[americamba]

Hi guys,

 

got to step 3 but got stopped with this message:

...........................................

New Install

 

Step 1: Database Import

 

 

Warning: Cannot set time limit in safe mode in /home/virtual/site211/fst/var/www/html/catalog/install/includes/functions/general.php on line 47

 

The following error has occurred:

 

SQL file does not exist: /var/www/html/catalog/install/oscommerce.sql

 

any ideas for this poor soul?

 

Thanks, Frank :(

Either you didn't upload the install-dir completely, and the oscommerce.sql file is missing in that.

 

Or: the path in the installation is wrong. Don't change the path's unless you know why :wink: .

Olby Thanks,

 

I thought I entered my data in correctly but I got the following error message again!

 

Warning: Cannot set time limit in safe mode in /home/virtual/site211/fst/var/www/html/catalog/install/includes/functions/general.php on line 47

 

The following error has occurred:

 

SQL file does not exist: bookslibros.com/catalog/install/oscommerce.sql

.....................

 

But the oscommerce.sql IS present so I must have done wrong the path in the installation as you suggest. As a matter of fact, I have no idea of what I should enter on page 1 of the instalation. I try to follow the guide but I am not sure.

 

This is what I put in:

 

WebServer Root Directory.

usually /home/myname/public_html.

I entered: bookslibros.com

 

Webserver Catalog Direcotry

usually /home/myname/public_html/catalog/.

I entered: /catalog/

 

Webserver Administration Tool Directory

usually /home/myname/public_html/catalog/admin/.

I entered:/catalog/admin/

 

WWW Catalog Directory

usually /catalog/.

I entered: /catalog/

 

WWW Administration Tool Directory

usually /catalog/admin/.

I entered: /catalog/admin/

 

Database Server

I entered: localhost

 

then username, password and databasename...

 

Any help would be appreciated. I know I am entering in the wrong info for the webserver entries but I have tried all permutations

 

Thanks, Frank

I don't think osc works in safe mode. You need to get in touch with your host about that. You could also try searching these forums for *safe mode*. Its something that has come up quite a few times.

Hi, I checked on safe mode in search as suggested. The solution seems to be to turn it off. But I don't know where. I search for the file php.ini and can't find it. The following was a response. Seems authoritative but how?

............................

php.ini.... Code:

safe_mode=off

[/code]

Thanks, Frank

php.ini is a systemfile, and unless you are on your own server, you have to contact your ISP, to make this change.
