Step 1: Database Import

--------------------------------------------------------------
Warning: Cannot set time limit in safe mode in /home/virtual/site18/fst/var/www/html/catalog/install/includes/functions/general.php on line 47

The following error has occurred:

SQL file does not exist: /var/www/html/catalog/install/oscommerce.sql
--------------------------------------------------------------
i have checked to see if the sql file is there and it is showing as there

Hi,

I tried ensim and had nothing but problems with it.

Have you checked your paths?

[DenverDave]

It might be a safe mode problem, but before I'd go there I'd bet it is a path issue. Paths are very tricky to get set right with OsCommerce. Look at the first error message. I would bet that the path to the .sql file is not correct.

/home/virtual/site18/fst/var/www/html/catalog/install/

vs.

/var/www/html/catalog/install/

Try sticking the /home/virtual/site18/fst/ on the path
