Install: Can't go to step 2!

[Eazyjd]

Hi there

I just downloaded the latest version of the script (v1.7) and tried to install it on my system.

Select the 'New Install' button
Next, check the "import catalog database" and "automatic configuration" checkboxes.

Well, after checking these two checkboxes, I click on "Continue" and see the same page over and over again!
Can somebody please tell me, where the prob is?

Thx in Adv.

The problem could be anything since you provide no information about the machine you are trying to install it on. How about some info? Server OS, PHP version, mysql version, web server and version?

It is like asking a mechanic to tell you what is wrong with your car over the telephone...

Sorry!

Server OS: win 2003 enterprise
PHP Version: the latest (5.x.x)
mysql: 4.1
apache: 2.0.53

I just installed it successfully on my debian box. So, I really don't know where the prob should be (it's not me )

And just another question if I have your attention now:
http://83.151.18.235/osc/catalog/
Here is the installation on the debain - there are some pics missing and there are still some lines like: BOX_INFORMATION_ALLPRODS . What's the problem there? I followed the installtion guide 1 by 1.
And I can't get into the admin-area: http://83.151.18.235/osc/catalog/admin/login.php

Fatal error: Failed opening required 'includes/languages/german/login.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/pear') in /var/www/ipbased/osc/catalog/admin/login.php on line 58

Hope to get some help

Thx

Ok,

Your problem is mysql 4.1. osC is not compatible with it. Down grade to 4.0.x.

Next, the debian install:
Re-upload the image directory. It looks like some images did not get uploaded correctly.

The text constants missing, like BOX_INFORMATION_ALLPRODS is most likely because you are switching from english to another language. Same for the errors in the admin. The other languages are not fully installed. There will be files missing in /german and /spanish. Copy the missing files from languages/english dir, to the language you want to use.

It would also be a good idea to compare /languages/english.php to german.php and spanish.php and add anything to them that is missing.

Hey,

Before downgrading mysql, you may want to try editing this setting in php.ini to On:

register_long_arrays = On

It is off by default and that could be causing your problem...

Hmm.. just upload it again - no changes at all - if you check the image-properties, you will see that there is a wrong property of the image place!

You are right. If I change to english (http://83.151.18.235/osc/catalog/index.php?language=en) there is everything ok. But the images are still missing...

Oh mate, you are a genius! This did the trick on my local installation - the images are also all there here, so it must have ben an error on the installation or something.

But when I try to login to the admin section, I get this strange error:

PHP Fatal error: Cannot re-assign $this in D:\wip\oscommerce\catalog\admin\includes\classes\u pload.php on line 31

I really hope, this is the last thing I will bother you with

That is an easy one. Comment out line 31 in D:\wip\oscommerce\catalog\admin\includes\classes\u pload.php

It is a php compatibility issue...

I see - now everything works perfect!

I also modified some language files for the german text - if you want, I can send you the corrected files...

Many Many Many Many [...] Thanks four your quick and perfect help!

Best wishes

You are welcome. Yes, please send me the updated german language files. I would love to get a full translation installed into the osCMax dowload. You can post them to the forum as an attachment, or email a zip of them to admin@oscdox.com... Thanks!
