about us page

[Guest]

i just installed oscommerce and tried to visit the About Us page, it gave

this error msg:

 

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare tep_db_connect() (previously declared in /usr/home/perweb/domains/perweborder.com/public_html/includes/functions/database.php:13) in /usr/home/perweb/domains/perweborder.com/public_html/includes/functions/database.php on line 13

The about us page is not a standard page so a mistake might have been made when you added it. The above sort of error can occur if you accidentally copied catalog/about_us.php to catalog/includes/languages/english/about_us.php. You may want to check that.

as the error is referring to the same line, I suspect that the file database.php has been included twice.

 

includes/application_top.php is the file which refers to database.php and should be the only one!

 

Post the first 20 lines of the about page. that may help track the prob down!

I'm experiencing the same problem right now trying to implement the file aboutus.php.

 

I found that I had copied aboutus.php to the catalog/includes/languages/english/ subdirectory, but when I delete the file from that subdirectory I get the error message:

 

Warning: main(includes/languages/english/aboutus.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/breadworks/www/www/aboutus.php on line 15

 

Warning: main(includes/languages/english/aboutus.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/breadworks/www/www/aboutus.php on line 15

 

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'includes/languages/english/aboutus.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/breadworks/www/www/aboutus.php on line 15

 

Line 15 reads:

  require(DIR_WS_LANGUAGES . $language . '/' . FILENAME_ABOUTUS);

 

Did you ever figure out what was wrong?

You need to have two versions of your aboutus.php file. One in your catalog and one in your catalog/includes/languages/english/

 

They are however not the same file. You should look at the instructions in the knowledge base for adding a page to see what the proper steps are and see what you are missing the directions can be found HERE

Richard... thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! :thumbsup:

The information to add the aboutus.php page in the contribution didn't explain this, and I appreciate your prompt response and direction.

Adding pages are pretty simple if you follow the steps in the knowledge base there is really no need to use a confribution.

 

One thing to keep in mind about contributions, they are written by people of varying skill. It is always a good idea to check the support thread for a contribution to see what if any problems there are with it and even if it works at all before installing it on your store.
