So Close!!

[pauline]

I installed with no problems. When I go to the admin index the links to "Configuration", "Catalog" etc. are wrong. Was this an install problem and would anyone know which area I need to fix?

 

http://www.pauline.freesites.ws/catalog/admin/index.php

 

For example the "Configuration" link goes to http://www.pauline.freesites.wsdir_ws_http...p/?selected_box

=configuration&gID=1

 

and I get a "The page cannot be displayed" error. It looks like this part of the url may be wrong ... freesites.wsdir_ws_http_catalogconfiguration.php

 

there definately needs to be a / after http://www.pauline.freesites.ws

 

Any ideas, suggestions?

your configure.php file is wrong post the file admin/includes/configure.php and xxx out the database info from the bottom of the file.

 

Your install has not gone to well as catalog gives the access denied for user message for the database connection.

 

Warning: mysql_connect(): Access denied for user: '****@*****' (Using password: *****) in *:\******\www\*****\******\includes\functions\database.php on line 19

Unable to connect to database server!

 

This indicates the wrong username DB_SERVER_USERNAME or password DB_SERVER_PASSWORD information in the configure.php files

::sigh:: O.K., I will start over. Thanks anyway ;)

[241]

define('DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT', '/home/pauline/public_html/catalog/');

change to

define('DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT', '/home/pauline/public_html/catalog');

that is all that I see in that file.

 

As you can access the admin copy the information contained here

// define our database connection
define('DB_SERVER', 'localhost'); // eg, localhost - should not be empty for productive servers
define('DB_SERVER_USERNAME', 'xxx');
define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', 'xxx');
define('DB_DATABASE', 'xxx');
define('USE_PCONNECT', 'false'); // use persisstent connections?
define('STORE_SESSIONS', 'mysql'); // leave empty '' for default handler or set to 'mysql'

to your catalog/includes/configure.php

 

can you post your catalog/includes/configure.php

Steve - I truly appreciate your help here as I see others don't get their questions answered at all. I am re-installing it on a different host. If all goes well I will let you know. If all goes as the other one did I will go back to the other one and post the info you requested. Thanks again, it really is appreciated!!!

I dont think that you are far from being installed just some path issues and settings in the configure.php file for catalog. a lot of links in admin pull from catalog.

I got it set up on my other host. I should have used my good host to begin with. I always have problems installing things with freesites.ws. Anyway ... I'm off and running.

 

Thanks again for your help Steve!
