Install script problem

**KCinConyers** · 06-01-2008, 01:08 PM

I'm trying to install osCMax 2.0.0-RC3-0-1 on a local Windows (Vista Home Premium) test server with PHP5.0.4 and MySQL(essential)4.1.22 on Apache2.0.63.

I am having the same install script problem as Rabbit79 showed in his 4-19-2007 post. I get to to step 2 (after customize page) the page stays the same even when I press "Continue" button. No error's messages, nothing.

I tried the fix posted 7-10-2007 by jpf and changed the register_long_arrays in the php.ini to 'on' but still have had no success.

I have already tested and confirmed that Mysql and PHP are functioning together using the following file:

<html>
<head> <title>MySQL Test</title> </head>
<body>
<h1>
<?php $connection=mysql_connect("localhost","username","password")
or die("Could not connect to MySQL");
echo "Successfully connected to MySQL";
?>
</h1>
</body></html>

BTW, if it is important, I used the localhost/catalog/install/install.php file and got this result, but I also tried the localhost/catalog/install.php file as well. That file gave me the following error:

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user 'ODBC'@'localhost' (using password: NO) in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\catalog\includes\functions\da tabase.php on line 19
Unable to connect to database server!

Can anyone help?

Both have to be on:

register_globals
register_long_arrays

After you make the change in php.ini you have to restart apache to make the changes take effect. Also make sure you are editing the correct php.ini file. Windows can have funky file locations and multiple php.ini files that are not used... Find them all and change them all.
