Getting some errors after manual installation

[yos40]

Hello,

 

I need some help,

 

There is a problem with the regular installation procedure so i had to install oscommerce manually.

 

I filled the details in configure.php in the includes and the admin/includes files.

 

I now get some wired structure of the admin

 

I was wondering what you guys think happened?

 

Here is my admin configure file (database and server info is removed)

 

<?php
/*

HI

This ia an older vesion of oscommerce, if you are just at the first stage why not download the latest version and install that instead?

You can get it from the blue solutions Tab above.

Thanks guys, but this is a complete oscommerce with design and features already embedded in the code.

 

Still need some help, if anybody can figure this thing out

Your DIR_FS pathways need to be the full pathway to the root of your website. They would be populated automatically if you had run the install procedure but now you'll have to enter them yourself.

 

For an example only:

 

define('DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT', '/var/www/html/');

 

Your Document Root depends on your web server, so we can't tell you what it is. Ask your hosting company if you do not know, or follow this advice:

absolute path (put in file in level you wish to find path for)

-------------------------------------------------------------

 

To find out the full pathway to the root of your domain do this:

 

1. Create a new text document on your desktop and name it cwd.php. Ignore the warning about changing the file type.

 

2. Put this code into it:

<?php
$p = getcwd();
echo $p;
?>

 

3. Upload it to the root of your domain via FTP.

 

4. Go to http://www.yourdomain.com/cwd.php via your browser and printed on the screen will be the full pathway to the root of your domain.

 

5. Write down that pathway and then delete the cwd.php file from your hosting.

Try uploading the Admin Files again. looks like the pair files are missing.

Check you Filename.php first it might be wrong.

Thanks for the info Vger,

I found the absolute path but it still gives me problems,

 

I did not install the with the installation because i'm bumping into trouble with the step two of the installation.

I'm going through the screen that gives the option to "Install the database and add the sample data" & "Save configuration values"

But it always stays on the same screen, the address bar is changing to "install/install.php?step=2" but the screen just stayes with the "Install the database and add the sample data" & "Save configuration values"

 

Here are some pictures

 

Step 1

 

Step 2 and press continue

 

 

Step 3 stays on the same screen but
