All ticked would be 777, so they are currently correct. To have 644 permissions, you would turn off exec (all three boxes) and the group and other boxes under write.
What I get from this is that your server does not have PHP installed. It's possible to install PHP on Windows, but it may be simpler to just switch to a Linux host (which will probably already have Linux installed). Your hosting company would be the ones to install PHP, so if they offer a Linux option it may be easier to just get them to switch you.

Matt, thanks for the info and advice.

Go to http://www.apachefriends.org/en and download XAMPP to your computer. It's a 1-click install, and includes all you need, Apache server, PHP 4 and 5, Open SSL, Mail Server, FileZilla etc.

Once you've done the XAMPP installation then you can use the Quick Install Guide to get your local testing site up and running.

Be aware that XAMPP uses php5 by default, but comes bundled with php4 also. Go to http://localhost and into your XAMPP control panel. Then click on the XAMPP icon to shut down Apache, click on the switch-php.bat link and enter 4 when the terminal window pops up. Then restart Apache using php4.

Hey Vger,

I went to apachefriends.org and the XAMPP install only show php5, am I looking in the wrong place?

Downgrade to php 4+. php5 and osCommerce are not compatible.

That was posted 4 years ago.
Is that still the same in 2009 - today ?

Support for PHP 4 has been discontinued since 2007-12-31. Please consider upgrading to PHP 5.

I am so stuck right here....

Noob... alert as well...

Get through the http://localhost/install/install.php and enter the database info. In phpMyAdmin I see te table and the data all there. But the install just sticks with "The database structure is now being imported. Please be patient during this procedure"

I am clueless as to what to try now.

I have been trying for hours to install the oscommerce to my root directory, I had it installed before but wanted to do a fresh install because I wanted the "catalog" out of my domain name.

I have uploaded all the contents of the catalog folder to my host root directory and changed all the folder and file permissions. Now when I go to www.mydomain.com/install I get a blank page that says....

Directory has no index file.
Browsing this site or directory without an index file is prohibited.
If you are the site's webmaster, you can remedy this problem by creating a default HTML page with one of the following names:


index.html
index.htm
default.htm
Default.htm
home.html
Home.chtml
NOTE: Filenames are case sensitive, i.e., Home.html is not the same as home.html

I do have an index file in there but still get this message. What am I doing wrong??

Thanks

Ok I am really having problems with installing osCommerce without the catalog folder.

Let me explain in detail what my setup is and what I have done..

1, I use iPage as my server/host

2. I have my own domain

3. I set up a blank database

4. My server File Manager directory just says "root"

5. I have installed the osCommerce before with using catalog folder and it worked fine, I did change the folder permissions to.

6. I since have gone back and deleted all folders and catagories off the server and my FTP to start a clean install without the catalog folder.

7. I uploaded all files and folders that are inside the catalog folder and left the catalog folder behind.

8. I set folder permissions and the other permissions for the configure.php files.

9. Onc everything is set I go to my domain on the web www.mydomain.com and I get a blank page, so i tried www.mydomain.com/install and I get that page that says DIRECTORY HAS NO INDEX FILE.


I really need help with this, I am lost as to what to do. Let me mention I did restore the original osCommerce setup back on my server so now its back and running again, but I really do not want the catalog name at the end of my domain.

Also the other reason i started a new install is because when i would click on the My Account or Checkout Links I would get a blank page.

Can someone please help, I spen hours and hours trying to figure this out and just seam to do it.

I am willing to do a clean install if someone could guid me through the install without the catalog folder. I have looked at countless tutorials and still cant figure it out.

Thanks for your time.

All you need to do at this point is to ftp the files and folders (with the exception of the admin folder) to the root of your site, edit the includes/configure.php file that was previous in the catalog folder (I think it is only one or two lines that need changing) and it should work again.

No need to touch the database, install again or what else.

If you get a blank page, there is an error. Without knowing what the error is, there is no point in repeating installs or try something else. You need to know what the error is. It makes perfect sense for a setup not to show the error to the customer. Probably there is an error log somewhere with your hosting provider. Try to find where it is.

If the blank pages are with My account and checkout it most likely has to do with SSL. Since you are apparently just setting up your configure.php file is setup to use https pages where this is not yet working (certificates and all that are needed for that).

I'm doing a new installation over server and got this error:

The following error has occurred:


The configuration files do not exist, or permission levels are not set.

both files are set to 777 but installation still can't go thru, and anyone kindly explain what is 706? thanks.

Ok, doing all this for the first time.

I have FTP'd the catalog folder to my root directory. Or so I think I did. I see the entire catalog folder in my CPANEL file manager. I have changed permissions to a few files. I can't get to the next step of the install process. What am I missing?

Thanks,
Aaron

HELLO SOMEBODY ASSIST ME PLEASE...I JUST FINISHED INSTALLATION AND I AM SEEING THIS ON THE TOP OF MY PAGE:

Warning: I am able to write to the configuration file: /home/wayne/public_html/includes/configure.php. This is a potential security risk - please set the right user permissions on this file.


WHAT DO I NEED TO DO? AND ALSO I AM SEEING THIS ERRORS ON THE HOME PAGE TOO

Error Messages

If there are any error or warning messages shown above, please correct them first before proceeding.

Error messages are displayed at the very top of the page with a complete background color.

Several checks are performed to ensure a healthy setup of your online store - these checks can be disabled by editing the appropriate parameters at the bottom of the includes/application_top.php file.
Editing Page Texts

The text shown here can be modified in the following file, on each language basis:

[path to catalog]/includes/languages/english/index.php

That file can be edited manually, or via the Administration Tool with the Languages->English->Define or Tools->File Manager modules.

The text is set in the following manner:

define('TEXT_MAIN', 'This is a default setup of the osCommerce project...');

The text highlighted in green may be modified - it is important to keep the define() of the TEXT_MAIN keyword. To remove the text for TEXT_MAIN completely, the following example is used where only two single quote characters exist:

define('TEXT_MAIN', '');

More information concerning the PHP define() function can be read here.
Online Documentation

Online documentation can be read at the osCommerce Knowledge Base site.

Support is available at the osCommerce Support Site.

Warning: I am able to write to the configuration file: /home/wayne/public_html/includes/configure.php. This is a potential security risk - please set the right user permissions on this file.

The answer is in the first post of this thread, point 4:

4. Make sure that the permissions on all of the folders are set to 755, and if that does not work then set them to 777. Make sure that the includes/configure.php file and the admin/includes/configure.php file are set to 777 for the duration of the install. Once the install is complete reset to 644, 444, or 400 depending on your server setup.

The text you read on your page is the default page after a first install, you have to edit the catalog/includes/languages/english/index.php file, which is your main page.

This thread covers a lot of install questions.
