Markju Posted June 19, 2003 Author Posted June 19, 2003 the error that i'm getting is: New Install Step 1: Database Import A test connection made to the database was NOT successful. The error message returned is: Unknown MySQL Server Host 'store' (11) Please click on the Back graphic to review your database server settings. If you require help with your database server settings, please consult your hosting company.
Guest Posted June 19, 2003 Posted June 19, 2003 Before installation, did you create an empty database called store ? The_Bear
Markju Posted June 20, 2003 Author Posted June 20, 2003 Store is my server name, i use the default database that comes with the script. I have told the database to look at the default scritp?? Thanks, Mark
Guest Posted June 20, 2003 Posted June 20, 2003 The script is the tables for the database but you have to create an empty database before installation HTH The_Bear
Markju Posted June 21, 2003 Author Posted June 21, 2003 OK :oP i did that a it connected to the database, my next error is at the install page. New Install Step 2: osCommerce Configuration The following error has occurred: The configuration files do not exist, or permission levels are not set. Please perform the following actions: cd /usr/local/apache/htdocs/catalog/includes/ touch configure.php chmod 706 configure.php cd /usr/local/apache/htdocs/catalog/admin//includes/ touch configure.php chmod 706 configure.php i have done what it says, and even changed the mod to 777, still didn't work? Thanks in advanced. Mark [/img]
Guest Posted June 21, 2003 Posted June 21, 2003 You have a trailing slash in your admin address that shouldn be there: /usr/local/apache/htdocs/catalog/admin//includes/ :shock:
Markju Posted June 22, 2003 Author Posted June 22, 2003 i am not give the option to select the paths, the output that i have added in my last post was then output msg in the installation script??? i did not add the " / " in the path??? thanks in advanced, mark
Guest Posted June 22, 2003 Posted June 22, 2003 Is your admin directory *inside* your catalog folder?.... if not, you must change the path during install - the script probably cannot find your admin/includes/configure.php
Markju Posted June 23, 2003 Author Posted June 23, 2003 the admin folder is in the right folder and the path has entered right, which was the default path. thanks.
Markju Posted June 23, 2003 Author Posted June 23, 2003 I got it working (some how?) :oP The only thing i cant seem to get working is configuration part??? like My Store, Min Values, Max Values, etc. it says that the page can not be found? Pls help, i'm almost there! Thanks in advanced, Mark.
