New install just hangs..

[zerpico]

Ok I have installed this and I get through the first couple of steps, upto and including where you put the database name. As soon as I press continue it only redraws part of the next screen.

All I get is :

 

New Installation

 

osCommerce Configuration

 

Then the rest of the page is blank.

 

Any ideas? I have pulled my hair out enough tonight !

 

TIA!

You could be using an older version of osCommerce with PHP5 and

MySQL 5 - which will make the page hang - or it could be that Register

Globals is disabled in php.ini, or it could be down to this:

 

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.)
