Opencart installation problem

Question

I am trying to install opencart for the first time in my local machine. I am using xampp 1.7.4 PHP 5.3.4 and Windows7 is my OS. I try to follow all the steps describe HERE. But, after giving the db name, db user name and password when I press "Continue" button I am getting the following error message:

Variable 'sql_mode' can't be set to the value of 'NO_AUTO_VALUE_ON_ZERO'

I try to google it with this error message but do not find anything. Please help me.....

Answer 1

Remove below line from opencart.sql

SET SQL_MODE="NO_AUTO_VALUE_ON_ZERO"

you can find opencart.sql file in install folder

Above error comes if different version of mysql is being used.

Answer 2

Change the lines of code from the following files:

• install/cli_install.php

  Search for $db->query("SET @@session.sql_mode = 'MYSQL40'"); and replace with $db->query("SET @@session.sql_mode = ''");

• install/model/install/install.php

  Search for $db->query("SET @@session.sql_mode = 'MYSQL40'"); and replace with $db->query("SET @@session.sql_mode = ''");

Answer 3

Becouse at this time are 5 results on google regarding to this.... and i didn't found SET SQL_MODE="NO_AUTO_VALUE_ON_ZERO

I had similar problem. My problem was Error 1231,unable to SET SQL_MODE=MYSQL40 . Something like that.

I solved in this way:

1. go to system/database/mysql.php find line 50 or

   trigger_error('Error: ' . mysql_error($this->link) . '<br />Error No: ' . mysql_errno($this->link) . '<br />' . $sql);
exit();

2. comment the //exit();

3. drop all your tables from database.
4. refresh to resend

In this way the code will continue and the cart will be able to finish the configuration.

I hope it helped someone.

Answer 4

The issue is that "sql_code=MYSQL40" has been deprecated on MySQL since 5.7.22 (https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/sql-mode.html#sqlmode_mysql40)

My solution is similar to @Yogesh Sanger. Instead of setting the sql_code value to an empty string, I just remove the line $db->query("SET @@session.sql_mode = 'MYSQL40'");

For those using Unix, here is a command to remove the culprit

sed -i '/MYSQL40/d' <OpenCart Directory>/install/cli_install.php
sed -i '/MYSQL40/d' <OpenCart Directory>/install/model/install/install.php
