Installation Problem - Stuck at Step-2

I am using OSC for a long time, but have never seen this kind of issue. I am trying to do a new install, but I cannot go beyond step-2. please take a look at www.lingerie69.com/install. The website is hosted at godaddy. Could it be hosting issue?

If you try another server then it will clarify whether the issue is server related or simply corrupted files from your desktop

Upon receiving fixes and advice, too many people don't bother to post updates informing the forum of how it went. Until of course they need help again on other issues and they come running back!

 

Why receive the information you require in good faith for free, only to then have the attitude to ignore the people who gave it to you?

 

There's no harm in saying, 'Thanks, it worked'. On the contrary, it creates a better atmosphere.

Thank you for your reply. I tried another server, and it works fine on the other server. But the thing is that the hosting is from godaddy, I wouldn't imagine is anything could be wrong with the server or hosting. May be some php settings needs to be tweaked. I am still stumped.

personally im having a problem with the same issue tryin to install milestone 2.2 with the php5 patched files i get the install will not go past the step 2 of install just loops and will not go past.

newest version of php5 mysql and it is an apache2 webserver

oscomm. 3 alpha installs and works fine but since it isnt fully released i dont want to use it yet...

 

 

anybody have a fix for this issue?

I am having the same problems, ive tried os commerce in the past and i beleive i had similar problems.

The test platform im using is a Dual G5 Power mac with 10.4.9, with latest php and mysql.

For a while i struggled with the basics, os didnt like the variables at their default value, i couldnt find the right one. Ive worked with the osx server line since osx 10.2 and its been a slow process, teaching myself as i go. os instructions say install phpmyadmin and create database i think, then go through setup import db etc.. Im sure there is a mysql gui tool for windows, ive installed one in the past, the one im using for the mac is great. But i cant even get past step 2 to find out which one is going to work better.

This one thing has been the major reason why ive never bothered with it before. If i can find the os 3 i may try it but hell i really need to get up and running with a ecommerce site soon. Might try and run khju and see if i can get server 2003 running.

Somebody fix this damn bug! :sweating: :angry:

I guess a lot of other people are having the same issue. I hope someone addresses it soon. Thank you all.

Nevermind guys. The link provided in the first post may not work. Because I ended up moving the website to another server. But the problem still stands.

yep..

 

I've tried it on 2 computers now.. both vista pro (IIS 7) , latest mysql and php...

 

one a fresh install..

 

all defaults..

 

both exact same results..

 

Stops at step 2..

 

Has anyone gotten this to work on IIS7??

 

Zencart works just fine..

 

If so can you post what you did to get it to work.. or the parts of your php.ini and config.php that we can check out, also exactally what was the procedure you used in IIS7 to install php?

Install gets stuck on page 2

---------------------------

The most common cause for installation getting stuck in step 2

is that most recent PHP installations have register_long_arrays = OFF

This needs to be turned to ON in the php.ini file (you will need to

stop and restart your server to get this change to take effect.)

Original poster is hosted on GoDaddy so the server issue is not the problem.

 

asimriaz I don't know why you can't get past step 2 I could! Once you have a failed install you must drop the tables in your database and run the installer again.

Im trying that one now, it didnt occur to me because i am not using php 4. Thanks for the help. Hopefully os3 will be near fully functional status, im very impressed with it. :)

In my case, I applied the register_globals patch before doing the install. Initially it would die() with the 'register_globals is not turned on message'. Then I applied the patch and now it also doesn't get past step=2. I turned on the register_long_arrays in php.ini and restarted IIS-6 and get the same result.

 

Hard to encourage people to use this when can't even get to the configuration point in the install...

Currently mine is unable to connect to mysql server with mysql password and login id, :/

 

its running and the management interface connects just fine using login name and password.

My bad. Setting the register_long_arrays does in fact let it proceed. Unfortunately, none of this stuff works under IIS/SAPI because the environment varialbes it expects (PATH_TRANSLATED) don't exist. They do exist in the $_SERVER varialbes.

open you confugure.php files and on the last line store sessions in mysql

 

define('STORE_SESSIONS', 'mysql');

 

Unfortunately it is getting stuck on finding the oscommerce.sql file. I.e. the getenv("PATH_TRANSLATED") and getenv("SCRIPT_FILENAME") are not in the environment on a IIS-6/SAPI system. Hence it's looking for oscommerce.sql in the root ("/") directory. I could patch my way through this but assume that these environment variables are used throughout.

Oscommerce runs on lamp with php, not Windows with IIS

 

Save yourself some trouble and download a wamp.

 

The first 2 are the best.

 

OSC is a drop and install on the Vertrigo Server.
