[delux153]

Could you describe your Problem a bit more?

You'll need a Web-Server and sync it with your Database.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function mssql_connect() in C:\xampp\htdocs\webmall\core.php on line 17
Go to the PM if you solve
tell in detail
What software do I need to webmall

[nephren]

 Call to undefined function mssql_connect()

Since PHP5.3 mssql_connect is no longer supported.


“mssql” was dropped from PHP 5.3 distribution. Since the “php_mssql.dll” is no longer deployed with PHP 5.3, all calls to “mssql_” API are expected to fail.

I won't give support via PMs, cause if someone have the same question, he will may got redirected in here and can't read what to do.

whats wrong? i put all the files in my webspace and create a db names webmall, all the login details are correct.. i will browse to my website and ebmall, but i have a empty site oO

Cansas, stop writing in threads that have had no activity for months.. If absolutely needed then post a new thread with your question and as much information as you can give for us to actually help you.

Are you sure that you have set your "webspace" up properly to actually run the webmall scripts?

I assume you're not using apache to run your webserver, in which case, you are left with the hope that whatever "freewebs" service you are using actually allows scripts to access databases like MsSQL.

its running with apache i think, it is plesk

[castor4878]

apache does not prevent you to access a MsSQL svr, I even remember a thread dealing with the .

the awfull thing with mssql is not its not-compliant-with-not-ms-products side, that is usual, it's more its login weakness; no way - as far as I know, and I'm ready to learn - to perform connection over a asymmetric ciphered channel (such as SSH). Edit: look like I didn't update my svr for a too long time.

that point to highlight that a) connection to MsSQL are safer if the web server and the mssql server are the same host, and b) in this case for sure, apache (& PHP module, & any modules) can connect to it w/o trouble.

[sominus]

You can't access just the webmall? Or any page (with DB stuff) you upload there?
Have your tried making a simply 'connect + retrieve data' page to see if it works?
Have you correctly set up the 'home_url' in the webmall config?

[Truth1010]

As Castor explained, and Sominus pointed out. Try make a basic page in the same area you are trying to get the webmall to work from. A simple reg.page would work if you have set one of those up before and atleast know how to do that much properly.
If you know the directory you are trying to work the webmall from is working, then it's just a matter of checking through the files linked to your webmall, you could just be imputting a wrong IP, or Database login details.

And as you are using Apache, through Plesk (which wont be a problem as i have done/do the same) Then check you have actually set up your Apache properly, i believe there is a line or 2 you need to uncomment in it's settings, but that should be explained fully in the link Castor gave you.
