Magento Shopping cart

[RFH Reseller: binlid31]

I have been looking around for the cleanest shopping cart that is easily modifiable and arrived at Magento, so I download the test file to check and see if the red fox server is compatible, turns out its not. this is the file output:

Your server does not meet the following requirements in order to install Magento.
The following requirements failed, please contact your hosting provider in order to receive assistance with meeting the system requirements for Magento:

• You need MySQL 4.1.20 (or greater)

The following requirements were successfully met:

• You have PHP 5.2.0 (or greater)
• Safe Mode is off
• You have the curl extension
• You have the dom extension
• You have the gd extension
• You have the hash extension
• You have the iconv extension
• You have the mcrypt extension
• You have the pcre extension
• You have the pdo extension
• You have the pdo_mysql extension
• You have the simplexml extension

So basically I was wondering if it is an option to upgrade the mysql server to the higher version as this seems to be the only shortfall.

Only other problem though is that it produces the following erroas well
Warning: shell_exec() [function.shell-exec.php]: Unable to execute 'mysql -V' in D:\tepeedesign.co.uk\wwwroot\magento-check.php on line 28
Im assuming that this is related to the mysql version shortfall but can't be sure.

By the way I checked the code and it comes from the following line:

preg_match('/[0-9]\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+/', shell_exec('mysql -V'), $version);

So basically is it possible to do a upgrade or is there a particular reason why it hasn't been upgraded?

We run MySQL v5 - so that's not the problem. It is likely to be down to it using shell_exec to determine the MySQL version, shell_exec() and exec() aren't permitted on our servers as they don't fit within the security model of shared hosting on Windows servers.

I've succesfully installed Magento last month on RFH. Not problems found yet, but to be honest I havendt had much time to play with it. Seems really nice though.

[RFH Reseller: binlid31]

ah okay I see, what settings could there be that would differ from Rappie's settings allowing him to run the magento store but not me? could I have missed an option somewhere or anything else?

Thanks

for your reply, would love to get one of these running to allow customization

[RFH Reseller: Rappie]

I don't think your settings are diffrent from mine. You can ignor the magento-check error/warning and safly install Magento. You probably will hit a SSL securety issue. Here some info on how to work arround that: http://mymagentoworld.com/index.php?q=node/4.

OK I've looked through all of this but my problem is not detailed;

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in D:\shotchic.com\wwwroot\lib\Varien\Db\Adapter\Pdo\ Mysql.php on line 230


I ran the install, and it was fine, gave it my database details (server, password and username), and went to continue - at that point it should have gone through the database populating the tables etc, but I was faced with an error message similiar or the same as the one above.

Now when I visit the page I get the one above.

any suggestions?

[RFH Reseller: Rappie]

It's hard to say. I would suggest to manually empty the database en intall Magento again. Not sure if it will help.

[Pensive]

I just did!!!

same problem

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in D:\shotchic.com\wwwroot\lib\Zend\Db\Statement\Pdo. php on line 232


This is the exact error message this time - does it shed any light?

php memory heap is only 20mb, which is well below recommended heap sizes. IS it possible that the heap size was higher when you last installed magento?

Are you definitely specifying the internal host name for your database connection, eg. NEON rather than mysql5.neon.lon.periodicnetwork.com?

I'm having the same issue here and have also tried to empty my database, still not joy.
