Cannot login first time to Admin

[Andrew36875]

hello... new to oscommerce but have followed the instructions very carefully. The database was installed successfully, and everything in the catalog section works fine. But when I go to the Admin section I get the following two error messages on a blank screen:

 

Warning: main(includes/functions/database.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /usr/www/users/alpha/health/catalog/admin/includes/application_top.php on line 58

 

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'includes/functions/database.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /usr/www/users/alpha/health/catalog/admin/includes/application_top.php on line 58

 

What I don't understand is that database.php does exist in includes/functions/, it was downloaded in ASCII and I have tried changing directory permissions but to no avail.

 

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks, Andrew

I am in the same position except that my error is:-

Fatal error: Cannot re-assign $this in C:\Program Files\Web\Apache2\htdocs\catalog\admin\includes\classes\upload.php on line 31

 

I have used "TheSaint Wamp" as my installation of Apache etc... and all works very well.

 

Look forward to a solution.

Thanks in anticipation

Andrew - - check the following in catalog/admin/includes/configure.php:

define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/catalog/admin/'); // absolute path required

define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', '/home/your_user-name/public_html/admin/'); // absolute path required

 

make sure that they are correct for your server.
