Admin Install Help Needed

[aussie7]

I'm new here and this is my first post

 

I have uploaded oscommerce-2.2rc1 to my windows host and gone through the install process

 

at the end of the install it gives me the option to goto catalog or administrator

 

clicking on catalog works and takes me to my site

 

clicking on administrator gives a data base error

 

How can I login to the admin account to set my store up ?

 

any help appreciated :thumbsup:

I would guess it's probably the database details aren't correct in the admin config file. Seems to happen apparently on some windows installations.

 

there are two files; /yourstore/includes/configure.php and /yourstore/admin/includes/configure.php

 

Open the store one, towards the end there will be 4 or 5 lines with the details of the database server. There should be identical lines in the admin file. If not - copy from the store file and paste into the admin file.

This means that a table called administrators does not exist in your database called halfyou_hyktest02.administrators

 

From your ISPs admin panel click on the icon for database administration or phpmyadmin and drill down to your database there you can see which tables does exist.

Thanks I found phpmyadmin & administrators table is not there. I have no idea how to create a new table ?

 

I also found that when logged into my websites control panel I can get access to the oscommerce configuration for mysite :)
