Quick Install Guide

[♥Vger]

Thing being I already have a ready oscommerce site on which I want to add the whole ebooks at once, can you shed some lite on how to do this please.

 

No, I can't. This thread is only for people who are having trouble getting osCommerce installed.

I'm really sorry this question has already been asked, but I've read through hundreds of posts and haven't found and answer to my problem.

 

I'm trying to run osCommerce on a local server, using Xampp. I've managed to install osCommerce, but I can't seem to password protect my admin folder.

 

I tried using .htaccess and .htpasswd files, and I'm fairly sure that the code was correct. At first, when I would try to go the the admin area, it would ask for my password, but would register it as incorrect (i assume, since it would ask three times, then give me an error page stating that my access could not be verified). But now, it comes up with a different error page.

"Server error! The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request. Either the server is overloaded or there was an error in a CGI script."

 

 

Do you have any idea of what I'm doing wrong, or how I can fix this?

[Guest]

I'm posting this here so that people who need to can find a quick Installation Guide for osCommerce. It goes a bit further than the Installation Guide in the Knowledge Base.

 

---------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Here's the quick install guide.

 

1. Create a blank database via your web hosting control panel.

 

2. Download the osCommerce 2.2 MS2 zip file from the downloads section of www.oscommerce.com, unzip it and extract the 'catalog' folder.

 

3. If you want your shop to be available at http://www.yourdomain.com/catalog then upload the whole of the catalog folder to the root directory of your website via FTP. If you want the site to be available at http://www.yourdomain.com then just upload all of the contents of the catalog folder, but not the folder itself.

 

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.

 

5. Then go to http://www.yourdomain.com/install and begin the install procedure. Your DB Server will probably be 'localhost', your db user name and password (for mysql access) will have been provided to you by your web hosting company. The name of the database you already know - because you just set it up. Do not enable SSL, elect to store sessions in the database and not files (untick the box), and do not enable persistent connections.

 

6. After the install create a folder called 'backups' inside the 'admin' folder (via FTP), and delete the install folder. Reset permissions on the two configure.php files.

 

7. Password Protect your 'admin' folder using the Password Protect feature in your web hosting control panel.

 

Away you go!

Hmmm. away we go damn i wish that true

 

Hello all, you can stop laughing and you can get back of the floor and yes another newbie

 

G'day, well i have managed to get threw all of the steps after hours upon hours of reading replies and questions (used all of them to get threw it :)) but i cannot find one that would answer my question i completed steps 1 - 7 and got to catalog and admin bit thats my problem nothing past here

 

if i go to www.mysite.com.au/catalog/ i get a plan scramble representaion of the os ecommerce and cannot go anywhere on the links no images just real basic

 

ok i deleted it and started again thought i screwed something up installed 1-7 np's damn i thought back to the hours it took me the first time to a couple of mins ya done

 

same problem the only represetaion of the site was under www.mysite.com.au/catalog/

 

ok i'm new my web page is www.mysite.com.au/html/ (that html folder has to stay) so in turn my install directory is www.mysite.com.au/html/catalog/install/

 

know i have changed it i ftp'd the contents from catalog to www.mysite.com.au/html/contents

 

installed it again with www.mysite.com.au/html/install

 

in step 4 www address i used http://www.mysite.com.au/html/

Webserver Root Directory i assume is right because it lets me proceed

 

done completed installation followed the documentation....pdf

 

completed 6 then 7

if i click the admin it takes me to http://www.mysite.com.au/html/admin/index.php = HTTP 404 - File not found

 

if i click catalog it takes me to http://www.mysite.com.au/html/index.php = HTTP 404 - File not found

 

but if i go to www.easygames.com.au when it loads i get a plan scramble representaion of the os ecommerce and cannot go anywhere on the links no images just real basic

 

 

oviously its something really simple i have missed and if this has been addressed i'm sorry about that

 

thanking you for your time, cheers ashley

[Guest]

G"day dam i got it going :) i have access to admin and catalog u-buety you can ignore my previous questions, i'm going to have a beer, have fun, ashley

[dacksal]

Can someone help

 

In my administration part it says i am nto ssl secured, but the install guide say do not check that ssl box. Is this related to my host or something else.

 

And also when save session to file or database, i had save file in the test connection and save database for the configuration part, am i okay?

[SimplyBea]

Does anyone know if I can use OsCommerce on my Yahoo website? I sent them an email and they said I have to use their shopping cart but wanting to know if that is true? Before I download and install OsCommerce.......

 

:(

Yahoo and osCommerce? Dont' even go there - not worth all the hassle.

You only tick the ssl tick box during the install if you have a full ssl certificate. Check with your hosts to see if they provide a shared ssl, and if so what the pathway to it is for your website.

Hi Vger

 

*sigh* I thought so - thanks for the info anyway...........

 

Looks like I might have to look elsewhere for hosting.............

Most people who go for Yahoo do so because they see the massive web space and bandwidth allowance they get - but this comes at a price - and most websites don't need anything like that amount of webspace or bandwidth.

I've followed this guide, and I'm getting a rather annoying error that I still can't figure out what went wrong. I uploaded the Catalog folder to my host (Godaddy.com, using the Deluxe package), I set up a MySQL account. Once I get to the part of the install where I enter my SQL information, it says it's fine, and then the next page tells me it cannot find install/oscommerce.sql, although the darn file is there. Any suggestions?

 

 

Hi Vger, I am on windows hosting and I used the above advice (the real path) to get through that step. Now my problem is the last step...it created my tables and connects to the database fine......I don't think it wrote the info it was supposed to in the two configure.php. I guess I know all the info it needs but not real clear on where an what to put in. Below are the two files, does this appear to be the problem?

 

Here is Catalog/includes/configure.php

Neither of those files was written to by the install procedure. You can either run the install agin, making sure that the configure.php files have permissions of 755 (and that you don't repopulate the database again), or else you can go to the Tips & Tricks forum where there is a thread on how to set up your configure.php files manually.

You don't reset the permissions on the file from within the file. Use the File Manager in your Web Hosting Control Panel to reset the permissions to either 644, 444 or 400 (depends on your server as to which is correct for your site).

Hi Vger

 

I have installed an oscommerce site which has ebooks already on it, problem being the ebook

description on all of them are not showing.

 

Can you recommend any solutions to this problem. :rolleyes:

Sall

[♥Vger]

Sorry ...no. This thread is only for people who have trouble installing an osCommerce website.

[SimplyBea]

Most people who go for Yahoo do so because they see the massive web space and bandwidth allowance they get - but this comes at a price - and most websites don't need anything like that amount of webspace or bandwidth.

 

Vger

 

Vger

 

I think that's because people new to the world of web design and e-commerce don't know how much we really need to manage a store, graphics etc........ I thought I needed the space for future graphics files for my store......

 

:(

 

Will see if there is a thread with this info here and try to get some hints on what to look for in future....

 

Thanks you anyway for the kind assistance.

Hi

 

When my oscommerce was installed by another person they installed it under www.mysite.com/oscommerce. Is there any way I can change the name of the directory to 'catalog'? I have tried using ftp to rename the folder, but that just stops the whole site working properly.

 

Many thanks for your time.

[♥Vger]

Rename the folder via FTP - but you then have to edit admin/includes/configure.php and includes/configure.php and where you see /oscommerce change it to /catalog

[yaani]

Vger,

 

I am having trouble installing osCommerce.

 

I have FTP'd the catalogue folder to my root dircectory. When I go to http://www.mydomain.com/install I get the following error "FATAL ERROR: register_globals is disabled in php.ini, please enable it!"

 

I have read previous posts but am having trouble understanding the fix.

 

I have a shared hosting account so I don't know if I have access to enable the global registers?

 

I have downloaded the Register Globals Patch Files.

 

Do I FTP the entire catalog folder in the patch files & write over the existing folder?

 

Thanks,

Yaani-Mai
