Firstly, your site is most likely to be on a shared server, so it is not advisable to cache files. So set Use Cache to False. That will get rid of one error.

 

Your folder for making backups should be in the admin folder, and by default is called backups (not backup). If you don't have this folder then create it. Then make sure that this is the setting used in admin/includes/configure.php

 

define('DIR_FS_BACKUP', DIR_FS_ADMIN . 'backups/');

 

That takes care of the second error.

ok i have checked the files above and they are just like you say they should be and i am still getting the same error...

I also get this error, even though I did everything by the book and the settings ARE correct. Help?

 

Ok, it does say that it has done a backup, but the error messages still bug me, seeing as I am about to install some contribs, and want my backup done properly first!

Ok, no edit thingie.

 

I got it, the damned program just didn't accept me CHMODing the damned dir to 777.

ok this is my problem when i go to:

Cache Control

i get this Error ~~~>

If I give too much info here bear with me-- I saw several unanswered threads when I came looking for an answer to the same problem, discovered the resolution and I'm going to cut and paste this resolution into each of these threads so if I overexplain forgive me-- take what you need and go ;)

 

In the OSC admin tool under 'Configuration' select 'Cache'. Set 'Use Cache' to true and set the 'Cache Directory' to THE FULL PATH to your cache directory. That means the full path from the root of the file system on your server. You can pull this most of this from your /catalogs/includes/configure.php file-- the 'DIR_FS_CATALOG' has the path you need, just add 'cache/' to the end. So in the example below:

 

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/home/myhostingacct/public_html/catalog/');

 

Add 'cache/' to the end making it '/home/myhostingacct/public_html/catalog/cache/' (without the singles quotes)

 

Plug this into the 'Cache Directory' entry and save it. Make sure there there are CHMOD 777 (full read/write access for all) permissions to the cache folder and you should be golden.

 

TESTING

------------

 

From the Admin tool go to 'Tools' and select 'Cache Control'. That pesky pink error message at the top should be gone now. If not, something is wrong. Check the path and check the permissions, that's all that could be wrong.

 

Notice that the file 'date created' for the three cache files is 'File does not exist'. Now browse your site, click a couple of the categories, and select a manufacturer from the box. Then refresh the 'Cache Control' page. You should see that they are updated now. If so-- it's working... have a nice day!
