sormui Posted February 26, 2007 Posted February 26, 2007 I'm trying to install OsCommerce. However, it keeps landing on the same page after I have clicked "Continue" button in the "New Installation" page. The URL is install.php?step=2. It is trying to go to this URL but it doesn't proceed to another page. There is no error shown so I have no idea what is going on. Please help!!! Thanks in advance.

n4rc1ssus Posted February 26, 2007 Posted February 26, 2007 I've been having the same problem exactly. I don't know if it's just a broken install script but I got it to work through a host installer. If anyone knows what to do then please give both of us some advice
n4rc1ssus Posted February 26, 2007 Posted February 26, 2007 Ok, I fixed it but that sucked donkey testicles to do it. I went through all the pages in Dreamweaver and replaced all the stupid $http_*_vars to their respective $_GET or $_POST variables ... PHP obviously turn off registered globals for a reason ... why can't this app use the global arrays, in my experience it really is so much easier

Just replacing all $HTTP_GET_VARS to $_GET_VARS and all $HTTP_POST_VARS to $_POST, right?

Jbraz Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 I am having this same problem. I had a store all set up which I set up several months ago but when I went to it today to work on it, the admin section was doing what sormui described. I couldn't get it to change from the My Store configuration. So, I deleted everything, downloaded OSCommerce again so I would be sure I had the latest version and when I tried to install, I got to the second page and it just keeps taking me back to it when I click the Next button. I changed all the php files as suggested here but get the same thing. Not sure what to do now. My server recently upgraded both PHP amd MySQL. Am wondering if this had anything to do with it ? It is running PHP 5 now. MySQL upgraded to MySQL - 5.0.27-standard-log. Can anyone help ?? Thanks !
Shoseki Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 I have also had the same problem, this needs to be fixed asap or it will scare of potential new users/community members ;)

Hi, try setting register_long_arrays = ON in the php.ini file, if you are using windows you need to reboot, restarting iis isn't enough
Jbraz Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 What do you do if you don t have any ini file ? I have looked in every folder and no ini file anywhere. Tried setting the global on in the htaccess file. But I have no ini file anywhere. Can I create one and how do I do it and where does it go ?

Tried setting the global on in the htaccess file. But I have no ini file anywhere. Can I create one and how do I do it and where does it go ? That ini file should be in the PHP folder.
Jbraz Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 That ini file should be in the PHP folder. LOL ! I don't have a php folder. But, I called the server company and they said the ini file is in the root and they set it for me. But still it keeps me on page 2 of the install. I give up. Am installing ZenCart now to see if it works. I hate to because I have used OSCommerce before and knew a little about how to get it set up , but I just can't get anywhere now because of the install problem. :(

This is my 1st time to use osCommerce and I really want to get it work.
Jbraz Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 Editing php.ini doesn't help? This is my 1st time to use osCommerce and I really want to get it work. Nope. It didn't help so not sure what the problem is exactly. I don't get any error messages, it just won't go past the second page of install. I wish we could find someone to help a little more or figure out what the problem is because I too would really like to get OSCommerce working.
Jbraz Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 The solution is actually quite simple. Personally, I've never used this, but someone I know is having this problem. So, before I give further detail, I'll say that in the file most called in all the scripts for this application, all you need to do is add a simple few lines of code that test whether or not the PHP.ini configuration file has the "register_globals" variable set. When I find that file, I'll give you the necessary code.
areej Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 hello I need to change the variables for the purchase email, I already add text, but know I'm confused how to add the email of the purchaser to the confirmation email, so I don't need to open the admin each time I reply to customer to get the mail from there, can any one help me in adding the purchaser email to the mail variables. thanks

It works to me. Thanks. It goes to the next page. But I just restarted Apache only - did not reboot window after setting register_long_arrays = On in php.ini file.
