Greetings,

 

I am installing OSC on Win/Apache box. I get to the page below (second step) and regardless of what options (checkboxes) I choose page does not go forward when I press continue.

 

Ideas?

check your php.ini

 

you probably have

 

register_long_arrays = Off

register_argc_argv = Off

 

but for osCommerce they have to be

 

register_long_arrays = On

register_argc_argv = On

:-)

That got me to the next page, where i was able to enter the db connection information, but after that the page did not fully render. Which variables should I turn on? Is there any documentation for this?

 

Thank you!

I'm experiencing the same problem with the screen not being fully displayed. Did you find a solution? (username: JamJar)

I am able to put in the db information (localhost) and I can confirm the information, as I am connecting to the same db via MySQL Admin tool, with the same credentials and from the same box (everything is on a dev box for now). When I enter the db connection on this page...

The following page renders like this...

I am using the manual that comes with OSC, but it just runs through the setup without showing potential problems. I have got the feeling it is all in setting up PHP correctly??

 

Thank you very much for your help!

Looks like php 5 is running and you are using an old version of osCommerce, either that or Register Globals is set to off in php.ini

I installed everything below yesterday and am having the same exact issue. (On Windows XP)

Apache 2.2.3

PHP 5.2

MySQL 5.0.27

OSCommerce 2.2

 

register_globals = On

register_long_arrays = On

register_argc_argv = On

register_globals = On

register_argc_argv = On

 

I had the same problem. I incrementally modified the following in php.ini:

 

register_globals = On

register_long_arrays = On

register_argc_argv = On

 

Save the file.

 

Then make sure the permissions are set properly for the configuration.php files in both the /includes and /admin/includes folders. To do this in Windows requires the securities tab to display when you look at the file properties. If you are unsure how to do this, go to Windows help and search on "file permissions". You must uncheck "Use simple file sharing" in Control Panel>Folder Options>View>Advanced Settings.

 

To give the files 777 permissions, go to the file properties page, select the Security tab, and allow full access for the appropriate user.

 

Once all this is done, restart your computer. After I did this, I was able to load osCommerce normally.

 

One other note. Make sure you allow enough "max questions" in the user you set up for the database. I started with 100 and got stopped out of the osCommerce installer. When I used 100000, I had no problems. This can be modified later, making it a more reasonable number.

DW, good to hear someone has gotten this stack of Apache/OSC/MySQL & XP working, but...

 

1) Did not see where/how to configure permissions in the instructions you gave (whether I walk through the Control Panel or use Tools in the Windows Explorer, when I get to the View -> Advanced Settings I do not see anything to do with file permissions???

 

2) Who is the appropriate user? Perhaps this is where I am failing? Should I be making a separate user in XP for OSC?

 

Thanks in advance!
