I have just installed oscommerce today and i am able to get view the default index.php and also i can get to the admin page but when any of the links are clicked on admin page all i get is :-

 

Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, admin@localhost and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

 

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

if you are accessing default.php then you are accessing a very old version. you need to download the latest version from the main osCommerce site.

 

ummmmmm, if you have not worked with php then 'quickly' will be a bit of time . . .

Sorry i might of explained wrong, i am able to access the demo shop page www.mysite.com/catalog/index.php and also www.mysite.com/catalog/admin/index.php

 

But i cannot access any of the links in the admin section I just get the error as stated as above.

 

I am using oscommerce-2.2ms2 - Is this the latest version ?

 

 

Thanks

Accessing the 'admin' splash page is easy, you just type the address in. But where you go from there depends upon whether your admin/includes/configure.php file is set up correctly.

 

MS2.2 is the latest version.

 

Your admin/includes/configure.php file should look like this (substitute catalog for the name of your osCommerce folder in htdocs)

Heres a REALLY STUPID Question:

 

How can I tell what version of OS Commerce I am running ?

 

Regs,
