duplicating my url in admin area?

[erspangler]

Hello,

 

After installing oscommerce I went into my admin area to begin working with my site. When clicking on "configuration", the url it's trying to go to is:

 

http://www.mysite.com/shop/admin://www.mys.../blahblahblah...

 

So obviously, I'm getting 404 errors. If I stop and take off the first part of the url it will work, but then as soon as I click on anything to edit, it does it again. How do I fix this?

You should open and check your /admin/includes/configure.php

Somehow the url got duplicated

Ok, I know nothing about php, could you tell me what I'm looking for? There are a couple of places that say "absolute path required? Do I change one of them? to what? I did adjust the following code taking out my personal information.

 

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

define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', '://');

define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', '');

define('ENABLE_SSL_CATALOG', 'false'); // secure webserver for catalog module

define('DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT', '/home/mainwebsite/mysite.com/shop/'); // where the pages are located on the server

define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', 'www.mysite.com/shop/admin/'); // absolute path required

define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', '/home/mainwebsite/mysite.com/shop/admin/'); // absolute pate required

define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', 'www.mysite.com/shop/'); // absolute path required

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/home/mainwebsite/mysite.com/shop/'); // absolute path required

define('DIR_WS_IMAGES', 'images/');

define('DIR_WS_ICONS', DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'icons/');

define('DIR_WS_CATALOG_IMAGES', DIR_WS_CATALOG . 'images/');

define('DIR_WS_INCLUDES', 'includes/');

define('DIR_WS_BOXES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'boxes/');

define('DIR_WS_FUNCTIONS', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'functions/');

define('DIR_WS_CLASSES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'classes/');

define('DIR_WS_MODULES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'modules/');

define('DIR_WS_LANGUAGES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'languages/');

define('DIR_WS_CATALOG_LANGUAGES', DIR_WS_CATALOG . 'includes/languages/');

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG_LANGUAGES', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'includes/languages/');

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

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG_MODULES', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'includes/modules/');

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

 

// define our database connection

define('DB_SERVER', 'mysql.mywebsite.com'); // eg, localhost - should not be empty for productive servers

define('DB_SERVER_USERNAME', 'username');

define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', 'password');

define('DB_DATABASE', 'shoppingcart');

define('USE_PCONNECT', 'true'); // use persisstent connections?

define('STORE_SESSIONS', 'mysql'); // leave empty '' for default handler or set to 'mysql'

Try something like this

 

define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/admin/'); // absolute path required

 

Not 100% sure that is right or not, I always install to the root folder so it could be wrong.
