Install problems

[Marion]

Hi Community, I am struggling with the installation of OScommerce.When the install is almost finished, I get the following lengthy error message:

 

 

New Installation

 

osCommerce Configuration

The configuration was successful!

 

 

 

This is where I got stuck until I learned that I had to manually edit the two configure.php files and supply database server, username and password. Then, I got one step further (thanks, forum people!). I made it to the /catalog/admin/index.php file, where the following error message awaited me:

 

 

Warning: open(/tmp\sess_d6bb2b847fcdd47ba2f563fe03c982cd, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in E:\Clients\ev-familien-bildungsstaette.de\www\friedberg\shop\catalog\admin\includes\functions\sessions.php on line 67

 

Now, I am stuck on this page, every admin link I click here returns a CGI error:

 

 

The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers. The headers it did return are:

 

 

If anyone has an idea what do do here, I'd much appreciate it!

 

Thanks

Hi again, I managed to get rid of the first error messages. I created /tmp folders in just about every directory, but what really helped was to add 'mysql' to the session variable both configure.php files. (there was a comment to to leave it empty for the default handler, but empty didn't work)

 

  define('STORE_SESSIONS', 'mysql');

 

So, one problem solved. However, the admin panel is still returning that nasty CGI error. I hate when CGI application misbehave ;-)

 

Any ideas??

 

Cheers and thanks

Did you get this sorted as I am having the same problem

Hi Charlie, sorry, I forgot to post my solution in this thread. I think what made my CGI error go away in the end was that I corrected the path in the "configure.php" files. My OScommerce application is not in the root directory but quite a few levels down, so I had to put in the whole path to its location.
