The index.php not working again

juliajia · January 14, 2005

I've removed the default paragraph in define('TEXT_MAIN', '.....'); i.e. first line in the index.php page under includes/languages/english folder. Save it and reupload it and the index.php page turned up to be empty.

Anybody has the similar problem before? Please help!

Thanks a million !

January 14, 2005

What do you mean by 'the page is empty'.

Are the headers and left and right columns there?

January 15, 2005

well...you deleted all the text and it should be empty.

you have used the online filemanager to edit the file and this has removed the backslashes from the code which should be giving you a parse error for that file however if the page is showing empyt this would suggest that error reporting is switched off in your php.ini file on the server.

try uploading this :

when editing a file it is better to download the file using an ftp program such as ws_ftp and then edit offline, then use the ftp program to upload to the server.

You need to put your HTML in here

define('TEXT_MAIN', 'test');

For example:

define('TEXT_MAIN', '<h1>SPECIAL OFFERS</h1>Currently we are running a special buy on get one free promotion! To qualify you need to ...........');

Thanks Steve, I didn't notice the missing backslashes. :-"

I tried to replace the "test" with "The prices are subject to change...". But when I upload the file, the index.php is not working again.

Please take a look at the code below to see if you can find any errors.

Thanks a lot!

Julia,

If you post the same thing 3 times it will not help get your problem solved any faster.

Looks okay as near as I can tell. What does your catalog/index.php file look like? What's your URL?

KennethS · January 20, 2005

Make sure there is not a space at the end of the file, that is the only problem I see that could have been made. Also make sure not to use webhost control panel, or the built in file manager to edit files.

January 20, 2005

Use this one. Fixed & tested it for you. :thumbsup:

you have this

define('TEXT_NOW', '\ now');

which gives the escaping backslash but no apostrophe to escape.

Try this

define('TEXT_NOW', '\' now');

juliajia · January 20, 2005

I just uploaded the code you modified above. But the index.php is still empty.

The URL of my site is http://www.ninesusa.com. Please help me out.

Thank you so much!!!

By the way, I am so sorry for posting so many same content stuff. It was a mistake.

did you upload the file to the catalog/includes/languages/english/ directory or did you accidentally overwrite your catalog/index.php

doen't look like it, you see my problem is that i replace the /index.php thinking it was .../english/index.php :(

Download a full version of the osCommerce from Downloads and keep it in a safe place.

By doing this you will allways have a copy of the files.

Next unpack this download and upload the catalog/index.php file to the correct place on the server.

With this done now download all the files from the server and keep in a safe place this will give you a backup of your files.

You should also backup your database and keep that in a safe place.

You will also need to upload a copy of your changed catalog/languages/english/index.php which was originally uploaded to the wrong place.

jamesepain · January 21, 2005

what i did is install it to a dif dir (useinf cpanel auto install) and copyed the index from there, thanks anyway 241

The index.php not working again
