URGENT!!!!!! Problem when installing/configurating

**jman** · 10-31-2003, 01:47 AM

Hi

I am getting this error message when configurating the system:

New Installation

Database Import

The following error has occurred:

SQL file does not exist: /install/oscommerce.sql

Why?
The file is there!!!

Go back to the page you get before that, you should get a message something like :

"The file to import must be located and named at:

d:/clients/ohshop/install/oscommerce.sql"

check that the WHOLE filepath is correct, not just the /install/oscommerce.sql bit.

ok...

the server you're installing it on... is the path to the sql file as follows:

http://www.yoursite/install/oscommerce.sql

?

oh

I just found an error in the install program!! Are you using the MS2 MAX version? Because if so the program is looking for install/ms2-max.sql NOT oscommerce.sql!!!!! so make sure you have ms2-max.sql in the install directory!!!!

I am using this release : osCommerce 2.2 Milestone 2

mmm yes then that error won't affect you. what is your server root directory? ie which directoy does typing http://yourlocalsite.com/ go to? I guess it's www but is that correct? I am a bit puzzled as to what's going on.
