Paths Problem!!

[Guest]

Hi Guys,

 

Im installing a shop for a client on a host called 'Active 24' , so far ive had a LOT of problems setting this one up.

 

The current issue im having is setting a few paths in the admin 'configure.php' script. It doesent seem to understand the'../' command (so that it will go one directory back. (so as it can look for the image folder , includes folder etc etc for the normal side of the catalog.

 

It just wont see the folders! - if i dont use ../ it seems to just see the image folder etc in the admin directory. And uploads catagory images etc to the admin images folder (which is the wrong images folder so the catalog look in the wrong place) - It also doesent see any of the payment, shipping modules etc because of this problem.

 

Can anyone help me??? As I realy dont want to have to tell the client they need to pay a new host.

 

Thanks,

 

Chris.

as far as I know you don't need ../ references if the admin configure.php as long as you have the catalog paths defined.

 

define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/'); // absolute path required

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/webserverroot/'); // absolute path required

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG_IMAGES', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'images/');

Hi,

 

Thanks for the reply,

 

I have tried setting all possable paths that i can think off (including the correct way as you mentioned) but that just seems to still upload images to the admin/images directory??? and the modules still are not visable (obviousley looking in admin / includes folder)

 

I am completley baffled (I have set up oscommerce stores before which is why this is confusing me)

 

Any other ideas?
