Installation Doesn't Proceed Beyond Step 1

[libas]

I am trying to install OSCommerce 2.2 on my local machine running Windows XP with SP2. Right now I am working on it as a localhost. I have already installed the following:

 

1) Apache 2.0

2) PHP 5.2.2

3) mySql Server 5.0

 

I have made the changes to php.ini (turned the register_globals On), saved the php.ini, php5ts.dll and libmysql.dll to the System32 folder. I have also created a database, username and password in mySql. I also saved the catalog folder to the htdocs folder in Apache. The only thing that I am doing different is that all the above are in my Web folder on a separate partition on my hard drive (and hence, not under the Program Files)

 

However, when I go to my localhost/catalog/install and try to install OSCommerce, its not going beyond the 1st step. Clicking the "continue" button brings me back to the first page of the installation. I have tried restarting Apache and I have also restarted my machine (just to make sure that the settings are in place).

 

Any ideas/ suggestions?????

 

Thanks in advance.

Check if register_long_arrays is on in the php.ini

Check if register_long_arrays is on in the php.ini

Create a new php file and call it phpinfo.php, put only the following line in it:

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

 

Put this file in your catalog folder and access it with the webbrowser. Now check in the left column if the values for globals and long_arrays are correct. Otherwise the php.ini file you edited is probably not loaded (could be more instances), or you have to restart your pc / webserver before changes take effect.
