Strange behavior on admin panel

[Guest]

Dear Oscommerce,

 

I've just installed it. Everything went perfectly. But...

 

When I'm using the admin panel, after each action like changing a category name, I've a blank page.

I have to manually go back with the "back button". The action has been executed but seems not able to take me back where I was.

 

Thanks for suggestions.

most likely an error with your configure.php file, etc. post it here, without the database connection info.

also at the bottom of the file, make sure you have set 'mysq' in the store sessions area

Here is my configuration file:

// Define the webserver and path parameters

// * DIR_FS_* = Filesystem directories (local/physical)

// * DIR_WS_* = Webserver directories (virtual/URL)

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

define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://www.mysitename.com');

define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', '');

define('ENABLE_SSL_CATALOG', 'false'); // secure webserver for catalog module

define('DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT', '/var/webs/www.mysitename.com/public_html/shop/catalog/'); // where the pages are located on the server

define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/shop/catalog/admin/'); // absolute path required

define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', '/var/webs/www.mysitename.com/public_html/shop/catalog/admin/'); // absolute pate required

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

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/var/webs/www.mysitename.com/public_html/shop/catalog/'); // absolute path required

define('DIR_WS_IMAGES', 'images/');

define('DIR_WS_ICONS', DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'icons/');

define('DIR_WS_CATALOG_IMAGES', DIR_WS_CATALOG . 'images/');

define('DIR_WS_BOXES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'boxes/');

define('DIR_WS_FUNCTIONS', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'functions/');

define('DIR_WS_CLASSES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'classes/');

define('DIR_WS_MODULES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'modules/');

define('DIR_WS_LANGUAGES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'languages/');

define('DIR_WS_CATALOG_LANGUAGES', DIR_WS_CATALOG . 'includes/languages/');

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG_LANGUAGES', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'includes/languages/');

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

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG_MODULES', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'includes/modules/');

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

 

// define our database connection

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

define('DB_SERVER_USERNAME', 'xxxxx');

define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', 'yyyyyy');

define('DB_DATABASE', 'yyyyyyy');

define('USE_PCONNECT', 'true'); // use persisstent connections?

define('STORE_SESSIONS', 'mysql'); // leave empty '' for default handler or set to 'mysql'

 

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

I've tried to remove the "mysql" but with no effect... still same problem

 

Thanks for your interest

Do I still need sessions? as the admin part of the shop is secured with .htaccess?

Make sure that your folders have permissions of 755. Don't enable use_pconnect in your configure.php files. Many hosts bar the use of persistent connections and this can cause you problems.

Can it be linked with the "Register Globals"?

[♥Vger]

No. If it was then you wouldn't get your website on screen at all, just the error "Register Globals is disabled in php.ini - enable it"
