To run a succesful install and full functional osC3 make sure your server has a least the following setup:

PHP Version 5.20 OK

PHP Settings
register_globals Off
magic_quotes Off
file_uploads On
session.auto_start Off
session.use_trans_sid Off

PHP Extensions
MySQLi Yes
GD Yes
cURL Yes
OpenSSL No


To enable MySQLi you need to add to your php.ini: extension=php_mysqli.dll

After making those changes restart apache service.

It will not run on Apache2Triad.

No, that can be ON as well as OFF. I purposely tested it on two different servers: one is register_globals OFF, the other ON, both have no problem either installing or running.

i just noticed on the download page it is stated that the requirements with regard to mysql 5 is MySQL v5.0.7+. i wonder whether there is a missing 6 before the digit 7? as v5.0.7 does not seem to be common at present. in the past couple of days i happened to have access to 5 different hosts/servers all of which are big players in the hosting business, including godaddy, all of them is having mysql v5.0.67 except godaddy's v5.0.45, none of them is using v5.0.7 or higher.

anyway, i dont experience any problem installing/running osc3a5 with mysql v5.0.67, haven't tried on v.5.0.45 though.

thanks Harald for verifying that - i didn't check php website for that. the interesting thing is, none of the hosts so far as I can see ever updraded beyond mysql v5.0.67 despite newer version such as v5.1 had been available. i guess mysql may be in a bit of chaotic state under Sun Micosys. at the moment with regard to version releases. this is evidented by the departure of mysql creator Michael "Monty" last month from the company citing the reason being "disagreement over what he saw as the firm’s “premature” release of MySQL 5.1", but then thats another story.

More information gathered from the MySQL Announcements mailing list:

MySQL v5.0.7-beta released June 15 2005
MySQL v5.0.67 released August 8 2008

Perhaps the versioning means 5.0.07 and not 5.0.70.

Kind regards,

It will run on mysql 5.0.41. I have had no trouble on a server with Apache 1.3.37 / PHP 5.2.3 / mysql 5.0.41
The one that gives me problems is Apache 2.2 / PHP 5.2.9 / MySql 5.0.67
