oscmax freezes at install.php?step=2

[Cisco]

OSCmax install freezes at the following screen: http://xxx.xxx.x.xx/oscmax/catalog/i...all.php?step=2

I also tried to install RC2 and get the same thing?

What version of php/mysql/apache/linux...

[Cisco]

PHP 4 not sure which version that comes with Redhat 8 and MYSQL 3.2.5 also with Redhat 8. I had to reinstall on a new server and I never had a problem with the settings before on the other system.

Some pretty old software there Even though I recommend something more current for an install, it should work on that configuration.

Is it failing when you click continue on step 2?

If so, is your database server localhost? If yes, try the ip instead of localhost (127.0.0.1 usually works).

If it is not local, make sure that the remote server allows access from your IP.

Yeah, I know its old but I never had any trouble with it before.

OSCMAX, which version does OSCMAX work best on has it been test on all version:

PHP?
MYSQL?
LINUX?
APACHIE?

I know I have seen a lot of new version of the above list, so I was not sure if any new items would affect the OSCMAX version.

I have used oscmax 2.0RC3 on:

Apache 1.3x 2.0x 2.2x
PHP 4.0 - 4.4x, 5.0, 5.2
Mysql 3.23x 4.0x 4.1x 5.0.27
Linux RH9, RHEL3, RHEL4, Fedora 1,2,3,4, Centos3, Centos4

It works fine without any problems on any combo of the above that I have tested. I have also run it with no issues on a windows xp machine with Apache 2.2, PHP 5.2, and mysql 5.027.

This is the error I get when I installed the oscmax and manually configured the settings:


Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mysql_connect() in /var/www/html/oscmax/catalog/includes/functions/database.php on line 19

I am beginning to think that something is wrong with the settings between the location of the Apache, PHP and the www files. For some reason I found a new www/html/php file that is not in its place that has the php files. They are running off the root. Could this be incorrect where it is located?

[michael_s]

I think there is a server configuration problem, as mysql_connect() is a built in php function:

PHP: mysql_connect - Manual


Maybe recompile Apache/PHP

Well I am just one step (or two) ahead of you. My install froze at the same point and it was a wrong entry in my php.ini file for the setup. I made these two changes and now I am stuck on step 4...
