Installing in xampp

[wetjet550]

I'm running a the latest version of xampp on windows 7. I'm trying to install an old version of squirrelcart, version 2.6.5, in attempt to upgrade my website to the latest 3.3.3. I've made the database in mysql, and everything is going fine until it tries to populate the database with the new install, and I get "Database install failed".

Also, I can't load a copy of my current store in xampp because I get errors:

Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in C:\xampp\htdocs\dt\dt\squirrelcart\includes\browse r_detect\get_browser_info.php on line 45

Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in C:\xampp\htdocs\dt\dt\squirrelcart\includes\browse r_detect\get_browser_info.php on line 51

Anybody ever run into this?

I'm thinking it's a .ini problem within xampp somewhere.

If you are trying to put a copy of an already working Squirrelcart install on a test server you are better off importing your SQL backup directly into an empty database using phpMyAdmin. Then, just update your squirrelcart/config.php file with your changes. There is no need to run our install script to move an install, though if you want to these steps should also work:

That's a bug made present by using PHP 5.3 or newer:
