Installation of 1.3.3 Loops? Please Help.

[travis@blueheronbags.com]

Hello All!

I am new to CS Cart (had enough with the bugs in OSCommerce) and I just installed the full blown version of CS Cart on my Fedora Core 4 Linux server. Everything goes fine with the first few steps in the installation, but when I hit the page where you enter in your database userid and password and my secret key information, I click on Next and it loops back to the first installation screen (which is the license agreement screen) and I am not sure why??? If someone can help me out it would be greatly appreciated...thanks!!!

Cheers,
Travis

Hi Travis

All i can think of is that you may be entering incorrect information, so double check as you go and keep trying.

Zardos,

Thanks for the reply, but I have checked a number of times. Interestingly, I had the same issue with the trial version on my Fedora Core 4 box with php 5.1.6 but no issues with my Red Hat 9 php 4.4.4 box...I am wondering if there is something in my php.ini file which is making it loop or fail???

Cheers,
Travis

Hello,

I was so fixated on the php.ini file as the issue that I needed to watch my domain-error-log file. Here is what I am seeing:

I will assume that the 200 byte limit is somewhere in the php.ini file and check that out first. Hopefully this is the issue.

All,

Okay, this was the issue!!! The following setting in my php.ini file was set to a maximum of 200 (not sure why, default?):

; Maximum size of POST data that PHP will accept.
post_max_size = 2000

I changed it from 200 to 2000 (as a quick fix) and restarted Apache and BINGO! Worked like a champ. Okay, so if you get to the DB entry screen and it loops back check your apache error log file for the errors in the previous message and this setting might be your culprit...it was in my case!!!! Hope this helps someone out there at some point :lol:

Cheers,
Travis
