having trouble installing shopping cart. unable to connect

[byunkook]

I'm installing this on win2k adv server using iis 5.

When I open http://localhost/catalog/default.htm

 

I get error message.

 

Unable to connect to database server!

 

How can I fix this

 

I installed mysql-3.23.55-win.zip, and php-4.3.0-Win32.zip properly.

 

I have green light for the mysql on system tray, and green up arrow for php in iis property.

 

 

I also have problem when I open http://localhost/admin/default.htm

 

error messages on top and also on bottom.

 

top error messages are :

Have you tried:

 

http://localhost/catalog/default.php

 

 

what's in your configure.php?

[byunkook]

when I try http://localhost/catalog/default.php

 

I get error "Unable to connect to database server!"

 

Do you have any sample configure.php

 

I'm really a beginner..

 

Please help me.

 

 

 

I read Detailed Installation Instructions from http://guide.oscdox.com/

 

It says there's http://yourserver.com/catalog/install/index.php

 

But the file I downloaded from oscommerce.com don't have install folder.

 

Thank you for the reply

[rseigel]

You need to download version 2.2 NOT 2.1 as it say repeatedly at the oscdox site. Read carefully and you'll have a much easier time of it. :wink:

Thank you very much for the quick answer.

 

I encountered problem with path.

 

I'm using iis 5 on win2k adv server.

 

so... the path is different.

linux unix uses / for path and windows uses for path.

 

bcause of that, I have this message:

 

Step 2: osCommerce Configuration

 

The following configuration values will be written to:

 

E:HobbytrainwebE:Hobbytrainwebcatalogincludes/configure.php

E:HobbytrainwebE:Hobbytrainwebcatalogadminincludes/configure.php

 

 

 

when I click continue next page shows errors

Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in E:Hobbytrainwebcataloginstalltemplatespagesinstall_5.php on line 166

 

The configuration was successful!

 

 

I'm reading carefully but this... :cry:

 

it says configuration successful but so many warnings :shock:

Is there any way to go around this warning?

 

I bypassed mysql database import error with manual import.

 

If anybody know Please give me a solution that will not popup any error or warning.

 

Thank you. :lol:
