Failed opening required 'includes/languages/.php'

[rj45]

Hi,

 

am running SUSE 10.1 Firefox, MySQL 5.x, PHP5.

 

Right after installation, with adeguate changes to php.ini for globals and longs, I manage to get a sucessful installation, but when I try to browse the localhost/config I get the following errors:

-----------------------------------------------------------

 

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: open(SESSION_WRITE_DIRECTORY/sess_3asmrvkkps25moq07ld8mt2a21, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in /srv/www/htdocs/catalog/includes/functions/sessions.php on line 97

 

Warning: require(includes/languages/.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /srv/www/htdocs/catalog/includes/application_top.php on line 285

-----------------------------------------------------------------

am afraid there is something wrong... <_<

 

Any hit for that?

 

Thanks in advance for any help.

Make sure that the last line of boh configure.php files says 'mysql' where indicated - thus storing sessions in the database and not in files.

Thank you Vger,

 

thank was a quick and effective one! :)

yes, storing in the DB works better.

 

But I am still puzzling for the language Error - see above on my log - which in the end break the php execution. :(

 

Any hint for that one?

Your sessions weren't working, and a session tried to start, and couldn't set a language. Try clearing your browser cache, cookies, etc...and try again. It worked for me.

I ran into this problem as well.. For a quick fix I just added

?language=en

to my osCommerce URL

 

example:

 

oscommwebsite.com/dir/?language=en

 

I does this because a different language is stored in your browser cache somewhere, so clearing the cookies, and cache, etc, will do the trick, as well.

thank you both of you.

Unfortunately both clearing cookies and using the extended URL with /?language=en did not change the situazio. :wacko:

 

Would you have any other idea let me know.

I had the same problem....if you ONLY work with english language, my solution was to change the following line

 

from:

require(DIR_WS_LANGUAGES . $language . '.php');

 

TO:

require(DIR_WS_LANGUAGES . 'english.php');

[rj45]

Thank you arrannen.

Forcing the language to any available it works quite well as a workaround.

 

Nonetheless I have traced back the problem which was the following:

despite a successful installation as promped at the end of the installation, the database was not initialised.

I presume this was due to the fact that the DB user was missing some priviledges.

 

A re-installation from scratch worked fine. :thumbsup:

I had the same issue... the problem was a result of missing data in the database, so if you have the same problem check the database first..

What was the missing data?

What was the missing data?

 

I would also like to know what data is missing?
