Post-Step 7 PHP errors on Mac (Newbie)

[David S123]

Help please ? I?ve downloaded oscommerce-2.2ms2 and installed it in /Library/Webserver/Documents. In fact, installed it twice, once following the osCommerce New Installation procedures, and once using guidance from http://www.macservers.org/feature-4.html (the latter meaning no need to change the php.ini file for register_globals). Both installations reported ?The configuration was successful!? and gave me the Catalog and Administration buttons.

 

Clicking on Catalog produces:

Warning: main(includes/languages/.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /Library/WebServer/Documents/catalog/includes/application_top.php on line 285

 

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'includes/languages/.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/php/lib/php') in /Library/WebServer/Documents/catalog/includes/application_top.php on line 285

 

Whereas clicking on Administration generates:

Warning: main(includes/languages/.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /Library/WebServer/Documents/catalog/admin/includes/application_top.php on line 130

 

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'includes/languages/.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/php/lib/php') in /Library/WebServer/Documents/catalog/admin/includes/application_top.php on line 130

 

I?ve had a quick look at the code (am a PHP newbie though) and the problem seems to be the language identifier is not being picked up so it can load the english.php file. May be a permissions issue of course. Following something I read on the forum, I changed permissions on the two configure.php files to 706 but no difference.

 

This occurs with both Safari (see below) and IE5.2.3. Configuration is Mac G4 on 10.3.4 with all latest Apple updates installed ? and I?m running as Admin. Had a look at the forums but failed to find anything that seemed to relate to this problem. All suggestions gratefully received?

 

Many thanks in anticipation!

 

The following is from the Apache environment part of phpinfo which might help somebody:

I think I covered something like this for a Mac before.

 

Your globals are set to 1

[David S123]

(Sorry, I don't quite understand the last posting ? application_top.php does a check that globals are set, and is not producing an error message.)

 

But it appears that the configuration table is not set up in my eShop database, so that GZIP_COMPRESSION, DEFAULT_LANGUAGE, etc are not set up:

mysql> describe configuration;

+---------------------------+--------------+------+-----+---------------------+----------------+

| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |

+---------------------------+--------------+------+-----+---------------------+----------------+

| configuration_id | int(11) | | PRI | NULL | auto_increment |

| configuration_title | varchar(64) | | | | |

<SNIP>

| use_function | varchar(255) | YES | | NULL | |

| set_function | varchar(255) | YES | | NULL | |

+---------------------------+--------------+------+-----+---------------------+----------------+

11 rows in set (0.01 sec)

 

mysql> select * from configuration;

Empty set (0.00 sec)

 

Just do the installation again from scratch maybe?

yes I remember now that was part of the issue for the other person, for them the languages table was not complete.

 

drop the database and run the sql again this can be done using phpmyadmin
