gripking Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 So I've installed oscommerce and used it twice now. I'm trying to install it on a dedicated server though and having a problem. Nothing happens when I click 'install' on the first step. Does anyone know what I might need to change?

Guest Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 In addition to register_globals = On you need register_long_arrays = On in your php.ini file. I had the same problem and this fixed it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gripking Posted April 18, 2007 Author Share Posted April 18, 2007 I can't find that file on my server. Can you help or send me a template? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cacaca Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 php.ini is in the php folder on your server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gripking Posted April 26, 2007 Author Share Posted April 26, 2007 There isn't a php folder. I use Plesk thru GoDaddy's dedicated server if that makes any difference. I'm too familiar with running a dedicated server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥Vger Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 If you are going to self-manage a dedicated server then you are going to have to learn how to do things like this. But here's a quick workaround for now. Create a new text document on your desktop and rename it to php.ini, put the code below into the file, then upload it via FTP to the root of your website. register_long_arrays = on Vger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gripking Posted April 27, 2007 Author Share Posted April 27, 2007 Well you learn by example. Thanks for pointing that out though. *rolls eyes* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Guess what? I get the same problem! FATAL ERROR: register_globals is disabled in php.ini, please enable it! This is my 3rd install of OSCommerce since 2003 and I never had this problem before! I followed vger's advice and uploaded the php.ini text file I created to the httpdocs folder (I assume this is the folder to upload to?). Same error. What a surprise. And Don't feel bad because you're a beginner like me, I recently installed a package called CUBECART as recommended by my webspace provider (www.34sp.com). Cubecart is very easy to install and is easy to configure... Except.. The paypal payment gateway is so badly designed (as acknowledged by Cubecart themselves) that it doesn't work on many servers and so that software is useless. A total waste of money. And I spent two weeks trying to get assistance from the developer and in the end they said "can't understand why it doesn't work". Now, if the so-called experts can't figure out why their shop doesn't work correctly, what chance do us noobs have? And it's not like I'm generally dumb and have a problem to understand stuff. Back in the 80's I was coding in assembly language and designing digital circuits. The whole system is an awful mess and this is one of the reasons help is so poor and hard to find. So I have no idea why register_globals is suddenly a problem when it wasn't on my previous 3 installs of OScommerce using the same hosting provider!

SnyperBob Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 Wow.... I just wanted to say thanks for pointing out the register_long_arrays = on. I'm running Abyss Web Server X2, and was having a hell of a time getting osCommerce to install. The install script did not work at all. So, being leet and all, I tried to do a manual install. I got it installed, but had a ton of issues with the admin panel displaying php variables instead of what they were equal to. To make a long story short, register long arrays = on and register globals on allowed me to get up and running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
