Im trying to install osCommerce and im still in the beginning... my problem is that i can not access to the second screen of installation... the one that i put the name of the database server, the user, his password and the database name. I checked the "Import Catalog Database" and the "Automatic Configuration" check box and then select "Continue", but nothing happens. Can you help me?? Thank you in advance, Antonio
Guest Posted January 21, 2007 Posted January 21, 2007 I'm having this same issue and haven't found the answer yet in searching the forum. All I found was the same question. lol.
tec Posted January 21, 2007 Posted January 21, 2007 Does your host provide fantasico or the like? in your host panel, there might be a place for you to install OSC. This eliminates you doing it manually

Thank you in advance, Antonio Follow Vgers "Quick Install Guide" located at the very top of Installation and Configuration. I followed it when I installed. She gives clear advise.

I checked the "Import Catalog Database" and the "Automatic Configuration"check box and then select "Continue", but nothing happens. I, too am having this same problem. I've been searching the forums and documentation, but haven't been able to find a solution. I've seen several others with the same trouble in the forums. I am simply trying to install this on my Fedora server. I own the box, and have root access. Nothing shows up as an error in my logs, but it simply reloads the initial page. Is there no help available? I really hate to go edit the config file manually, but it looks like that's my next step. If I do that, where does the config file go when I'm done?
tec Posted January 21, 2007 Posted January 21, 2007 you will have 2 config files to change, one of them in the includes directory of your main shopping cart directory, and one in the includes folder in the admin directory

Thank you in advance, Antonio Ok, for those having this problem (myself included initially), here is what I found necessary to get past the first screen in the "/catalog/install/install.php?step=2" dialog, and get to the second screen allowing to setup the database. I am running default install of php5 on Fedora Core 5, here is what I found that fixed the issue... I have full root access to the server, and others that do will need to go into the /etc/php.ini file. I started just turning stuff on and testing with different configs turned to on in the php.ini file untill I found the one that fixed this problem. I started with the usual values that give problems with PHP apps, like turning "Register Globals" to on, etc., but the one that did it was the "Register Long Arrays"! i.e., I changed the value from... register_long_arrays = Off ... to ... register_long_arrays = On And that was the magic button for the fix Hope this works for anyone else too. Cheers -Renoir :)+<
Guest Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 The solution to my problem turned out to be that I was running php5 and needed to run 4. I use dreamhost for my storage and asked them how to change the arrays and they told me to switch to php4 and it worked. Anyhow, install complete and working well.
butchevans Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 I am running default install of php5 on Fedora Core 5, here is what I found that fixed the issue... I, too am running php5, but not Fedora Core. Either way, the php.ini change below did fix the problem. Shouldn't this be documented? go into the /etc/php.ini file. register_long_arrays = Off ... to ... register_long_arrays = On Thanks for reporting this.

Shouldn't this be documented?Thanks for reporting this. I'm running php5 not on Fedora core... I made that change on php.ini but i still have the same problem... Anybody have some other clue that might put my osCommerce working? Thank you in advance, Antonio

Run "apachectl restart" should reload the webserver (and php with it).
capi Posted January 23, 2007 Author Posted January 23, 2007 Did you restart your webserver after the change? Run "apachectl restart" should reload the webserver (and php with it). Yes i did. And the "problem" remains. :( This is driving me crazy... I think i will try with php4. If anybody have any other clue i would appreciate. Thank you in advance, Antonio
