Can't get past 2nd step on install

[RadBrad]

I had installed this on a shared server and it worked fined, other than the fact it wouldn't work with the payment processor (IGS). So, I switched to a virtual dedicated server that is running PHP Version 5.0.4, MySQL 4.1.20 on Apache 1.3.3. The backed up files I transfered would generate the shopping cart page, but there were errors. So I decided to reinstall it from the beginning, but now I can't get past the URL: http://www.mydomain.com/catalog/install/install.php?step=2. So, I'm stuck in the install process. I've changed permissions on all files to 755, and changed the config files to 777. Anyone got any ideas so that I can continue to reinstall? Or should I just reconfigure the server to an earlier version of PHP?

doesnt matter on a shared versus virtual dedicated, if igs wont work on one it wont work on the other.

anyway you are having problems because of php version 5 installation, search tips and tricks on how to install with php5

I believe the problem is with your php.ini file. I had the same problem and one of the default settings needed to be changed.

 

Hope that helps,

Thanks for the feedback. I switched hosting to allow for the IGS authentication process that matches IP addresses. My shared hosting went through a proxy server, so this created an authentication problem. I've gathered from some of the posts I've read here re: IGS and GoDaddy hosting that I needed to upgrade the hosting, add the SSL, and all should work.

Unfortunately, I've made the transition but can't get to the point that I can verify it. I have made the changes to my PHP.ini file and the .htaccess file in my catalog directory. The catalog and admin loads and displays, but there are no subcategories, I get a "product not found" message when I click on a product and there are some variables that are displaying, such as "BOX_ENTRY_SUPPORT_SITE

" in the admin screen, rather than the appropriate text.

I would prefer not to attempt to "downgrade" the PHP version on the server, as I have extremely limited knowledge of shell commands and don't believe the PLESK control panel can help here. That being said, if anyone who has had similar experiences as mine believes that it would be easier to install the previous version of PHP on my server, please let me know.
