I first tried an osCommerce install on a development server and it worked like a charm.

I uploaded the same snapshot to my webhost and I immediately start getting some path errors during installation.

Warning: main(includes/functions/general.php) [function.main]: failed to create stream: No such file or directory in /www2/R/rm/web/www.mysite.com/catalog/install/includes/application.php on line 28

Fatal error: main() [function.main]: Failed opening required 'includes/functions/general.php' (include_path='/www2/R/rm/web/www.mysite.com/') in /www2/R/rm/web/www.mysite.com/catalog/install/includes/application.php on line 28

How do I proceed? Correct all paths manually? There must be an easier way...
