tedjusko Posted April 19, 2008 Posted April 19, 2008 had trouble installing database followed instructions and on step 1 after entering database info, box on lower left appears with this message: The database structure is now being imported. Please be patient during this procedure. (with animated gif gear turning) Wait for a while...and nothing happens... passwords/usernames "localhost" everything is correct. could not find answer to this problem quickly by searching this forum. i looked at code file oscommerce.sql in install directory has all the info to setup database tables. so i cut and pasted it into phpMyAdmin ->Run SQL query/queries on database and created db tables that way. then to get to step 2 with keeping form posted info i created a page in same directory with the following html: <body> <div class="contentPane"> <h2>Database Server</h2> <form name="install" id="installForm" action="install.php?step=2" method="post" > <table border="0" width="99%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5" class="inputForm"> <tr> <td class="inputField">Database Server<br /><input type="text" name="DB_SERVER" id="DB_SERVER" class="text"></td> <td class="inputDescription">The address of the database server in the form of a hostname or IP address.</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="inputField">Username<br /><input type="text" name="DB_SERVER_USERNAME" id="DB_SERVER_USERNAME" class="text"></td> <td class="inputDescription">The username used to connect to the database server.</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="inputField">Password<br /><input type="password" name="DB_SERVER_PASSWORD" id="DB_SERVER_PASSWORD" class="text"></td> <td class="inputDescription">The password that is used together with the username to connect to the database server.</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="inputField">Database Name<br /><input type="text" name="DB_DATABASE" id="DB_DATABASE" class="text"></td> <td class="inputDescription">The name of the database to hold the data in.</td> </tr> </table> <p align="right"><input type="image" src="images/button_continue.gif" border="0" alt="Continue" id="inputButton" /> <a href="index.php"><img src="images/button_cancel.gif" border="0" alt="Cancel" /></a></p> </form> </body> </html> that worked to get going....but when i try to do add a product get this error: Internal Server Error The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
