install issue

[candlealley]

Oops, posted this in the wrong forum, so I am moving it here.

I used fantastico to insall OsCommerce.

 

I go to the admin page but any link I click on takes to me to the page not found. Where there should be a '/' in the web address there is a <INSTALLDIRSLASH>

 

This is what shows up as the links:

 

http://blessedcrescent.com/<INSTALLDIRS...>/admin/.....

 

I don't know how to fix this or how to install manually. Any help would be most appreciated.

 

Also, this is where my shop is. Nothing looks right.

:'( Hi

 

I know this page what do you have to do is with the configure.php in admin files

 

you will have to change the attribut file and enabled the read everywhere

and to permission proprietary to read/write

 

do the test i have the same thing ans now is OK

 

 

Ciao :D

I have no idea what you are talking about :(

 

This was an automatic install I don't know what to change since there aren't options like that when I installed it.

It looks like your were supposed to choose what folder you wanted to install osC to and replace <INSTALLDIRSLASH> with the name of the folder during install. Since you do not seem to know anything about the files the easiest thing to do would probably be to delete your install and try again this time filling out all the fields like you are supposed to.

The only thing it asks for during install is a top level directory name. I put in 'shop'...

 

I've installed and uninstalled 4 times now it's the same every time.

Then your problem is with the fantastico installer. I would talk to me hosting company.

 

Your best bet is to download and install it yourself . Yes this is more difficult but you will learn more about osC doing it that way so when you come for help you will have some idea of what the answers mean.
