index.php error after clean install

[Guest]

I have recently installed the newest version of osCommerce on a second site. The first installation went fine and so did this one. But, I am getting an error message of:

 

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: tep_image() in /home/avenue/public_html/index.php on line 13

 

when I try to open up mysite.com/index.php

I installed osCommerce to the root directory, not into /catalog

 

Can someone help me diagnose this error. Let me know if you need more information about the install or specific files. It is running on a Linux box.

 

Any help will be greatly appreciated. (and may get you a free cookie)

 

The admin page opens up ok, but the graphics are mangled. I uploaded them in binary, but they are still not showing correctly. I am unsure if this is related to the above error.

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Mario

check that the paths are correct in your configure.php files

 

line 13 of index.php for catalog and admin should be

  require('includes/application_top.php');

The paths look to be correct in the configure.php files.

 

line 13 for the index.php in "catalog" (we are using the root directory), and admin are different.

 

Line 13 in "catalog" is this:

and line 13 in the admin index.php is:

 

require('includes/application_top.php');

 

It looks like the problem is within the line 13 of the "catalog" index.php where it says tep_image. It seems to be "undefined". How would I go about defining this and what would I define it as? Shouldn't this have been done automatically during installation?

 

Thanks for all your help.

Your error says

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: tep_image() in /home/avenue/public_html/index.php on line 13

And the

Line 13 in "catalog" is this:

 

define('TEXT_MAIN', 'This is a default setup of the osCommerce bla bla bla

that is your includes/languages/english/index.php not your index.php

So the wrong file is there? Should I copy the one from the admin folder to the root folder? Thanks for all of your help Bear! Also, I wonder how the wrong file got there...

No dont do that

Download a copy of osC here to your computer and take the index.php file from the catalog folder and upload it to your root folder on your server

Hi Mario - as your probably now aware there is more than x1 index file across the Os folders - other files also have duplicate names - though reside in different folders/structures within Os commerce - you will get used to it I imagine. Sean
