Cs-Cart 4.1.4 Installation Issue

I am trying to install cs-cart 4.1.4 on a dedicated server but the installation does not start.

When I type the domain name it gives me the following message,



CS-Cart is not installed. Please click here to start the installation process: [install]



When I click on install it forwards me to www.domainname.com/install and gives the same message and

the following clicks on “install” forwards to www.domainname.com/install/install and this goes on. It keeps adding /install to the end and gives the same message.



Has anyone experienced such problem? Any suggestions?

I think it's a permissions problem. Do you have the permissions set correctly?

This is how it looks.



xendash [~/www]# chmod 666 config.local.php

xendash [~/www]# chmod -R 777 design images var

xendash [~/www]# find design -type f -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 666

xendash [~/www]# find images -type f -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 666

xendash [~/www]# find var -type f -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 666

xendash [~/www]# ls -lrt

total 66852

I just did untar the files and ran the commands in the installation guide for the permissions. It still does the same thing. Every click on “install” adds up /install to the URL and does nothing.



http://www.domain.com/install/install/install/install



I enabled “display errors” in the config file but no error message at all. PHP version is PHP 5.3.27, MySql version is 5.1.73-cll, Apache Server version: Apache/2.2.26.

If you are ready to provide us with the temporary FTP access, please PM me. Thanks.

I am having the same issue. Did you ever figure it out?

problem resolved in 4.1.5

Not resolved for me in 4.1.5. Strange thing is before it installed just fine (testing). But now after I deleted the files to start the installation from scratch, it does the install/ loop thing.



All the permissions are set correctly. The first time that it didn't work, I uncommented the url redirect line in the htaccess file, and it worked, but now, even that doesn't work.

eComLabs. How about offering a solution if you have one instead.

They probably don't until they start checking out what's happening on your server…which is why they are asking for temporary FTP access. You could also contact CS-Cart support via helpdesk.

Fixed the problem. Make sure the INSTALL directory has the 755 permissions.

Correct, thank you. Different servers, different problems, different solutions. I am glad to hear that novitas solved the issue.
