n5hzr Posted July 30, 2023 Posted July 30, 2023 Greetings, I'm trying to install v.4.12.56860 on a GoDaddy shared server and the installation program has hung on "Unpacking Installation Files" for hours. I've copied the zip file to /shop and then navigate to /shop. All of the install options are green and I choose / to put this in the /shop folder. I'm still seeing the spinning circle hours later... I've done this on two different configurations with the same results. Ideas? -- Thanks Quote
pandrei Posted July 31, 2023 Posted July 31, 2023 Could you send me install.log file? You can find it in the root or in the install folder. Quote
n5hzr Posted July 31, 2023 Author Posted July 31, 2023 pandrei, thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, no install.log file was created. However, I came up with a workaround. 1. I unzipped the installation ZIP file on my laptop. 2. I used filezilla to upload the individual files to the /shop folder 3. First installation try from /shop was using php 7.4 (the number matched the number on the oscommerce install page, but the install page reported the yellow caution symbol.) This attempt failed with a database timeout. The error message reported it was trying to connect to a Maria db. Mine is a MySQL db. 4. Second try was using php 8.1 (most current on the GoDaddy stack). That attempt failed as well. 5. Third try was using php 8.0 (the one that members of this forum report troubles with.) This worked just fine and OSCommerce v4 is up and running. Thanks!!!!!!! -- mark Quote

I'm glad you successfully installed osCommerce v4. osCommerce supports PHP 7.4, 8.0 and 8.1 Do you have something like PHP selector in your hosting Control Panel? It seems the issue is similar to the one described here: https://www.oscommerce.com/forums/topic/507052-why-doesnt-php-80-work/?do=findComment&comment=1840915 Quote
