Unable to connect to database server!

[tubarao21]

Hello there. I'm a newbie to OsCommerce and PHP.

 

I searched the forum before and i found some answers but not quite what i was expecting.

 

This is my problem. I managed to installed OSC, it showed me a path for the oscommerce.sql file that i didn't write it down. Anyway, when i try to acceed the site (http://www.mysite.com/onlinestore/admin/index.php) (this is a forwarding of my domain) i get the following message: "Unable to connect to database server!"

 

I think i must edit both configures.php, but i don't know how and where to edit.

 

thanks for the attention.

In both of your configure.php files you must set the correct entries for:

 

define('DB_SERVER', ''); // eg, localhost

define('DB_SERVER_USERNAME', ''); // your MySQL User Name

define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', ''); // your MySQL Password

define('DB_DATABASE', ''); // name of your database

Allright:) Now i got the main "console".

 

Problem is the links are all pointing to the wrong path:(

They're pointing to the main site. And the store is something like www.mainsite.com/store/index.php.

 

For example: the link Administration is pointing to www.mainsite.com/admin/index.php and should be like www.mainsite.com/store/index.php.

 

In consequence we got the 404 Error - Object not found.

 

Where can i fix that?

 

Thanks for u're attention ;)

In admin/includes/configure.php

 

Your DIR_WS_ADMIN should be '/store/admin/'

 

And your DIR_FS_ADMIN should be something like (change to your root path): '/var/www/html/store/admin/'

Well, i got halfway :)

 

No doubt in DIR_WS_ADMIN.

I just didn't undertsand DIR_FS_ADMIN.

I have in configure.php:

define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT . DIR_WS_ADMIN);

and should be like..

define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', ... ) ?

 

Yes, right now you?re teaching me PHP :)

 

So...

 

'/var/www/html/store/admin/'

 

where /var, i don't know what it means :s

and the rest i suppose is www.mysite.com/store/admin.

 

Thank you for your support.

Ok, so i altered DIR_WS_ADMIN and it seems to solved something 'cause now i can acceed to the configurations, etc.... Only online catalog isn't finding the page and still gives 404 Error, object not found. Its a question of editing configure.php i think.

 

The question now is that, as i altered DIR_FS_ADMIN, (it looks like this:

define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', '/var/www.realestudo.com'. DIR_WS_ADMIN);) some errors are being presented.

Example: By entering in administration/catalog i have the following error at the top of the page:

"Error: Catalog images directory does not exist: /home/httpd/vhosts/realestudo.com/httpdocs/catalog/images/" - Where 'realestudo' is my site and not my store.

 

The question is.. did i edit wrong the DIR_FS_ADMIN? I think so.

I get confused definig this.
