pre-installation issue

[amranil]

:huh: Hi,

 

My server is hosted in web.com. web.com setup my database and MySql is up and running.

I am trying to follow the steps but I am stuck in step 5.

 

1. What is the meaning of Step 5.

 

2. There is NO "http://www.yourdomain.com/install" install procedure.

When I type “http://www.mydomain.com/install”, I get this error "The file you requested was not found on this Web site. Click here to return to the previous page. Error Code: 404" and the install directory doesn't exist in the catalog directory or the oscommerce zip file

 

Please I need some guidance.

 

Thank you in Advance for your help.

 

Best Regards,

Is it possible you installed the files to a subdirectory? If so you'd need to add that to the path.

 

What your browser is doing is trying to load www.yourdomain.com/install/index.php.

 

The error suggests it simply isn't there.

 

Perhaps for example you put the shop files in www.yourdomain.com/store, in which case you'd need to navigate to www.yourdomain.com/store/install

 

Check via ftp what your directory structure really is. Another (admittedly unlikely) thing that would maybe cause this is if your webhost hasn't set up your domain to parse php files - it would then default to looking for index.htm or html, which isn't there. Have you tried loading the actual page - try navigating to www.yourdomain.com/install/index.php

 

Alternatively, if the file really isn't there, download it again!
