Oscommerce will not install stuck on Step 2

I usualy try reading and researching before i contemplate posting a topic but this one has me baffled.

 

Basically iam getting stuck at step 2 installation, I have read that register Globals and register globals needs to be on and i have done that and i still can not get pass stage 2.

 

These are the Phps.ini which i have changed :

 

Php4 >/etc/php4/apache2/php.ini

 

Php5 >/etc/php5/apache/php.ini

 

when i do locate php.ini i get the following results :

 

etc/php4/apache2/php.ini <<changed

/etc/php4/apache2/php.ini.saved_by_

/etc/php4/cli/php.ini <<changed

/etc/php4/cli/php.ini.saved_by_

/etc/php4/cli/php.ini.saved_by_.01.20;15:22

/etc/php5/apache/php.ini <<changed

/etc/php5/cgi/php.ini <<changed

/etc/php5/cli/php.ini <<changed

/usr/share/doc/php4-common/examples/php.ini-dist

/usr/share/doc/php4-common/examples/php.ini-paranoid

/usr/share/doc/php4-common/examples/php.ini-recommended

/usr/share/doc/php5-common/examples/php.ini-dist

/usr/share/doc/php5-common/examples/php.ini-recommended

/usr/share/php4/php.ini-dist

/usr/share/php5/php.ini-dist

 

 

i also went ahead , just to be sure and changed php ini in those other location , just to be on the safe side and its a still a no go.

 

Youre help on the is deeply appreciated.

>_< Same problem here on IIS 5.0

 

Looks like

 

$HTTP_GET_VARS['step'];

 

is empty.

 

No idea why, but is just jumps to the default in the swtich statement in install.php

 

Could be a problem creating sessions?

register_long_arrays = On

My solution:

 

It was register_long_arrays = On in php.ini to fix the step 2 problem, then you get another issue when it fails to reload the setup DB page. To fix this I had to Bin php 5.x and install 4.x.

 

Tghen you get another problem with DB accesswhich can be fixed with this:

 

cmd> mysql.exe

 

mysql> UPDATE mysql.user

-> SET password=OLD_PASSWORD('your_password')

-> WHERE user='your_user'

-> ;

 

mysql> flush privilidges;

 

your_user might be 'root' unless you created a new one

 

Wasted half a day on this. Looks like the windows support here is poor.

 

Now got some sort of session problem, but the site is configured and runs.

Then run

 

mysql> update configuration set configuration_value = 'c:\\php\\tmp' where confi

guration_key = 'SESSION_WRITE_DIRECTORY';

 

to fix the session issue. Make sure that the iis user has access to the folder.
