MSIE Display Errors

[djsparks]

I've installed and configured most of the basic features of my catalog. Everything looks and works fine in Firefox. However, when I open the site in MS Internet Explorer, everything is haywire. None of the images display and the links don't work.

 

The problem seems to be that in MSIE, the links aren't going to the actual URL (such as http://www.website.com/catalog/index.php) but are going to a truncated file (such as http:///index.php).

 

Does anyone have any idea why this error would be occurring in MSIE but not in Firefox? I've searched the forums and can't find a clue. >_<

 

Thanks!

I'm surprised nobody has any ideas on this one. Surely it can't be just me having this problem--though, it is a strange matter, I admit. :'(

The problem relates to the setting of your base href. Firefox ignores this but IE doesn't. In this respect IE is more rigorous than Firefox in the pathways you set in your configuration files.

 

So, you need to check your includes/configure.php files for errors.

Thanks for the reply.

 

I'm not well versed in PHP but I don't see any href's at all in configure.php. I can't set the base href if there aren't any. Am I missing something?

 

Thanks again!

perhaps we may work on a solution together as i am getting extra whitespace between my header images called in my header.php file, and it only happens in internet explorer

 

Thanks

Hi, Your configure.php file was never written to by the install - which is why it is empty of almost all of the data it should have. This is why you're getting the error.

Posting an essentially blank configure.php won't help.

 

We'll need a link to the site if you want to solve the problem.

[♥Vger]

All of the entries below need to be filled in - and that's the only thing that's going to help, because until they are filled in we won't see the site.

 

define('HTTP_SERVER', ''); // eg, http://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers

define('HTTPS_SERVER', ''); // eg, https://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers

define('ENABLE_SSL', false); // secure webserver for checkout procedure?

define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', '');

p.s. Alan - this file wasn't written to by the looks of things.

If the file wasn't written the site wouldn't work in any browser. He's complaining about its behaviour in a specific browser.

 

He most likely posted a blank file, not the active one.

I have the exact same problem in my configuration. The pages look Ok in Opera, but in IE I have no images and no icons. I have tried changing the config.php file, and the behavior is slightly different depending on the settings, but the result is the same. Images refer to http:///images. there is no reference to the web page.

 

The site address is: www.lillevenn.no

 

Here's my current config.php

 

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.lillevenn.no'); // eg, http://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers

define('HTTPS_SERVER', ''); // eg, https://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers

define('ENABLE_SSL', false); // secure webserver for checkout procedure?

define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'http://www.lillevenn.no');
