Double URL once installed

[wooshman]

Hello all, i am hoping someone can shed some light on my problem.

 

I am running WinXP Pro, Apache 2.0.54, Active Perl, MySQL and PHP4.

 

My problem is this:

 

The web based installation works fine and detects where things are going to run from. The database is created and tables created etc.

 

The problem starts when I get the choice of Goto Catalog or Goto Admin

 

the url for both are doubled, i.e

 

http://://www.bdtsystems.ath.cx/catalog/://www.bdtsystems.ath.cx/catalog/index.php?

 

As you can see I have a problem ;)

 

Does anyone have any idea's please?

 

Kind regards

The problem will be located somewhere in your includes/configure.php files (one in admin one in catalog).

Hi thank you for such a speedy response. I have had a look at all the configure.php files and made a few changes and got a couple of stages further:

Have a look please as in I now have images.

 

But my urls are still slightly messed.

 

Does anyone have osCommerce running on a windows machine, if so, please could you show me the contents of your to configure.php files please? I think i must be missing something.

 

Many thanks in advance

easy way for us to help you would be for you to post your configure.php files here WITHOUT THE DATABASE CONNECTION INFO

How it stands at the moment is better than it was after a clean install.

 

 

I have it installed on my server in the following folder:

 

c:\web\www.bdtsystems.ath.cx\catalog

 

the url is

 

www.bdtsystems.ath.cx

 

Many many thanks

In admin and in catalog we do nat in includes folder file names configure.php its there that we place the constant equivalents do check and fix those files.

Hi,

 

Well I have tried both of your suggestions and even installed it on a hosted site which comes with osCommerce ready to install. I then looked at both the configure.php files and mine seem fine.

 

So at the moment I am at a loss.

 

Any more idea's before I give up?

 

I will happily create an ftp account if someone would be good enough to look at what I have?? :-"

 

Many thanks

You should not append the trailing slash as done here:

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.site.com/catalog/'); // eg, http://localhost - should not be empty

define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'http://www.site.com/catalog/'); // eg, https://localhost - should not be empty

 

There is no trailing slash on a cookie domain:

define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'www.site.com/');

 

And the document root is the root and not a root plus a folder:

define('DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT','.............................../www.site.com/catalog/');

 

Well I have tried both of your suggestions and even installed it on a hosted site which comes with osCommerce ready to install

 

If the osCommerce install you first reported was on your home computer, then you had the setup all wrong.

 

It should have been:

 

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

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

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

define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'localhost');

define('HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN', '');

define('HTTP_COOKIE_PATH', '/catalog/');

define('HTTPS_COOKIE_PATH', '');

define('DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG', '/catalog/');

define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '');

The machine it is running on is at home yes, but it is a fully blown web/ftp/mail etc etc server. When I install web aplications I do it as if it were hosted somewhere else in the world.

 

As it turns out, that osCommerce was not happy with the configuration I had and have changed apache version. All is fine now.

 

Many thanks for your help and sorry I had not though of this before.

Do check on your config file.No other issue can create this bug.

Please do create and account on FTP and email Me I wil fix that for you.

This is an install on a local computer, so you can't have FTP access to it.

[wooshman]

Satish,

 

Thank for your reply and kind offer, I have sorted it out now, but that doen not mean I may not need your help in the future.

 

Vger, It is a web server, no different to one you would use to host your web sites where ever and whoever runs them.

 

It has full ftp access, email, and all the other bits and pieces you need to run a web site remotely. So yes you can have ftp access to it. It currently hosts 7 other sites with fully qualified domain names.

 

Even if I had one pc running, I would still be able to give ftp access by installing the relevent ftp server software.

 

Thanks for you input though.

 

Regards

Just wish you had said that in your first post. I found the references to the domain name and then to localhost and a local web server to be confusing. The replies you'd have got would have been more relevant to your problem.

 

Vger

Sorry it was missleading.

 

I know for next time.

 

Thank for all your help anyway. :D

I also had the double URL problem. I used Vger's solution and it worked great! Thank you so much! :D
