problem wirth categories on the firs level

[axelfrank]

Hi @all

 

Yesterday I installed oscommerce (current version) on my server (linux 9.0 with apache 2.0.48).

 

Now I can?t edit (or delete) the default categories on the first level. (the 2nd and 3rd level

is no problem)

 

Does anybody know what the problem could be?

 

You can see the installation under http://www.unterhose24.de/oscommerce-2.2ms2/catalog.

 

Thanks

You need to delete the install folder and then post back if the problem persists. Make sure that your folders have permission set to 775.

Hi Vger

 

thanks for your answer.

Now I have changed the permission to 775. I also deleted the installation folder.

 

The problem is still existing.

I still see this when I go to your site

Warning: Installation directory exists at: /home/u/unterhose24.de/public_html/oscommerce-2.2ms2/catalog/install. Please remove this directory for security reasons.

 

This makes me wonder what else is wrong.

Hi Vger

 

I reinstalled oscommerce once again.

Could the problem be in my php.ini, becaus I also installed oscomerce on my local maschine and it works without any problem?

 

greetings

If all else fails you can comment out the error message in includes/application_top.php

Hi,

 

now I have identified and fixed the problem.

There was a problem with the link for all actions on the categories on the first level. There was no value for "cPath" in the get-method.

 

I add these two lines in the "categories.php" (line 877) and it works without any problems.

 

 

// customizing Axel Frank - 31.08.2005

$a= $cPath;

if ($a=='') {$a=0;};

//End of customizing

 

$contents = array('form' => tep_draw_form('newcategory', FILENAME_CATEGORIES, 'action=insert_category&cPath=' . $a, 'post', 'enctype="multipart/form-data"'));

$contents[] = array('text' => TEXT_NEW_CATEGORY_INTRO);

 

 

 

Discription: When there is no value for "cPath" the programm set "0" as value (0 = 1st categorie-level).
