Admin Module Catagory Navigation Problem

[Guest]

Having a problem that doesn?t seem to be addressed on any discussion forum?

 

My osCommerce set up is having problems with looping back to Admin Login Panel when attempting to navigate to subcategory or products through admin panel. I also have same experience when attempting to use download function in EasyPopulate 2.72 contribution.

 

 

Here?s my set up:

 

Shared Hosting Service

osCMax v1.7 w/the following installed additional contributions:

- Queries Debug Output v1.6 for osCommerce-ms2

- MS3 Tax Class for osCommerce-ms2

MySQL 4.0.17

PHP 4.3.10 (Zend: 1.3.0)

Microsoft-IIS/5.0

Shared SSL

 

I?m definitely new to PHP and not a developer, but used to be a network engineer (not a Microsoft paper MCSE!), so I can kind of hack my way around things a little.

 

Any other ideas or method of troubleshooting? Thanks in advance for any help you have to offer.

Chad,

I assume from your setup that you have a Windows hosting account. I had the same problem and could not get it to not loop either. I switched to Linux hosting account and the looping stopped. No I don't know why. I'm assuming that it had something to do with file permissions even though no specific error message was thrown. I'm an MCDBA and prefer a Windows account but when I asked AAbox for help they said that MAX was written for Linux, not Windows.

Pete,

 

Thanks for the reply. I started looking at file & directory permissions based on your experience and couldn?t find anything out of place. However, I reapplied all permissions just to be safe, and everything started working correctly! Don?t know what it was, but that somehow fixed things.

 

Thanks again,

I have the same problem with Windows 2003, the only way i found is reset permissions in admin folder, after that everything works well.
