Can someone tell me if sitemonitor will also work for CRE Loaded? (CRE Loaded runs on the OSCommerce platform)

Yes, it works with all versions and forks of oscommerce.

Ok, I've downloaded sitemonitor. I see 2 folders, one for oscommerce_2.3 and one for oscommerce_MS2_or_RC2 Which one of those folders should I use for CRE Loaded 6.4.0 or 6.4.1a?

Support for CRE shops is against this forums rules. I know that someone ported SiteMonitor to CRE, though it may not be recent, so you should check the CRE forums for the solution.

For those of you that are having difficulty getting multiple instances to run as cron jobs, here is a fix. It is in the next version but I don't know when that will be released so I thought I would post it here for now. In admin/sitemonitor.php, find

  $instance = ((isset($_GET['instance']) && (int)$_GET['instance'] >= 0) ? (int)$_GET['instance'] : '0');

and replace it with

  $instance = ((isset($_GET['instance']) && (int)$_GET['instance'] >= 0) ? (int)$_GET['instance'] : (isset($_SERVER['argv'][1]) && (int)$_SERVER['argv'][1] >= 0 ? $_SERVER['argv'][1] : '0'));

For the cron job, use the following, adjusted for your site, of course:

 

php /home/username/public_html/catalog/admin/sitemonitor.php X

 

where X = the number of the sitemonitor configure file to be used.

Hi

 

I have recently installed this contrib.

 

However I get a couple of errors. Firstly:

 

WARNING: Your images directory contains non-image type files which is, generally, not correct.

 

I have checked and I have the .htaccess here as well as a thumbs.db within one directory and an arial.ttf file. These are from another contribution. Is there a way to put in a exception for these files?

 

Also I get the following error:

 

 

Warning: copy(sitemonitor_log_013_06_2011.txt) [function.copy]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /var/www/vhosts/xxxx/httpdocs/xxxxx/includes/functions/sitemonitor_functions.php on line 245

Failed to create backup log file

 

Thanks a lot

You shouldn't have a thumbs.db file in that directory. It is a file that gets included with sloppily put together contributions. It won't do any arm if it is a real Windows file but hackers have caught on that shop owners ignore those and will upload their hacker files with that name. Since it is not an image file, you get an error from SiteMonitor.

 

The second error is due to how the server is setup. You need to talk to your host about changing the settings to allow files to be written to.

Can you advise what setting this is and I will enable it as I am on a VPS so am able to configure any changes.

 

Thanks

It can be due to several things but probably the most common is how the owner is setup.

[ollyno1uk2]

Thanks a lot.

 

I have solved that issue but I have another that I thought would be part of the same thing:

 

Warning: array_flip() [function.array-flip]: Can only flip STRING and INTEGER values! in /var/www/vhostsxxxx/httpdocs/xxx/includes/functions/sitemonitor_functions.php on line 136

 

This is when I run Manually Check for Hacked Files

 

Is this something else?

That usually happens if you have not clicked on the first Update button because no reference file exists otherwise.

hi, at first i installed sitemonitor local in xampp. all is working fine there.

 

now after testing i try to install it on my productive site, i done all installation steps, when i try to click on "Configure" first time i get a error "...file not found...". but sitemonitor_configure_setup.php is definitely there on correct path. does anyone know this problem?

It's strange that it says file not found but doesn't list the file. It seems there is something corrupted on the server.

yes it's really strange. I thought it may be due to an other contrib and so i tested it in a completeley new install... there i have exactly the same 404 error.

is there something wrong on my domain settings... im able to change these settings:

 

PHP safe_mode: on

PHP register_globals off

PHP open_basedir on

PHP magic_quotes_gpc on

PHP default_charset iso-8859-1

PHP memory limit 64MB

PHP upload file size 24MB

PHP call_time_pass_reference on

PHP register_argc_argv on

PHP register_long_arrays on

PHP session_save_path on

PHP url_fopen off

WebServer mod_rewrite on

Safe mode will usually cause problems like this.

i turned it off but still same problem :(

[Jack_mcs]

i turned it off but still same problem :(

Then you'll need to ask your host to take a look at it.

[el3ment]

yehaa, it is working :) !

 

i contacted my provider, they installed a new firewall on their servers. those has blocked some scripts, they created a rule for this and now it is working fine.

 

thanks a lot!

 

have a great weekend

[Thare]

Some help please with this would be appreciated

 

Eye repaired these ERRORs With the suggested FIX in article #1567836 ->

Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #1 is not an array in /location/sitemonitor_admin.php on line 66

 

Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #2 is not an array in /location/sitemonitor_admin.php on line 66

 

With the suggested FIX in article #1567836 to repair sitemonitor_admin.php

at line 69 with

 

$invalidFiles = array_merge((array)glob(DIR_FS_CATALOG . DIR_WS_IMAGES . '*.php'),(array)glob(DIR_FS_CATALOG . DIR_WS_IMAGES . '*.txt'));

 

At Site_Monitor > ADMIN I now have:

 

Error ERROR_IMAGES_HAS_PHP

Error

Error

 

Any ideas please :'(

[Jack_mcs]

Eye repaired these ERRORs With the suggested FIX in article #1567836 ->

Try changing this line

  $invalidFiles = array_merge(glob(DIR_FS_CATALOG . DIR_WS_IMAGES . '*.php'),glob(DIR_FS_CATALOG . DIR_WS_IMAGES . '*.txt'));

to

  $a1 = glob(DIR_FS_CATALOG . DIR_WS_IMAGES . '*.php');
 $a2 = glob(DIR_FS_CATALOG . DIR_WS_IMAGES . '*.txt');
 $invalidFiles = array_merge($a1, (array)$a2);

If it doesn't fix the problem, it might help isolate it. If it still fails, please provide the actual error.

Hi Jack Thanks for your valued contributions absolutely fantastic and much appreciated.

 

I changed the line as suggested above and the result at osCommerce admin is now->

 

Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #1 is not an array in /home/MYSITE/public_html/xyz_admin/sitemonitor_admin.php on line 66

 

So the new code killed two of infamous warnings from line 66 and replaced them with the one above.

 

I know how 2 find my way around install and tweak a few things but I know nothing about code :'(

Assuming line 66 is

 $invalidFiles = array_merge($a1, (array)$a2);

please change it to

 $invalidFiles = array_merge((array)$a1, (array)$a2);

Changed that as directed above Jack and it now shows the same error received from using article #1567836
