It maybe that your files were corrupted during upload, or possibly before.

 

It can be a good idea to zip your catalog folder before upload, then unzip them from your hosting account control panel.

 

This may work, or you could wait for someone more knowledgeable to help you.

Don't forget to post back here if this solves the problem, so others may benefit from this topic that are experiencing the same problem.

 

Otherwise I'm sure you will post back here looking for a solution, and I will help if I can,

You don't need to type /install .. osCommerce recognises empty configure files.

 

Looks to me that what isn't recognised is PHP on the server.

Check that your hosting service supports PHP and MySQL.
