Error during Database setup on windows virtual machine

[dancingchimes]

page_parameters text NOT NULL

doesn't work either. It errors on line 125 for 'gzpost'. I also changed that line to gzpost mediumblob NOT NULL

And the installation went through successfully.

BTW, your documentation on how to change the admin folder needs to be updated also. The line no longer shows the simple directory/folder name, instead it's a parse statement:

define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', preg_replace('#^' . str_replace('-', '\-', $p1) . '#', '', dirname($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'])) . '/');

Please advise how to achieve this part of the installation.

Hello Drbyte

Just to confirm with dancingchimes above, changing the page_parameters text NOT NULL did not fix it.
I then made the same change as dancingchimes namely gzpost mediumblob NOT NULL

The installation then proceeded successfully.

and to follow further in dancingchimes footsteps. I am not sure how to edit the configure.php file after renaming my admin folder

Thanks

Both of you didn't read the instructions, and just skipped right over the bold text saying that you don't need to do the configure.php edits in v1.5.0
But, to indulge, the document has been updated with a new dedicated section specific to 1.5.0 so that people will hopefully actually read the full details.

apologies, in all the excitment forgot to RTFM ;)
will continue the installing.

Guess we can close this thread

Thanks Again

Hello EastBoy!

Your changes in the sql file worked for me as well. I am using a fresh install of ZenCart 1.50 on a localhost installation using Apache 2.2/PhP 5.4.11/MySQL 5.6.10.0 and phpMyAdmin 3.5.6

Thanks Again!!!!

I would add that those changes are no longer needed in the latest version of Zen Cart.

Ok. One more thing. After the installation, I can go into the store ok but not the admin part. It complained that gzpost doesn't have a default value. I went into the database, in the 'admin-activity-log' table. Found gzpost and changed its value to 'null'. Not the default null but checking the null (from phpMyAdmin). Not familiar enough with mysql to tell what the difference is. But it worked for me. I can get into the admin section now.

This site was down for a bit, now it's back. I think this is the last one I'll post on the installation problem. I went ahead and changed the name of the admin folder and used it to get into the admin section. I didn't have to change anything in the configure.php.

[eastboy]

thanks for the extra info dancingchimes I will try the same on my side

[eastboy]

I managed to install and can access the new store, however when I try go to the renamed admin folder I get

an Error occured please refresh and try again.
