kenkja Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 BryceJr, thanks for the info, just seen it after re-installing xampp et al & placing a physical copy of catalog folder in xampp/htdocs and I was able to browse to the install.php, presumably these depreciated funstion messages would crop up if I moved on further into the install thanks ken BryceJr, have followed all the links in your last post, the sourceforge.net download is now upto version 1.7.3, which by some stroke of luck is the version I have, so maybe I won't have the depreciated function issues Os-commerce v2.3.3 Security Pro v11 Site Monitor IP Trap htaccess Protection Bad Behaviour Block Year Make Model Document Manager X Sell Star Product Modular Front Page Modular Header Tags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look for XAMPP ver. 1.7.1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This part of the forum is for osCommerce Online Merchant v2.x support exclusively. You probably shouldn't use v3 unless you're very good with PHP and MYSQL as it's not ready for "production" use.

Freedom2 Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Hi Vger, please be gentle with me, this is my first post!! Thanks for the more in depth insight into installing oscommerce. I am wanting to initially develop my shop on my PC before I upload it. I am having difficulty setting up the database also. I have used the search function in the forum, but without exact string match clauses, there are thousands of hits, which are extremely confusing and relate to stuff that I am lightyears away from. I am using the Xmapp suite, and can see the database creation within phpmyadmin. How do I find out how many fields I need to creat, their types / attributes. Is it a flat or relational database? Has someone got a blank database that I could use? I really do seem to be spending many hours going round in circles and never getting anywhere. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Glyn :'( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freedom2 Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 What type of website control panel are you using? Cpanel? I'm not sure what is allowed on here, but I provide website hosting services that include Cpanel website control that comes with Fantastico installed. Fantastico will automatically create the data base, etc, and install osCommerce in seconds, with point and click ease. In fact, I'll step you through the process, if you want. If you're interested, just send me an email and I will send details. You can be up and running in a flash, really, no kidding. Hope this post isn't something I can get banned for. If so, please forgive, moderator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

themightydude Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 hi @ all!! 1st: i am totally new in using oscommerce, trying to build a shop for a friend.. so here my problem starts: i uploaded the "catalog" folder to the root directory of our webspace (host is http://www.mkq.de/), while there is no configuration interface for the account (to activatie /deactivate stuff on the server).. after uploading i changed the file / directory - attributes to 777 and opened the catalog - folder on the server in my browser, everything looks fine so far.. so the page opened and asked me for a new install, but the interface looks totally different to the one shown in the german forum - it' s the same version, for shure.. i do not have any boxes to check at all, omly a "continue" button for new installation.. then i' m asked to enter: "database server", "username", "password" and "database name".. when i enter the login - data for the webspace it says: "There was a problem connecting to the database server. The following error had occured: Access denied for user 'm2155'@'web1.mkq.de' (using password: YES) Please verify the connection parameters and try again. as there is no option to create an empty database on the server per contol panel - how am i able to connect to any database?? do i have to build one on the local machine and upload it?? we would be really thankful for any help and tips..!

test_richie Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 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. I have just downloaded XAMPP and i have found my way round it all ok but really for the life of me can't find where to do the above. Can anyone help?

strickerm Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Hello, I uploaded the entire "catalog" directory regrettably. Can I change this without having to re-upload and install at the root so that my customers can go directly to my site? Or would it be better to redirect customers to the catalog page?

Guest Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 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. And if you are on a windows server what to do? Also how do i make index.php show when i got to my domain www.blah.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards Mr Refill Hello, The first thing to check is that the files actaully are changing permissions and not just reporting a success, try again from your hosting control panel to set the permissions, you can also use 400.

johnnybebad Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Hi, I have created my heavily modified osc site, I wanted to know how I adpot the installation files to get settings in the configuration table. Select an sts template (not a major issue could set a default have about nine templates). Upload logo image and pdf logo image Insert store name and store url in an information page that is generic and only bits that change is the store name in two or three places and the store URL. ie welcome to STORE_NAME you can visit us at STORE_URL. saved i the database as an info page. bla blah blah copyright STORE_NAME 2010. also is there any way to automatically set the file permissionson config.php after the data has been written, My server will allow 444, and on hedaer_tags I need 755 i think. just need to know what I need to edit and example would be appreciated. Thanks Getting better with mods but no programmer am I. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynnk907 Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Please bare with me, I am new to everything. I installed OSC from my webhost's control panel and tried to follow instructions but did not see anywhere to put in the 777's mentioned in the install guide so just went about adding my products. (nothing looked the same on my computers, I tried Mac and PCs). I've backed up my catalog with all my products but how can I be sure the site will run correctly since I was unable to install according to directions? www.treasuresbylynn.com/store Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
