Hi,

I've just downloaded the stuff and am ready to install. I've created a blank database, extractedthe catalog folder and have changed the CHMOD 755 to all folders and 777 to both the configure files.

Now when I go to my website to continue the install, I get a 404 error. I've tried www.mysite.com/install and www.mysite.com/catalog/install, nothing works.

I've been trying forever to figure this out, does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Tnx

Did you upload the osCommerce files/folders to the root of your domain, or did you upload them to somewhere outside the root of your domain?

FTP to your website and make sure that osCommerce is where all of your other files would be, including your default holding page (usually index.htm or html).

So if your web pages/index were in the "http://www.mydomainname.com/public_html" folder, you would want the OS Commerce catalog folder to be located in "http://www.mydomainname.com/public_html/catalog"?

[Vger]

If your osCommerce 'catalog' folder is in the public_html folder then this is the root of your web, in which case the address would be http://www.yourdomain.com/catalog/install

Be aware that if you use a programme like FrontPage or Dreamweaver to upload to your website then unless they are set up to upload specifically to the public_html folder then they may actually upload to the first folder they come to.

Hi everyone,

      I got problems that didn't get answer, hopefully I could get helps here. Well, I have uploaded my catalog folder and database which I prebuild using XAMPP server into my hosting server.

      As Vger pointed out, I have to reconfigure both includes\configure.php and admin\includes\configure.php. However, I am totally a newbie, and don't know what should filled in the http_server (' _____');
I saw somebody posted here saying should be my IP_Address.

The IP_Address is it the Server IP_Address that I found in my Hosting Control Panel?

[Vger]

http_server = 'http://www.yourdomain.com'

Thank you Vger,

how about this one?   HTTP_COOKIE_PATH', '/catalog/');

[Vger]

That's fine, provided you installed osC in a folder called 'catalog'

  Do I need to change 'catalog' to anything?

[kirky r33]

Hi folks

Iam totally new to Oscommerce, big thanks so far for this install guide, but i have hit a problem and would really like some help,

I have installed the catalogue no problem so far, but when i try and go to the Admin index i get this

p.s i have changed Admin to Neils

"Warning: mysql_connect(): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) in /home/www/kirrey.freesuperhost.com/Neils/includes/functions/database.php on line 19
Unable to connect to database server!"


Can any one help!

Thanks

If you can connect to the shop front but not to the backend 'admin' then check your settings in catalog/includes/configure.php against those in catalog/admin/includes/configure.php.  Leave out the 'catalog/' part of that if you've installed into the root.

You have to download the file/s via FTP to your computer and open them in a plain text editor like Notepad - not Word or Wordpad (they're not plain text editors).

Hi,

I'm new to the forums and to osCommerce, and I'm having a weird problem.

I have Apache 2.0.55 with PHP 5.0.5 and MySQL installed (with PHPMyAdmin).

For looking at osCommerce for the first time, I'm testing it on my own computer. I've put the contents of the "catalog" folder into my Apache doc root, in the folder "oscommerce". So, when starting http://localhost/oscommerce, the installation page shows up. All's fine so far, I click on the Install button, the next page shows up "New Installation", but when I click on the Continue button on this page, nothing happens! I can't figure out why.

Can anyone help me with this, please?

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

Sometimes when the install is run, especially on Windows servers, the admin/includes/configure.php file does not get data written to it.  Check that file against the contents of the includes/configure.php file and insert the data as appropriate.

[christianwebconcepts]

how do you know what your folder permissions should be set at?

[christianwebconcepts]

so when you say all of the folders, do you mean the folders that are inside of all of the folders too?

[Vger]

All folders, including sub-folders, should be set to 755 except for the 'images' and 'graphs' folders which should be 777.
