sinner8347 Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Hi All, Im new to osCommerce, i installed php, mysql and download osCommerce and unzip it into my computer under c:\inetpub\wwwroot and named it as oscommerce. i try to install the oscommerce using the web interface through http://localhost/oscommerce/catalog/install/index.php, i saw the welcome screen, left hand side i can see my php version - 5.2.4, PHP Settings register_globals Off magic_quotes Off file_uploads On session.auto_start Off session.use_trans_sid Off PHP Extensions MySQL - no (red cross mark) GD - no (red cross mark) cURL - no (red cross mark) OpenSSL - no (red cross mark) May i know Mysql - no (red cross mark) meaning i din install my MYSQL correctly? After i click on continue, i insert these value and try to install, Database Server - localhost Username - root Password - blank, i din put password for this (i din set password for my root account) Database Name - oscommerce (created this database in MYSQL but without any table inside) After i clicked on "continue", around bottom left, i saw testing database connection message, and this message just keep running and running, for around half an hour, is it supposed to be so long? or is it my setting wrong? Thanks with best regards, A.JAY Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrbuzz Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 I get the same issue with my installation It's on a dedicated server, the MySql installation works fine, there are already about 12 databases running just fine to multiple other sites. The server is Windows Server, the MySql version is 5, php5 and OSCommerce 2.2 rc2a The report I get on first install page is PHP Version 5.2.5 PHP Settings register_globals Off (tick) magic_quotes Off (tick) file_uploads On (tick) session.auto_start Off (tick) session.use_trans_sid Off (tick) PHP Extensions MySQL (cross) GD (tick) cURL (tick) OpenSSL (cross) --- As the user above experiences I get the "Testing database connection..." message and nothing progresses beyond that. Any ideas what could be causing the OSC installation and MySql to not talk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
