Cant get admin area to work?

[Guest]

Hi,

 

Just installed Oscommerce on a clean install of Apache2triad (Installs Apache PHP etc with little hastle) my problem is that after copying the catalog dir to the htdocs directory and doing the install I can't access the admin page all I get is a blank screen.

 

The catalog area works fine but if i goto :

 

http://localhost/catalog/admin/

 

= Blank Screen

 

Any help / advice?

 

Kind Regards

Try the following and go to

 

http://localhost/admin/

 

to find your admin page, maybe it will help. works with my admin page.

My admin section won't load either but I get the following message

 

Warning: main(includes/languages/english.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/fhlinux200/t/tamoko-design.co.uk/user/htdocs/catalog/admin/includes/application_top.php on line 130

 

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'includes/languages/english.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/pear') in /home/fhlinux200/t/tamoko-design.co.uk/user/htdocs/catalog/admin/includes/application_top.php on line 130

 

any ideas?

 

on your problem check if you have an index.php file in you admin directory. Do you have it?

Hi Tamoko.

I had this same problem.

What i did is .. went back to my installation details and making sure the details were correct for the root address and also the page address for me i go though IIS not apache although not that much changes.

 

I first put in localhost/catalog/ which was fine on the server machine but not for any others plus i still had errors.

 

So for example the root i put in C://wwwroot/catalog/ (or whichever file your root directory is )

Andfor the Web address i put in my DNS into the address www.yourdomain.com/catalog/

This helped get ride of the problems.

 

Hope that helped

ALD
