Trying to install 3.0 alpha 3, code apears instead of text.

When I go to install/index.php, 'page_title_welcome' code appears on page instead of 'Welcome' text. Anyone know why?

Runing php 4.4.1 with register_globals off. I changed the name of the 3.0 alpha 3 directory to: http://www.my-wesite-name.com/_osc3a/install/index.php

Does 3.0 alpha 3 need to be installed in root directory? Can directory path names be changed (ie /_osc3a)?

Anyone have any ideas why this isn't installing correctly?

Try the installation naming the directory oscommerce. You can always rename the directory later by editing the includes/configure.php file.

It does not have to be in the root directory.

This should not be a problem. I've installed osC V3.0 Alpha a dozen of times in several places. Try uploading the files again and reinstall.

If this doesn't work then please create a ticket at the development server.

I have tried to re-upload multiple times (using cuteFTP). I have even used different computers. I have also tried with register_globals on and off and still no luck. I have also:
- redownload the source code using SVN and uploaded
- redownload the source code from HPDL's direct link on the announcement (hosted at Sunsite.dk) and uploaded

I did open a Tix (# 119) on Sept. 9th but no real response yet so I figured I would try again on this board.

Please see example screenshot below...

I have change the install path as I mentioned (ie directories are name diffrently and it is not in my root). Maybe that is causing something to go wrong?

[AlanR]

Have you tried my suggestion and leaving the parent folder name as oscommerce?

I'm not implying that the installation should fail if you rename the directory, just that I always start with basics before I try other things when I test new s/w. Let's find out what works and what doesn't.

AlanR,
Never saw your suggestion...the last entry I see on the tix was my reply to your question:

Are you trying to re-use the database from a prior install or did you start from scratch with a new install?

Anyway, I renamed parent folder 'oscommerce' and still get the same issue.

[AlanR]

It's obviously not finding the language files.

This is a shot in the dark since I've never had this problem and I've done many installs. So I've no real way to test my solutions.

Try changing line 32 in /oscommerce/install/includes/application.php

from:

require('includes/classes/language.php');

to:

require('../includes/classes/language.php');

You might be experiencing problems with the XML functions (specifically the way it uses references). Are you able to log PHP errors to a file to see what is going on? This can be set in your php.ini configuration file. (don't forget to restart your web server after making the changes)

Frank blogged about problems with the XML functions here:

So I decided to tweak some settings on my FTP app (cuteFTP) to see what would happen.

Re-downloaded source code from sunsite and re-uploaded this 'clean' code.

Now I get:

Fatal error: Class osc_languageinstall: Cannot inherit from undefined class osc_language_admin in /home/www/saludmediterranea/oscommerce/install/includes/classes/language.php on line 15

I wouldn't suggest that as it's a very flimsy way of altering include paths, but I think you have the right idea. Assuming the OP uploaded the language files, he might try finding this line in /oscommerce/includes/application_top.php:

require('includes/configure.php');

and below it, add:

if (strpos(ini_get('include_path'), DIR_FS_CATALOG) === false) {
  ini_set('include_path', ini_get('include_path').':' . DIR_FS_CATALOG . ':');
}

Did you look at the file?

require('../includes/functions/compatibility.php');

  require('../includes/functions/general.php');
  require('functions/general.php');
  require('../includes/functions/html_output.php');

  require('../includes/classes/database.php');

  session_start();

  require('includes/classes/language.php');
