Problem Installing OSCommerce
I was trying to install OSCommerce on my laptop last Wednesday for a web shop project. I download the latest version of OSCommerce from their website here. The version that I downloaded is 2.2 MS 2.
I have Apache 2 web server, PHP 5 and MySQL 5 database server installed on my laptop, so I guess I'm ready to install OSCommerce. I'm totally wrong.. I read the installation guide and it seems so easy to install, you only need to point your browser to http://<domainname>/<oscommerce folder>/install/install.php
The installation page does shown but I can't go to step 2 of the installation, it always come back to the first step although the URL already changed to http://localhost/oscommerce/install/install.php?step=2. I tried with different browser and even tried to install OSCommerce on Linux workstation, but all have the same result, I can't go next to step 2.
I also try to install it manually by creating the database and manually editing the configuration files. OSCommerce does run but it's broken on its administration panel. I can’t configure it or add items on its catalog.
Then I find more information on OSCommerce website, and here I found out that OSCommerce doesn't support PHP 5! I download PHP 4 and Apache 1.3.37, install it and guess what? OSCommerce installed successfully through its installation script!

Strange. Most application will work flawlessly on PHP 4 and 5, but not with this one.

the only thing you have to do than is changing the layout and adding the products to the database and adding the pictures of course. one day work I suggest
