you haven't entered the correct address when you began the install. you have an extra 'includes' folder there. the call should be /catalog/install/includes/functions/compatibility.php

So i should reupload install and then point to /catalog/install/includes/functions/compatibility.php insted of www.site.com/catalog/install/install.php?

 

Thanks for your help.

webserver root directory (path to the oscommerce-2.2rc2a directory):

 

/home/myname/public_html/oscommerce-2.2rc2a/

I hate to break it to you, but there's something wrong with the zip packaging. I get the exact same error on a brand new installation. All I did was unzip the download (on the server, not on my desktop!) and follow the URL in the documentation-- http://yourserver/catalog/install

It seems osCommerce wants its installation directory in the PHP includes path. You can do this by changing php.ini or adding:

ini_set("include_path", "<path-to-oscommerce>/catalog/install");

in <path-to-oscommerce>/catalog/install/includes/application.php

That is your error. Do it on the pc, then upload it where you want it.
