Installation problem on XP-AMP

[namid]

Have followed the steps in osCommerce 2.2 Milestone 2 Installation Guide.

 

Step 3 says:

go to the following address: http://[your site]/catalog/install and follow the instructions on the screen.

 

When I do this, the Index of /catalog/install appears, instead of index.php being run.

 

When I run http://[your site]/catalog/install/index.php the screen stays blank.

 

Have tested this with Opera and IE, and with cookies turned off and turned on.

 

Are there maybe any specific installation steps for Windows XP that are not mentioned in the installation guide?

 

TIA

Shouldn't that be

 

http://[your site]/catalog/install/install.php

Hi Tom,

 

> Shouldn't that be

> http://[your site]/catalog/install/install.php

 

Have tried that as well. Same result: blank screen. Html not being generated.

 

Proceeded with manual installation of the database (succesful) and making the necessary changes in catalog/includes/configure.php.

 

Tried to run http://[your site]/catalog/index.php with again the same result: blank screen.

 

Basic settings of Apache, Php and MySQL should be OK as phpMyAdmin and phpBB are running OK.

 

Looking forward to more suggestions!

Set error_reporting to E_ALL in your php.ini file and then reload apache.

 

The blank screen is a sign of a parse error.

Check that the source unzipped ok.

 

Post your catalog/includes/configure.php file without passwords so some of us can check it for you.....

Thanks Tom and Sparky,

 

Had to add C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\catalog to the include_path in php.ini. Configure.php is now found.

 

Remaining error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: tep_db_connect() in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\catalog\includes\application_top.php on line 65

 

Any clues?

Hi,

 

database.php is called but the tep_db_connect() function doesn't seem to get "passed on" to application_top.php. If I include the tep_db_connect() function definition in application_top.php the database connect works but then the database query function returns as undefined.

 

Does the configure.php for Win32 under includes/local/ play a role in this? It doesn't seem to because when I rename configure.php to something else the problem persists.

 

Any clues where exactly things go awry?

These settings in configure.php made catalog/index.php work:

 

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://localhost/');

define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'http://localhost/');

define('ENABLE_SSL', false);

define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', '');

define('HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN', '');

define('HTTP_COOKIE_PATH', '');

define('HTTPS_COOKIE_PATH', '');

define('DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG', 'catalog/');

define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', 'catalog/');

define('DIR_WS_IMAGES', 'images/');

define('DIR_WS_ICONS', DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'icons/');

define('DIR_WS_INCLUDES', 'includes/');

define('DIR_WS_BOXES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'boxes/');

define('DIR_WS_FUNCTIONS', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'functions/');

define('DIR_WS_CLASSES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'classes/');

define('DIR_WS_MODULES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'modules/');

define('DIR_WS_LANGUAGES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'languages/');

 

define('DIR_WS_DOWNLOAD_PUBLIC', 'pub/');

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', dirname($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['SCRIPT_FILENAME']));

define('DIR_FS_DOWNLOAD', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'download/');

define('DIR_FS_DOWNLOAD_PUBLIC', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'pub/');

 

// define our database connection

define('DB_SERVER', 'localhost');

define('DB_SERVER_USERNAME', '**********');

define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', '**********');

define('DB_DATABASE', 'oscommerce');

define('USE_PCONNECT', 'false');

define('STORE_SESSIONS', 'mysql');

 

Next step will be to solve this error: Fatal error: Call to undefined function: tep_get_languages() in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\catalog\admin\index.php on line 58

 

:(

Check your catalog/admin/includes/configure.php settings just like you did with the catalog/includes/configure.php. You may have a setting for the includes etc. not set correctly.

Thanks for the suggestion. Gave that a try but haven't succeeded yet. This is in catalog/admin/includes/configure.php:

 

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://localhost/');

define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://localhost/');

define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://localhost/');

define('ENABLE_SSL_CATALOG', 'false');

define('DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT', $DOCUMENT_ROOT);

define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', 'catalog/admin/');

define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT . DIR_WS_ADMIN);

define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', 'catalog/');

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT . DIR_WS_CATALOG);

define('DIR_WS_IMAGES', 'images/');

define('DIR_WS_ICONS', DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'icons/');

define('DIR_WS_CATALOG_IMAGES', DIR_WS_CATALOG . 'images/');

define('DIR_WS_INCLUDES', 'includes/');

define('DIR_WS_BOXES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'boxes/');

define('DIR_WS_FUNCTIONS', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'functions/');

define('DIR_WS_CLASSES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'classes/');

define('DIR_WS_MODULES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'modules/');

define('DIR_WS_LANGUAGES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'languages/');

define('DIR_WS_CATALOG_LANGUAGES', DIR_WS_CATALOG . 'includes/languages/');

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG_LANGUAGES', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'includes/languages/');

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG_IMAGES', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'images/');

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG_MODULES', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'includes/modules/');

define('DIR_FS_BACKUP', DIR_FS_ADMIN . 'backups/');

 

And this in php.ini:

 

include_path = "f:\php\includes;C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\catalog;C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\catalog\admin"

 

Any idea where I got off-track?

 

BTW, there is no configure.php in catalog/admin/includes/local/. Should there be? And, if so, with the same settings as in catalog/includes/local/configure.php?

It appears as though you have installed the CVS MS3 development version and not the MS2 "production" release. Is that so?

 

I'm not sure where to go with this as I don't have MS3 installed.

 

You might want to consider going with the production version, as there maybe issues with the "snapshot" on the day you downloaded it.

 

If not then maybe someone with MS3 installed can help out with your defines etc. in the various configure.php files.

The standard Osc configure.php's are normally in catalog/includes/ or admin/includes not catalog/includes/local.

 

Sorry I could not help further.

Good Luck with MS3.....

Have now solved all installation problems. What it all boiled down to was finding the correct include_path setting in php.ini. This works for me with osCommerce 2.2ms2 in the Apache document root:

 

include_path = ".\;f:\php\includes;C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\"
