Jack_mcs Posted December 18, 2008 Author Share Posted December 18, 2008 (edited) Try uploading the sitemonitor_configure.php file that comes with the contribution and before you make any changes to it, do an update. If that works, then you are making a mistake somehow.

vicster Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 I've just installed version 1.7. I've read this entire thread and I cannot figure out why, when I hit the Delete Reference File button, I get a 'Reference File Creation Failed' error. The path to my backup directory is /services/webpages/i/t/**mysite**.com/public/catalog/admin/backups/ so I assumed the start path in SiteMonitor/Configure should be /services/webpages/i/t/**mysite**.com/public/catalog/ (should there be a slash at the end, BTW?) I have the admin directory set as http://**mysite**.com/catalog/admin Also, I assume that the username and PW is the one I use to sign into OSC Admin (not the .htaccess username and PW) Which brings up the point that I have the admin file username/PW protected with .htaccess (not sure if this matters, but would think so) The includes/config file in my admin looks like this: <?php define('HTTP_SERVER', 'https://**mysite**.com'); define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://www.**mysite**.com'); define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://**mysite**.com'); define('ENABLE_SSL_CATALOG', 'true'); define('DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT', '/services/webpages/i/t/**mysite**.com/public/catalog/'); define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/catalog/admin/'); define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', '/services/webpages/i/t/**mysite**.com/public/catalog/admin/'); define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/catalog/'); define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/services/webpages/i/t/**mysite**.com/public/catalog/'); 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/'); I used https in the first line of my includes/config file to 'force' admin to use my SSL...it wasn't being picked up with just http. I've tried setting the permission on the admin directory to 777...didn't work. Also, because of the SSL cert, I have a public folder and a secure folder. I just copy everything in the public folder to the secure folder. (I'm not sure if this matters) I use PHP5 and I'm on a Linux (Apache) server with curl enabled. Any ideas? This is the last contribution I wanted to install before adding my products and finally going live. I've been working on this cart since the end of October (wasted 6 weeks trying to get Google Checkout to work and gave up) and I'm anxious to be up and running! Thanks!

Jack_mcs Posted December 22, 2008 Author Share Posted December 22, 2008 My guess is that setup of your files may be causing confusion to the code. Try running it without using the three admin settings (Directory, Username, Password) and see if that helps.

vicster Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 I emptied all of the admin boxes and left '/services/webpages/i/t/**mysite**.com/public/catalog/' in the start directory and still a Failed error. BTW - if you empty the UN and PW boxes, hit update leave, and then return to Configure, those boxes will be automatically populated with your database username and PW. So if anyone ever wants to 'empty' those boxes, type in 'username' and 'password' just to be safe. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vicster Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 I changed the code in my admin/includes/application_top.php to call the SSL connection and then changed my admin/includes/config file to the http: on the first line...and then tried again. No success. If I wanted to create a refernece file myself, what is it called exactly and where does it go? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack_mcs Posted December 22, 2008 Author Share Posted December 22, 2008 In admin/includes/functions/sitemonitor.php, find this line $dp=opendir($dir); and add these below it if ($dp == FALSE) echo 'failed '; echo 'opening '. $dir.'<br>'; Save the file and see what happens when it's ran.

vicster Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Thanks Jack! I did as you asked and now I get this: failed opening /home/username/public_html Reference file creation failed. It's looking for '/home/username/public_html' even though I have my start dir (in Configure) set to '/services/webpages/i/t/**mysite**.com/public/catalog/' BTW - I had all of the admin areas filled in again. I had 'http://www.**mysite**.com/catalog/admin/' in the Admin Dir area. I emptied them again and still got the same as above. (If I need to place the path in a file somewhere, should there be a '/' at the end of the path...and should 'catalog' be there?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack_mcs Posted December 22, 2008 Author Share Posted December 22, 2008 It is picking up the default configure file settings, not the ones you are entering. Try looking at the sitemonitor_configure.php file and see if it is being updated. My guess is that there are two copies, due to your dual folder setup. I don't know that it will work with that kind of setup, never having tried it. You could try editing that file with an editor and see what happens. The trailing slash may be important, depending upon your setup. It is not normally needed though.

vicster Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 (edited) It had updated the file in the public folder, but not the secure folder. I copied the file from the public to the secure, and then hit the first button in SiteMonitor/Admin. This is what i got: opening /services/webpages/i/t/**mysite**.com/public/catalog opening /services/webpages/i/t/**mysite**.com/public/catalog/download opening /services/webpages/i/t/**mysite**.com/public/catalog/images opening /services/webpages/i/t/**mysite**.com/public/catalog/images/banners opening /services/webpages/i/t/**mysite**.com/public/catalog/images/default opening /services/webpages/i/t/**mysite**.com/public/catalog/images/dvd opening /services/webpages/i/t/**mysite**.com/public/catalog/images/gt_interactive opening /services/webpages/i/t/**mysite**.com/public/catalog/images/hewlett_packard opening /services/webpages/i/t/**mysite**.com/public/catalog/images/icons opening /services/webpages/i/t/**mysite**.com/public/catalog/images/infobox... And the list continued. OOh! I got 4 e-mails. The first listed just about every file saying it was new, and the other three said nothing had changed. Progress at least!

Jack_mcs Posted December 22, 2008 Author Share Posted December 22, 2008 That's good to hear. You should delete the code I had you add. It won't help now and will slow down the script.

Forestshopkeeper Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 My guess is that setup of your files may be causing confusion to the code. Try running it without using the three admin settings (Directory, Username, Password) and see if that helps. Jack Hi Jack: It's me again. I am ready to upgrade to 1.7. I was reading the update history and am confused by ADD BENEATH IT: $admin_dir = 'http://www.yourdomain.com/admin'; //your shops admin $admin_username = 'username'; //your admin username $admin_password = 'password'; //your admin password I don't have an OSC panel user name and password. I only use .htaccess protection. Something about the way my site was set up for me. Which username and password am I supposed to be putting in here? In a sort of related question, I went to my copy of 1.6 today, to delete the reference file and write a new one, but nothing happened. all I got was the report of a time mismatch, which I knew was there. I did not even get the usual error messages when I changed all the permissions to 755 or folders and 644 for files. Your thoughts? Should I just start over with 1.7 and hope for the best?

Jack_mcs Posted January 3, 2009 Author Share Posted January 3, 2009 You only need to enter those settings if you want to use curl as the way to connect, which some hosts require. If you don't need curl, then there's no reason to use them. If you do use the, the username and password are the ones you use for your admin. V 1.7 fixes a lot of problems others wer having so I wouldn't bother trying to get an earlier version to work.

I use .hataccess to limit access to the ADMIN panel. Is there another admin I am missing? If I am not going to use those lines in the sitemonitor_cofigure.php, do I need to replace it at all? Are there any of the other files I don't need to upload? Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forestshopkeeper Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 There's only one admin section in any oscommerce shop. Yes, you need all of the files uploaded. Jack Hi Jack: I know you are a very busy guy, but you did not answer my question. My admin panel does not have a login requirement. I don't know if standard osCommerce does or not, but I am trying to find out if I am supposed to use the username and password for the .htaccess protection, or just ignore those lines. Please take the time to actually answer the question I asked. Thank You Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack_mcs Posted January 5, 2009 Author Share Posted January 5, 2009 I did answer the question. It sounds like you are confusing the names or maybe your shop is not setup correctly. If you have an oscommerce shop, then you should have an admin section. If you don't have an admin section, then the code of your shop has been drastically altered and I won't be able to help you. But assuming you have an admin section, you get to it wth a url something like, http://YOUR_DOMAIN_NAME.com/admin. When you go to the correct url for your admin, you should be prevented from accessing it until after you enter in a username and password. If you can get right in, then you've got a serious security problem so installing this contribution won't help a bit. If you do have to login, then that is the username and password that is to be entered into configure settings of this contribution. I hope that is clear enough since I don't know how else to explain it.
