Elazar Posted August 6, 2006 Author Share Posted August 6, 2006 open configure.php and replace your sessions line with this define('STORE_SESSIONS', 'mysql'); // leave empty '' for default handler or set to 'mysql' you are seeing a different shop from the same server, I guess :-) Thank very much dear Monika ! I checked the configure.php file and see that it is already set to that configuration. Now I can't switch my site to the English language and also can't browse the categories... :( I don't know what to do, where to start to check that problem ?? Any advise from you will be much appreciated. Thanks :) Best Regards, Elazar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choosealogin Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 I don't mean to butt in, but looks like Monika logged off for now. You probably have the cache turned on. Admin>>configuration>>cache Your (english) category box cache is mixed up with someone else's, on the same (shared) server. Contrary to what you might read, it's (usually) not impossible to use the caching on a shared server. Not if it's set up right. This is a must-read, in my opinion. It's long, but worth the time.... http://www.oscommerce.com/forums/lofiversion/i...hp/t131040.html As a quick fix, you can turn off the cat. box caching, but do read that thread, if you'd like to get it going again.

♥Monika in Germany Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 Mark, you're not butting in at all. Very appreciated, this is real forum board spirit. WTG!

choosealogin Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 Monika, Thanks. I think we could all use some extra board spirity lately. :D Elazar, Did you turn caching off completely? (admin>configuration>cache>use cache FALSE)? Then go to admin>>tools>>cache control and look at the first line Cache Blocks Date Created Action Categories Box File does not exist Reset Make sure your "categories box" cache says "File does not exist " like what I pasted above. Then if you're still in trouble, go back to admin>>configuration>>cache and make a note of the location of the "cache" directory listed there. Then log in w/FTP and change your cache folder name. So if it was /home/elazar/public_html/cache change that 'cache' folder name to something else...your dog's name or whatever you like. Then if your still in trouble, clear your browser cache, cookies, etc...make sure you're looking at a real, fresh, page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not understand one thing. If I go to: admin>>configuration>>cache and see the path as: /temp/ then what should be the folder name that I shuld change (I have 2 folders names called TEMP). Is it the "temp" folder that under the public_html folder or is it the "temp" under www folder ?? Could it be session problem or something else... since I modified the configure.php file according to dear Monika instructions... waiting please for your advise. thanks a lot !!

choosealogin Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 First, I may have rushed and not been very clear on why I suggested renaming the folder. I suggested that in hopes that it would completely elimate your problem, for now...until you can (if you want to) go back and set up the caching again, with Chemo's instructions in that other post I linked to. Now that I got that out of the way, I have a question. What is the whole path you see when you go to admin>>configuration>>cache? It's just /temp/ ? That's it? Is the caching set to FALSE now?

choosealogin Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 When you go to admin>>tools>>cache control Does it say Categories Box File does not exist (Reset icon) ? or does it show a date and time in the middle (instead of file does not exist)?

choosealogin Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 Do you have a link, so I could see the category menu? You can PM it to me if you don't want to post it here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choosealogin Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 Ok, thanks. :D Regardless of the language I choose, I see one category, 'acer memory'. Is that what you are seeing? or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elazar Posted August 6, 2006 Author Share Posted August 6, 2006 Ok, thanks. :D Regardless of the language I choose, I see one category, 'acer memory'. Is that what you are seeing? or not? Yes. But when I try to switch to english language I can't. Does it connected to configure.php file.. since my ftp change the chmod to 644 or it is ok like that. Or I just shoot to the sky... :) Elazar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choosealogin Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 Which page are you referring to? Everything I saw was in English. Maybe I'm being dense...it's very possible :P I assume that you have 2 folders in your catalog/includes/languages/ directory...one for english and one for hebrew, right? The problem of seeing someone else's categories is gone, is that right? I'm still happy to help, but I'm confused about what the new problem is >_< 644 is OK for the configure.php file. The language switch is not based in the configure file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem of seeing someone else's categories is gone. thats right yes 2. visitors can't switch to english language. 3. visitors can't browse the categories. What do you think happened :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choosealogin Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 Ok thanks. :) For #3, try going to your admin tool, then click on configuration>>my store Use Search-Engine Safe URLs (still in development) --> switch this to FALSE Those don't work very well. The "ultimate SEO URL" contribution makes up for that nicely, though. It works, and since you're on an Apache server you'll be able to take full advantage of it's potential. See if your category and/or product are accessible after changing that setting. For #2, I'm a little confused because everything I saw on your site was in english, but I wasn't able to see your product, so maybe I didn't see enough yet. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks a lot !! Regarding the categories, there are only few since it is a demo. But I will have to upload mass of products and I installed easypopulate contrib. 2.78v but then I had some problem with some of the supported contrib. there like linda's contrib, seperate price.. etc. and someone offered me to use your version of easypopulate, and I am going to install it for sure. :) I am a pc memory and other parts Importer/distributor located in Israel. I really really grateful for your help. Please stay in touch pal !!! ;) Regards, Elazar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
