Installation fails

[skrumsager]

Hi

 

I have installed osCommerce on a linux/apache. 777 for both configure.php, 755 for all directories, 644 for all other files.

 

When i browse http://<myserver>/shop/catalog/install/ I get access to osCommerce Welvome page and are left with two options: install and upgrade. I click on intall and get a new page with cansel and continue buttons. I click on continue. This returns the same page! How do I continue? Any ideas?

 

The URL is http://<myserver>/shop/catalog/install/install.php?step=2

 

Best regards

Jon

Skrumsager,

 

I think I've cracked it..a bit more hunting found the following forum:

 

http://www.oscommerce.com/community/bugs,3...guration/page,2

 

I changed the array setting in php.ini as suggested, restarted my server and was able to progress to step 2 of the install. I'm sure there'll be more hassles..but one step forward!!

 

Hope it works for you.

It worked for me as well. I found the symptom after upgrading Fedora.

 

Solution used - paste into .htaccess for catalog:

 

<IfModule mod_php5.c>

php_flag register_globals on

php_flag register_long_arrays on

php_value default_charset UTF-8

</IfModule>
