evedude Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 I've looked so many places now, and i can't find a solution to this problem... During installation, i hang at "Testing database connection". This happens on both the 2.2 and 3.0 versions. I have given 777 rights to both configure.php files, and the entire install dir. I have my hostings at one.com, and i have next to none power over hostingserver configuration. I have used the right database name, and password, i checked and rechecked and checked again. In my time i've installed several CMS, and PhpBBS systems, so i know a little bit about installing online systems, but when it comes down to the actual PHP coding, i'm totally lost. I hope someone can help me with this, cause im pretty much in the dark now.

All the install procedure does is running catalog/install/oscommerce.sql after you have uploaded all the files already and changing the two configure.php files. Both things can be done manually.
evedude Posted November 21, 2009 Author Posted November 21, 2009 Thanky You Jan for your reply, the thing is.... I'm a Git at all that linux/sql/php thing, so when you say manually, I don't know enough to understand what you mean.. R U talking about going into the database admin tool "phpadmin" and do something ?
Jan Zonjee Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 R U talking about going into the database admin tool "phpadmin" and do something ? Yep. As far as I can remember you can use phpMyAdmin to upload that sql file and then have phpMyAdmin "execute" it. In the addon section there is a contribution to remove all the example products and categories as far as I remember before adding your own.
evedude Posted November 21, 2009 Author Posted November 21, 2009 TY very much for you time Jan, i had hoped that i didn't need to go into too much manual stuff. Eventhough it seems to be the only way, does anyone actually know why this is a problem. I have come across it several times on the net, but never a solution.
