Mis-generated links and database failure

[Guest]

Hey yall,

 

I just installed my store. It installed fine, but all the links that the php generates look like this:

http://www.circuschimera.com/catalog/insta...talog/index.php

(there is that extra "www.circuschimera.com/catalog/install/://" in there for folks who see it ellipsed)

The store is there, and I went through the installation again, careful of spots were the duplication could occur. The problem persists.

 

Meanwhile, the admin tool will not work either. It says "unable to connect to database server." WAs all that successful database work messages int eh installation not a sign that this was tested and working properly?

 

These are pretty noobish questions, but if I can get into the coding I will get out of your hair. Thanks for helping,

Post both your catalog/includes/configure.php file and your catalog/admin/includes/configure.php file here, minus db user name and password and we'll take a look at them.

Here is the configure.php for the catalog. Names have been changed to protect the innocent; and I think that the DIR_FS_CATALOG field may be inccorect but I don't think that's what's causing the error. Should DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG non inlcude the domain? It occured to me that the index page could find pictures just fine even though it couldn't set up links correctly...

Am I doing something silly like putting this together in htdocs when I shouldn't be?

HTTP_SERVER should not be empty, but there's not much in it...?

Thanks for taking a look,

JD

It's difficult to help you when you change the names of pathways 'to protect the innocent'. You'll find the changes needed below - as best I can figure out from the code provided.

Sorry about that; I'm on shared hosting so some of the directory names are the same as my username. However, I added some of your suggestions and changed some stuff around, and now it works. There are still problems in the secure portions of the store, but I know where to work on those bad directions. Thanks a bunch Vger, if you're ever in the southwest US near our circus I'll snag you seats.

You're welcome. Take you up on the seats if I ever make it to the USA.
