Install Problem

Here is my setup:

 

Windows Server 2003 SP1

MySQL 4.1.22

PHP5

 

I am remote desktopping to the server. Going the address http://www.lp****.com/catalog/install/install.php

 

I check the two boxes and click continue and nothing happens. The URL changes to catalog/install/install.php?step=2 but the page stays the same, I cant get passed this step.

 

I've given full access to the files to see if it was the permissions, but I still get the same damn problem.

I can't actually see the site - that link is all messed up - prolly code checking...

 

Also, IIS on Win2k3 is wierd - you may need to set the permissions in IE to allow the site content making it fully trusted - it may be RDP that is stopping you. Win2k3 IE runs in "protected mode" which is insane to manage for a while. The blnk page is hard to diagnose, can you see any server logs that would indicate a fail? or just not populating the page?

I think I got it

 

In your php ini file on your server you need to turn on 'register_globals' and

'register_long_arrays' to "on"

 

restart IIS Admin and mysql

 

try that see if that works!

I get a username error now:

 

Access denied for user 'Brandon'@'localhost' (using password: YES).

 

This is the command in mysql i used to try and setup a new user to my database.

 

mysql > CREATE DATABASE catalog;
mysql > GRANT USAGE ON * . * TO 'Brandon'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'Password';
mysql > GRANT SELECT , INSERT , UPDATE , DELETE , CREATE , DROP , ALTER ON catalog.* TO 'Brandon'@'localhost';

 

(none came back with errors)

I think you needs to change the password hasgin for mysql - I seem to remember a problem with passwords and how they are read

 

I got this error on one of my servers -

 

Warning: mysql_pconnect(): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES) in G:\PHP\php2.php on line 4

 

PHP version - 4.2

MySQL - 5.0.2

 

The solution to the above problem is as follows -

 

1) Check your hostname, username and password from the MySQL monitor, by using the following query - select host,user, password from user;

User is a table in the MySQL database (in case u did'nt know )

 

2) Now use the above values while using the mysql_pconnect() function.

 

3) If the error persists then - go to the MySQL monitor and change the password using the following command -

 

mysql> SET PASSWORD FOR

-> root@localhost

-> =OLD_PASSWORD('');

 

 

******************

 

just do a search for:

 

Access denied for user (using password: YES).

 

there are a slew of articles and individual solutions

I finally got it to accept my username by giving it the grant all privileges command a few times.

 

Now I get the error | SQL file does not exist: /install/oscommerce.sql |

 

This looks like it's configured to find the file in the unix directory structure although I may be wrong. The file is \catalog\install\oscommerce.sql, is there a config file that I need to edit to point it to the right place?

I tried importing the file right into mysql, but I cant get past step 3 in the install now.

Cannot find install/oscommerce.sql

----------------------------------

You are probably trying to install on a Windows server.

If they were people - they wouldn't be able to find their own way home.

You need to edit install/templates/pages/install_3.php and where you see:

$sql_file = $dir_fs_www_root . 'install/oscommerce.sql';

 

Edit it to (change /path_to_root/ to real path):

$sql_file = '/path_to_root/install/oscommerce.sql';

 

You will need to know the path to the root of your website.

Check with your hosting company if you don't know.
