Hi, sorry if I seem so stupid but I am trying to install Oscommerce in my Pc (Windows 2000) at work, I have Apache, MySQL and Php5, once I have the "Catalog" folder in the root folder of apache and I am going to http://localhost/catalog/install, I got the screen to install but it stops in step 2, I am pressing Continue, and nothing and I don't get any error, just clicking all time Continue and nothing, ... please have anyone some idea? Oscommerce has to have php4? thanks... :(

I'm trying to install on Server 2003 with the same issue: Stuck at Step 2.

I believe it is because the database does not exist, which I am having some difficulty creating. I'm attempting to run the phpMyAdmin 2.9 setup script, but I'm getting the following at the bottom of the page:

PHP Warning: Unknown: open(C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1.SER\LOCALS~1\Temp\php\upload\sess_r148li69174601avvher0icsd4, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in Unknown on line 0 PHP Warning: Unknown: Failed to write session data (files). Please verify that the current setting of session.save_path is correct (C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1.SER\LOCALS~1\Temp\php\upload) in Unknown on line 0

 

Is there a sample database that I can use to get started?

Found the fix:

I think that looping behavior might be caused by register_long_arrays ...check your setting in php.ini ...

 

register_long_arrays = On

 

Though I still cannot get a database created....hmph.

For people searching, here is what the problem was:

In the php.ini, I changed the paths for these settings:

upload_tmp_dir="%somedirectory%\php\session"

session.save_path="%somedirectory%\php\upload"

 

Then I gave IUSR_MACHINENAME "Modify" permissions to those folders.
