Guest Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 Hey guys, I am trying to save a website for someone, more or less. Her web designer deleted all files, all I have to go on are some images and a Web Archive page. That points towards osCommerce as the system they used (cPath in links). So here I am... For now, I have placed the catalog folder on a sub-folder on my own hosting plan. I already have a test shop running on that hosting, with another provider, so it should work. Plus I was hoping to get into osCommerce as an alternative for my own shop, since you offer a module that my own shop only offers for $$$. It's GoDaddy, PHP5, MySQL 5 (which is currently processing setup). I created a subfolder for her site for now, will eventually move it to her own hosting. 777 set for all of her directories and sub-directories and files (during install.) For now, the install should be found here: tinyhamburg dot com/DBB/catalog/install/ But - that stays blank. Any clue what I am doing wrong? Thanks in advance, Gila

Guest Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 This is what my server directory looks like - so I assume.... yes.
phour19 Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 You are not alone. I just tried to install a fresh copy of v3 and I get the same blank white screen on the install screen. I too have the install directory uploaded. :o How to secure your site. A must read
Guest Posted October 3, 2009 Posted October 3, 2009 Well, let's hope someone has a suggestion; otherwise I gotta delete and go back to my own shop software. Which would be a shame, because I really wanted to give this a chance - plus, my software is German, the customer is in the US.
multimixer Posted October 3, 2009 Posted October 3, 2009 What is if you try to do a virgin install of RC2a? Also, you should get an error message, are messages turned off at your cpanel? My community profile | Template system for osCommerce - New: Responsive | Feedback channel
Jan Zonjee Posted October 3, 2009 Posted October 3, 2009 But - that stays blank. Any clue what I am doing wrong? No clue, but it is not blank really. If you do a view source: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> <html> <head> <title>11m2.de - Kunsthandwerk - Crafts </title> </head> <frameset rows="100%,*" border="0"> <frame src="http://etsyforeveryone.typepad.com/11m2//DBB/catalog/install/" frameborder="0" /> <frame frameborder="0" noresize /> </frameset> <!-- pageok --> <!-- 07 --> <!-- 7.12--> </html> For some reason another installer picks this up? You don't really need the installer. You can also edit the two includes/configure.php files (one in the folder catalog and one in the folder admin) manually and import the install/oscommerce.sql using phpMyAdmin. Does the same install but a little less convenient. Then delete the directory "install". I would rename the admin folder as soon as possible if I were you (change the directory name and change the new_admin_name/includes/configure.php accordingly). Add .htaccess protection to that directory too.
Guest Posted October 3, 2009 Posted October 3, 2009 Ha! Possibly my stupidity - with a forward that GoDaddy interprets as global instead of selective. Thx - that might be it, will try and add subdomain for now.
