jdegrace Posted April 6, 2007 Posted April 6, 2007 I'm trying to install OSCommerce on a virtual dedicated server from GoDaddy. I launch the /catalog/install and it brings up the initial screen that says "New Installation" and it gives you checkboxes for "Import Catalog Database" and "Automatic Configuration." When I click continue it doesn't go to the next page; it just stays on the same page. It seems like the POST functionality of PHP is not working correctly. Does anyone know what could be causing this? Thanks!
Guest Posted April 6, 2007 Posted April 6, 2007 Just installed and did the same thing to me. Been working on it for awhile now and would certainly like to know whats up.

jdegrace Posted April 6, 2007 Author Posted April 6, 2007 I'm wondering if it's a PHP configuration issue; something that needs to be configured on the server itself? Just installed and did the same thing to me. Been working on it for awhile now and would certainly like to know whats up.
Guest Posted April 6, 2007 Posted April 6, 2007 I found this and I am trying it now. Server is restarting will let you know. 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.)

That worked like a charm! Thanks so much for replying to my post!!!!!
hotshot Posted April 7, 2007 Posted April 7, 2007 I had the same problem. If you don't have access to your php.ini, you can create an entry in the .htaccess File (on an apache webserver): php_flag register_long_arrays on cu ivo I found this and I am trying it now.
