The e-commerce.

Off to a bad start

Recommended Posts

I have a test installation that I'm not able to get started on.

 

It's running on Windows 2003 - IIS

Installed a basic PHP 5.2.6 with only mcrypt - mbstring - and curl enabled.

I've got MySQL 5.1.30 installed - but I haven't even got that far yet.

 

I tried loading the webiste - http://domain/catalog/install/index.php - no dice. It gives me a blank

return.

I put in phpinfo() just to check - and that's the only thing it returns.

 

So it looks like the includes are screwing it up or just getting ignored.

 

Any ideas on this would be greatly appreciated.

Exactly what is returned?

 

Seems to be several problems using IIS

 

Google with

 

site:www.oscommerce.com/forums iis

 

One for down the line, do you have mysql installed?

I did that google search as you suggested and I found that I had a very sloppy installation of PHP.

 

Tweaked a few things and for a short period I was actually getting the install page

...then I got distracted and wasn't paying attention to what I was doing....and poof I lost PHP all-together.

 

 

So I spent the past few hours looking at how to properly configure PHP on IIS6.

(turns out - the "doc_root=" in php.ini should stay commented and not point to

"C:\inetpub\wwwroot\" when your running multiple websites as I am.)

 

So now I'm back up and running with PHP but no dice on OSCommerce again.

 

I do have MySQL installed - and it functions fine for another test website I'm developing.

 

What I mean by returning a blank page is just that. no source code..nothing.

It's only when I inserted phpinfo() did I get a result...which just confirms that PHP is

working.

The 3 "requires" in the install/index.php file are not working.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
