Newbie installing for the first time....

[Guest]

Hi,

 

Have never seen this before, and was asked to reinstall it for a friend.

 

I backed up the database and moved it to the new server and then started fiddling (as you do) to see if I could make it work on my own.

 

I found the includes/configure.php and admin/includes/configure.php files and started there.

I thought I must have done something right because the shop itself showed up pretty quickly to my relief :)

 

I managed to get into the language files and edit the demo bits off the main page too.

 

However, I have read through 8 pages of posts and not seen anyone with the things I want to ask about, so I hope like anything Im not posting this in the wrong place........

 

First Problem;

I have created a folder admin/adminbackups and CHMOD it to 777

 

I edited admin/includes/configure.php to read;

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

 

Yet in the admin section I am getting the following message;

Error Error: Backup directory does not exist. Please set this in configure.php.

 

 

Second Problem;

There are images showing in the Catalogs section when you go to the shop.

There are pics and product info for 4 items and the pictures display fine from a customer point of view.

However, in the Admin section when you click on catalogs, you get the following error;

Error: Catalog images directory does not exist: /shoppinght/images/

 

Now the images directory is on the server, and it is CHMOD to 777.

 

 

Third Problem;

When you are in the admin section and you click on tools/define language

You get the following error;

Warning: dir(/shoppinght/includes/languages/english): failed to open dir: No such file or directory in /home/head/public_html/shoppinght/admin/define_language.php on line 152

 

 

Fourth Problem;

When you are in the admin section and you click on tools/file manager

You get the following errors;

Warning: dir(/shoppinght/): failed to open dir: No such file or directory in /home/head/public_html/shoppinght/admin/file_manager.php on line 178

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/head/public_html/shoppinght/admin/file_manager.php on line 179

 

 

 

Where have I gone wrong and how can i fix it??

 

I am more than happy to post whatever info I can to help get these small but frustrating glitches sorted.

 

Thank you...........

Seems like errors in your catalog/admin/includes/configure.php

Heres the first two for starters

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

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

Okay, if it helps, here is the contents of the file (without the obvious info)

On the server I definitely have the directories;

shoppinght/images

shoppinght/admin/backups

 

// Define the webserver and path parameters
// * DIR_FS_* = Filesystem directories (local/physical)

 define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://**********.com');
 define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://**********.com');
 define('ENABLE_SSL_CATALOG', 'false'); // secure webserver for catalog module
 define('DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT', '/shoppinght/'); // where the pages are located on the server
