Catlog and Administration Tool Not Working

[bbhattarai]

Hi:

 

I'm new to osCommerce. Saw it today and downloaded it. I knew some PHP and MySql. I tried to install osCommerce as described in oscommerce install file. I succeded to install up to the screen where it says "The configuration was successful" and there are two buttons underneath by the name of "Catalog" and "Administration Tool". When I click on any of those button and I get 'You are not authorized to view this page" message.

 

I couldn't figure out how to solve this.

 

The site I am developing is in local machine. Instead of copying catalog folder to the htdocs in Apache I copied them under the folder amanita that is the root folder of my site. I also have mysql in local machine.

 

Please help.

:(

It needs to go into htdocs (you can call the 'catalog' folder whatever you like), as this is where your web server looks for it. The address would then be http://localhost/catalog, or http://localhost/amanita (if you rename the catalog folder to that).

Thank Vger for the response. So, I can't have my index.php that I created earlier and do I have to work on what osCommerce provides?

 

Thank you.

Hi:

 

I tried as you said. I still have the same erros. When I click Catalog and Administrative Tool buttons I still get you are not authorized to view this page. Please, help me overcome this.

 

Thanks
