osCommerce

The e-commerce.

A really urgent problem


Guest

Recommended Posts

Ok im going to be as informative as i can because last time i posted this nobody helped me.

 

I installed a new oscommerce store and deleted the old one. The database was deleted too.

 

So i made a new blank database and copied over the files from the old site EXCEPT admin/includes/configure.php and /includes/configure.php

 

Everything runs comepletely fine EXCEPT the files at /includes/languages/english/images/buttons DO NOT DISPLAY.

 

Instead they retain their links but have a blank box in place of the image that should be there.

 

You can see an example of this HERE

 

 

If anyone knows what is causing this i would love to know, i have spenmt the entire day reinstalling and scouring through php files and ihave no idea. Its driving me insane.

odd one, looks like the path to the images is correct

 

sounds silly i know but have you checked to see if the buttons are in that folder online?

 

if they are then you know its a coding error rather than something simple

 

suggest setting up a test page just displaying two buttons

 

one image coded like osc does

one image hard coded

 

see if both/any appear

 

then go from there

I had a similar problem.

 

Check to make sure you have not got a .htaccess file preventing the buttons images from being opened.

 

No .htaccess files should be anywhere past the following location...

 

catalog\includes\(.htaccess is here)languages\

 

Hope this helps.

htaccess files are in other folders.

 

I would check to be sure your catalog/includes/languages/english/images/buttons folder is there... or whichever language you are using

Yes they are all there, it points to the right place, the folder is there, the files are there, they sont have capitals in the wrong place NOTHING is wrong with them.

 

There is a .htaccess file in my /includes folder but no deeper than that

Try deleting that .htaccess (BACKUP FIRST).

 

I did have a similar problem and it was a .htaccess file that was causing it.

I'm not an expert but, with a direct link I can see this file:

 

http://www.echophile.com/images/matrox/mg200mms.gif

 

but I can't display this file:

 

http://www.echophile.com/includes/language...ton_buy_now.gif

 

The possible reasons for this behaviour are 2:

 

there is an .htaccess file in that directory or above

there aren't enough file permissions

 

I suggest to download the site on your local Hdd, make a search and find all of the .htaccess and then check the file permissions on that folder (CHMOD)

ive contacted my netfirms about it, hopefuly they know whats causing it

 

 

 

I had the same problem on my webserver caused by changing the server directory leavels, this then ment that that OSC was not pointing to the correct images folder.

 

ie if you were to have this structure

c:www/catalog/etc/etc and its working ok

if you were to change it to say:-

 

c:www/shop/catalog/etc/etc

then i found i get this problem.

hope this perhaps helps.

yes thats what i did. I moved it from /store/etc/etc to the root directory

 

I deleted the old database and made a clean install though so i dont see why it should cause any problems

 

 

do you know how to fix it?

Hi,

when I checked I got a parse error .

But fromm other people comment I would lie to ask is

Just right click on the image property and check whether the file it secifies and the path the images are match.

If they do then check whether the images folder has permission to read or not.

 

If that too is fine check whether other images if any are getting dispayed or not.

 

Also just remove all htacess file for the time being.

 

Also let the errors/ warnings be echoed so you dont miss on any wrong thing happening.
