Fatal error while trying to install osc

[nrqln]

I am trying to install osc for the first time but encountered the following error right at the beginning, while trying to ccess the install file:

 

Warning: main(includes/function/general.php):failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /srv/www/htdocs/install/application.php on line 22

 

Fatal erros: main():Failed opening requiered 'includes/functions/general.php' (include_path = '/usr/share/php') in /srv/www/htdocs/catalog/install/includes/application.php on line 22

 

Tough I am not a php expert, I tried changing to full path names some of the 'require' lines but that only made the problem worst

I changed the include_path in php.ini with the same result.

 

Can anybody help me on this????

 

tks, Enrique Leon

so - is this file on your server or not : includes/functions/general.php

if so - chmod the file to 755 using your ftp client

In addition to davidinottawa: did you copy everything underneath the catalog-directory from the osCommerce download package to your server ?
