stuck to step 3 import database

[onmcv]

:'(

i'm stuck in step 3 in the installation ... it gives me the following message.... " import database" and doesn't complete the screen so i cann't see the continue button

I am having a similiar issue, maybe it's the exact same one. Basically I browse to the /catalog/install and click on "New Install". At the next screen is 2 check mark boxes for importing and auto config. I click continue, nothing happens. No errors, no cannot be displayed, just sits there an stares back at me.

 

I am new to OSCommerce, but I have done PhP work with pbpBB.

 

Here is my software configuration.

Windows Server 2003 SP1

MySQL Version 5.0.27-Community (using TCP/IP)

PHP version 5.1.6

OSCommerce 2.2 Milestone 2 release.

 

One thing that I should maybe mention is that I installed MySQL with the NoInstall package. I manually installed the service and the my.ini file, so maybe that has something to do with it. But I can connect to it with NaviCat and was able to create a user account, so that kind of makes me think the database part is ok.

 

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Terribly sorry, I fear I may have hijacked this thread, only to find the answer myself here

This helped my problem out, so please ignore the previous post, and good luck to you Onmcv, maybe that thread can help you too.

Oooookay. I tried backing the MySQL installation back down to version 4.1, which I might add wasn't a very pleasant process.

 

Anyway, I got MySQL 4.1 installed and configured for my OSCommerce database.

 

Got the exact same error as with MySQL 5.0.

 

It's the same error on step 3 where it just hangs like it's trying to import the DB but doesn't.

Latest Update...or should I say failure....

 

Vger lists a manual install guide in the last page of posts on the sticky thread, it seems applicable to our problem.

http://www.oscommerce.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=118916

 

So I follow the guide and my end result is a blank page. No nothing, just a blank page.

 

Any help on this would be really appreciated.

Have you created the database using phpMyAdmin, so that it could import the data to it? The db username & pw, which normally are the same you use to access phpmyadmin, and the server, which you's see after login phpmyadmin.

i created it using mysql manager and i can open it and see the tables.... is it necessary to use phpmyadmin

 

Thanks a lot all

I used NaviCat to manage/create my database. Everything seems to be created ok.

 

Using that manual guide I was able to run the oscommerce.sql file and generate the tables. It took awhile, but it did it from the command line.

 

I'm guessing that the import process is running that same .sql file, only through the webpage it appears to hang.

 

Also in that manual it discusses a problem with the password encryption. I went into MySQL and changed the user accounts encryption to the old encryption, but that doesn't seem to help any of the problems.

:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

it woeked.... it worked.....Hay.....yaaaaahoo

i think the problem was that php5 doesn't go with mysql5 .... try downloading phpmyadmin ... run it http://localhost/phpmyadmin/index.php

if it works you don't have a problem .... if not .... that means php version doesn't run with mysql version ... so i'v downloaded php4 , mysql5 , apache 1.3 and it worked ......

GOOOD LUCK

;)

I would like to thank you ALL...

I just learnt that the reason for this error (I had a similar stuff) is that PHP 5 does not come by default pre-installed with mysql library. Once I added a package php-mysql, it all started working under PHP% + MySQL5 also

Thank you for your kindful help.

 

I met the same problem and just learnt it I used the mysqli library before. When I change it to php-mysql, it works.

Im running the oscommece on my test server ( FEDORA) i ve downloaded the libraries from http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/5.0.html#downloads

 

I downloaded and tried to install "Headers and libraries 5.0.41.0" under the "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 RPM (x86) downloads" part.

 

Now FEDORA gives an error saying that the PHP5 files conflicts with the "Headers and libraries 5.0.41.0".

 

I am going through this because I also got stuck on the 3rd step where there are 2 radio buttons asking for "Import Catalog Database" and " Automatic Configuration"

 

If anybody has a solution that ll be great

I think your problem lies not in osC bot more in your os... I think you'll have more succes on a Linux board!

 

Grtz,
