Localserver help needed

[Charene]

Hi,

 

I'm new to php, and maintaining my own site. After following the forums for a while, I realised that it was possible to have a copy of my site on my pc, for testing purposes.

I've downloaded WampServer, and installed Oscommerce on my pc. The Oscommerce site is working fine, but I can not access my admin area, in order to upload products, or make other admin changes.

 

After I installed OsCommerce, I FTP'd the files from my website to my virtual site. I would really appreciate it if somebody could help me with the following questions:

 

1. Which files need to be altered, in order for the site to work on my localhost site?

2. What changes do I need to make to these?

3. I get the following error:

 

"Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client in C:\wamp\www\admin\includes\functions\database.php on line 19

Unable to connect to database server!"

 

How do I fix this?

 

Thanks!

Charene

If your hosting panel looks different than the instructions, start with the "PHP" section.

 

 

IF USING SSL:

BACKUP your current files before editing. Did I mention to BACKUP your current files, first?

 

/catalog/includes/configure.php

  define('HTTP_SERVER', 'https://www.yourdomain.tld'); 
 define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.yourdomain.tld');
 define('ENABLE_SSL', true); 
 define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'www.yourdomain.tld');
 define('HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'www.yourdomain.tld');

 

/catalog/admin/includes/configure.php

  define('HTTP_SERVER', 'https://www.yourdomain.tld'); 
 define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://www.yourdomain.tld');
 define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://www.yourdomain.tld');
 define('ENABLE_SSL_CATALOG', 'true'); 
 define('DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT', '/home/username/public_html'); 
 define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/catalog/admin/'); 
 define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', '/home/username/public_html/catalog/admin/'); // 
 define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/catalog/'); 
 define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/home/username/public_html/catalog/');

 

Notice the S in:

HTTP_SERVER and HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER
