Install problems with includes

[fdgloworm]

Hello all. I am trying to setup osCommerce for the first time, but I'm not completely new to working with websites and database backends. First I will describe my platform: HP laptop, AMD 2.8 GHz proc, 2 GB RAM, WinXP Pro SP2 with all updates, wampserver (Apache 2.2, PHP 5.2.4, MySQL 4.1). Web server directory is c:\wamp\www\oscommerce\*.* (did not use the catalog folder). I followed the installation instructions, and install page views correctly. I created a MySQL database called oscommerce with admin/<none> and all appropriate priv's, then I proceed through all steps of install and it says the installation and configuration was successful. When I click either Catalog or Administration Tool, I get the same general error -

Warning: require(includes/languages/.php) [function.require.html]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\wamp\www\oscommerce\admin\includes\application_top.php on line 157

Fatal error: require() [function.require.html]: Failed opening required 'includes/languages/.php' (include_path='.;C:\php5\pear') in C:\wamp\www\oscommerce\admin\includes\application_top.php on line 157

 

This is for admin tool - the only difference is the catalog shows the error on line 288.

 

I troubleshoot, and ifnd out the db wasn't populated. :( Didn't know I had to import the SQL myself, but no problem. Did that - still not fixed. I continue to troubleshoot and add

$language=english;
$languages_id=1;

 

into .\includes\application-top.php, save file, refresh, now my catalog works. I attempt to add the same code into the .\admin\includes\application-top.php and I get this error now:

Warning: http_build_query() [function.http-build-query.html]: Parameter 1 expected to be Array or Object. Incorrect value given. in C:\wamp\www\oscommerce\admin\login.php on line 40


Error!

Unable to determine the page link!

Function used:

tep_href_link('', '', 'NONSSL')

 

Any ideas on what is going on and why?? I can't find anything specific to this while searching the forums.
