Magento

I cannot get this thing installed and I have installed many other ecommerce stores liek Zencart and OSCommerce. I thinkl it might have to do with the mod-rewrite which I don’t believe I can turn on. here is my server info (I know it says PHP 4.4.7 but I turned on the option for PHP 5

(Run my web applications and scripts using PHP 5) :

well what errors are you encountering?

and you are positive its running under php5 with the modules required by magento? (what does phpinfo() say?)

See image that I have attached.

And my host says mod_rewrite is enabled.

Make sure:

php_flag short_open_tag on

is turned on in your .htaccess file.

Here is what my hosting company said. Hopefully you can make heads or tails out of it.

Hello,

Thank you for contacting our Technical Support Department.

Please note that the permissions of the folders was 775. I have change them to 755 in order to be operational ( the scripts need to be 755 too). Also I have noticed that in the .htaccess file in the mentioned folder, there are directives which are not allowed on our servers due security reasons. These directives are “php_value”, “php_flag”, “SSLOptions” and “Options”. I have disabled them by adding the symbol # at the beginning of the line. Please note that you can change the php values and directives from the php.ini file located in the /sys/php4/ or /sys/php5/ (depends from the PHP settings applied for your account). Now your site is accessible, but there are some script errors, probably caused from the php directives which you need to change.

If there is anything else we can do for you, please let us know. You are always welcome.

Best Regards,
Jimmy

I’m still getting the above error

Did you put the php setting in /sys/php5/php.ini?

What aboutthe other warnings the hosting company told me about?

Make sure:

php_flag short_open_tag on

is turned on in your .htaccess file.

It was that first line. I will let you know how it goes. Hopefully the other stuff the host mentioned is not a problem. PLEASE CONFIRM.

What do I need to move it to another directory?

Also, if I want it to update remotely (one of the options in the setup) what do I need to do?

Can anyone answer my other questions?
