SQL file does not exist: /install/oscommerce.sql

[greensled]

I am getting the error "SQL file does not exist: /install/oscommerce.sql" during install. I am trying to install a template from Monster and get this error. I have checked and I have the file in the install folder. Any suggestions?

Cannot find install/oscommerce.sql

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

You are probably trying to install on a Windows server.

If they were people - they wouldn't be able to find their own way home.

You need to edit install/templates/pages/install_3.php and where you see:

$sql_file = $dir_fs_www_root . 'install/oscommerce.sql';

 

Edit it to (change /path_to_root/ to real path):

$sql_file = '/path_to_root/install/oscommerce.sql';

 

You will need to know the path to the root of your website.

Check with your hosting company if you don't know.

Template monster templates dont work with the latest version of oscommerce i believe (if you are using that).

 

First try locate the sql file yourself. If its not there redownload the package.

Bam may well be right about Template Monster templates not working with RC1, as most of their templates don't even include the last 1 or 2 updates to osCommerce BEFORE RC1 was issued.

 

However, the solution to your immediate problem, the server not being able to find the install/oscommerce.sql file, is the one I posted.

Problem solved......I changed to a newer Monster Template that is designed for the new OSC. Installed like a charm.
