There is a contribution to have it work with PHP 5 you can look in the contributions for it. OSC also needs register_globals to be on for the installation to work. I think the beta OSC 3.0 does work with PHP 5 though Backup before making changes. Backup before making changes! Backup before making changes!! You did do a backup? eh?

♥Vger Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 Recent php installations have Register Long Arrays and Register Globals set to off in php.ini - and this will be the case with PHP5. You need to set both of them to On in php.ini and then stop and restart the server for the change to take effect. Vger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlcy44 Posted December 30, 2006 Author Share Posted December 30, 2006 thanks Vger, setting Register Long Arrays to on did the trick. i ran into another problem. i have tested mysql's setup, it works. and i make sure the user has create privileges on the db schema. but after i filled in info for Database Import and click continue, it only shows: New Installation Database Import on the page. it seems like the page didn't finish loading. pls help. :'( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥Vger Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Getting stuck on Step 2 of the install is usually an indicator that Register Long Arrays is not 'on' in php.ini - either that or Register Globals is not set to 'on'. Vger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woo-haa Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Apologies for digging up an old thread, piggybacking and probably asking a question that has been answered. Because of my webhost, I can't change Register Globals to ON. So I tried using Vger's contribution to use osCommerce with register globals off. But my installation still stops at step2. Are there any known issues regarding this? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d.aspo Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 I also wish to chime in here. I've set globals and long arrays to on but I am still stuck at the same page. I am running on XP with PHP 5.20 and Apache 2.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
