This appears when i try to backup the store to /admin/backup.

Try Database backup manager instead or simply ignore it (but don't try to choose gzip for compression).

Try also not to use this thread for unrelated topics. Thanks.

P.S. There is a German forum by the way.

Hi Guys,

I've just installed the latest V2 on a windows IIS6 Win2k3 server, everythings gone on OK but after the install I'm still getting the warning that it can write to the config file.

Both configure.php (includes and admin/includes) is set to Read only (write/execute/modify) all denied... Is there a way round this permissions problem or simply can you point me to the file check within the PHP so that I can disable it from there???

ThanX in advance

Kymmy

[Kymmy]

OK, found the check code in includes\header.php and commented it out

Hi, any kind soul could advise if...oscommerce can only be installed to .com domains?
I'm using byethost as webhost + addon .sg domain,
I have uploaded the catalog files/folders into the htaccess of my .sg domain and set all to 755 except the 2 relevant configure.php files to 755 permissions.

I still can't see the www.yourdomain.com/install.....
Please advise? thanks!!

[Vger]

You've probably uploaded the files to the wrong place.

Upload to your main domain, not the alias.

The root web folder is usually called /public_html, or /html, or /htdocs or /apache - if in doubt check with your hosting company.

Bear with me, I'm new to OS Commerce and PHP/MySQL in general. Any advice would be appreciated.

*I'm confused by Step 4, not sure how to set permissions to my folders or where to do that.

*I've uploaded the OSCommerce files to my server and created a database server, and then went to yourdomain.com/catalog/install/. I entered the database server name, user name, password, and database name to follow the installation procedure.

While the database structure is being imported, it just hangs. From what I can tell the database has been imported; it looks complete from phpMyAdmin.

It just stays on Step 1 of the installation procedure and doesn't go forward to Step 2.

This is the message I get:
The database structure is now being imported. Please be patient during this procedure.

Any clues to what I should do?

Thanks everyone!

Install gets stuck on page 2
---------------------------
The most common cause for installation getting stuck in step 2
is that most recent PHP installations have register_long_arrays = OFF
This needs to be turned to ON in the php.ini file (you will need to
stop and restart your server to get this change to take effect.)

Hi,

Brand new with all this, but keen to learn. This has probably been covered somewhere else, but not sure where to look.

I've installed the /catalog/ & subdirectories and then ran the install.

1st 3 steps were OK. Got to page 4 telling me I had a successful install. Then I clicked on Admin and I get a screen saying....

"
Warning: session_save_path() [function.session-save-path]: SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid is 32556 is not allowed to access /tmp owned by uid 0 in /home/gingerne/public_html/catalog/admin/includes/functions/sessions.php on line 165

Any help please?

I have it installed and

I went into Admin - worked well - I changed the settings I needed.

That was last night. This morning I went into the store got a couple of error messages on the store side (remove install directory and set configure.php back to 644). Did that and did both c0nfigure.php files.

I went back to the store and got:

Fatal error: Call to a member function add_current_page() on a non-object in /home/gingerne/public_html/catalog/includes/application_top.php on line 312

I changed the configure.php files back to 777, but this did not help.

I searched the forums with some/all of these words and could not find anything?

Help anyone?

The Forum Search function is useless. Whilst on the forum enter any error message into the Google Toolbar search box and select the Icon for "Search only on: forums.oscommerce.com"

Yay Vger, thanks! Finally got it up & running. but Can't seem to remove:

Warning Warning: Installation directory exists at: /home/vol5/byethost11.com/b11_2327256/yourslovingly.sg/htdocs/install. Please remove this directory for security reasons.

I've tried setting the folder + its entire subdirectory to chmod 400 already but the warning sign is still there.
Do I really need to delete the entire folder?

Thanks!

[geoffreywalton]

Why would the system tell you this if they didn't honestly believe it?

[Vger]

Whilst you leave the install folder in place it IS a security risk. Even if you change permissions on the files within it as long as those files can be served it can be used to overwrite your configure.php files, and your database.

I don't see the point in keeping it online. If you ever need to reinstall your website then all you need do is to upload that one folder again.

It appears that you are just creating problems for yourself where none should exist.

Error code -12263 usually means you don't have a ssl cert or your ssl cert is not installed properly.

IMPORTANT: You just made your database information public, a serious security risk.
You better change your log in credentials to your database ASAP, such as RIGHT NOW!!!
