Hi all...

 

For everyone that has problems with hanging at Step 2 with a narrow graphic at the top of the page and the words "Import Database".

 

Every question I have seen on this forum says...

 

"Make sure register_globals - On and register_long_arrays = On" For allot of people this was the correct fix. But there were some that it still didn't solve the problem.

 

Of course you must have both register_globals and long_arrays set to On, but there is also another more subtle problem.

 

I did both of these and still I had the problem when installing a new osCommerce site.

 

I was banging my head for hours trying to figure out what the heck was wrong. And here is where I had the problem...

 

Make sure that "extension=php_mysql.dll" is enabled in the php.ini file and you have the two connector files (libmysql.dll and php_mysql.dl) in the php directory.

 

If you see ";extension=php_mysql.dll" in the php.ini file that means it is a comment and will be ignored. Remove the ";".

 

I know it is an easy problem, but it is also easy to over look.
