip that buston98 offered finally worked like a charm! the shop is now up and running! However, since I see that there are so many people suffering during the installation procedure (I guess it's due to different system configuations) wouldn't it be a great idea if there was a dedicated area here in the forum with questions and answers for specific problems? For example: Q: Are you getting an empty page during installation? A: Format your drive :) I am an experienced php web developer but trying to find the reason for OSC not installing as it should is like in_array... needle in the haystack!
