Guest Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 I tried this before but I deleted everything and tried a fresh install. Decided to save some time and install the database tables first just to see if it would work. This is the FIRST error I get: Error SQL query: CREATE TABLE address_book( address_book_id int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT , customers_id int NOT NULL , entry_gender char( 1 ) NOT NULL , entry_company varchar( 32 ) , entry_firstname varchar( 32 ) NOT NULL , entry_lastname varchar( 32 ) NOT NULL , entry_street_address varchar( 64 ) NOT NULL , entry_suburb varchar( 32 ) , entry_postcode varchar( 10 ) NOT NULL , entry_city varchar( 32 ) NOT NULL , entry_state varchar( 32 ) , entry_country_id int DEFAULT ''0 '' NOT NULL , entry_zone_id int DEFAULT ''0 '' NOT NULL , PRIMARY KEY ( address_book_id ) , KEY idx_address_book_customers_id( customers_id ) ); MySQL said: Documentation #1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '0'' NOT NULL, entry_zone_id int DEFAULT ''0'' NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (addre' at line 13 If I go in and delete the single quotes then it will go to the next table and same thing. This is everything I have on this server that I am aware of: Welcome to phpMyAdmin 2.7.0-pl2 MySQL 4.1.20 running Operating System: Redhat Linux Kernel Version: 2.6.17.6_NEW Apache/PHP Version: Apache/1.3.34 (Unix) FrontPage/5.0.2.2510 PHP/5.0.4 Perl Version: v5.8.5 MySQL Version: 4.1.12 Send Mail Version: 8.13.1 Any ideas? If not I am just going to have to scrap oscommerce all together. I have done many zen-cart installs without this kind of problems but I wanted to give oscommerce a try. I still do.
dmnalven Posted March 27, 2008 Posted March 27, 2008 What version of osC is this? Have you researched the 1064 error? And I believe that early versions of the mySQL 4 series had issues. I have often needed to hand edit sql files to get past the syntax error messages. Usually the table wide defaults like character sets, engine and auto_increment, but I have seen the DEFAULT keyword cause more than my share of problems. Test some simple similar syntax directly on the server, using the mysql or mysqladmin cli interface, to get a feel for accepted syntax. Then do global edits of the table creation scripts. I'm new to osC, but I thought that I saw that there was automated help for this. For ALL problems, please review this link first -> osCommerce Knowledge Base

If there is autohelp I haven't found it yet, I have put several zen-cart installs on this server before and although I know there are some differences, and it may have dropped a table or two that I had to go in and put in manually I have never had an entire file get rejected like this.

I could get it to finally accept all the tables but not the info for them at the end of the sql file.
