nwatko Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 I really hope someone can help me with this since I do not want to reinstall all the files then modify them again. What happened was I was having trouble with the FedEx Label contribution not displaying the correct order status. So I deleted the extra order status I had added after installing FedEx Label contribution. Then I went to file manager and clicked reset thinking I would need to reset the cart to get this change to take correctly. Well to make a long story short once I reset with the reset button under file manager now when I go to the Website and try to add a product to the cart or try and login as a customer it just refreshes the page and does nothing. Does anyone know what might be going on? Thanks for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ddp Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Still hoping someone might be able to help me. :-" First thing is to not use the file manager included with oscommerce. It is buggy. Revert any files you had changed with it from a backup. If this was the first contribution you have installed then you can revert to the original files. For your info here is my method for backing up while making changes: How to backup in OSC: I usually double up on this to be super idiot proof. Before I install any contrib I backup my database then ftp my whole site to my computer. I keep all these bckups in dated folders so I could revert back to any previous version of the site if I wish Then as I go through adding the contribution I save a renamed backup version of each file that is changed. For instance if I was changing the index.php file I would first save the file as index_old.php so if I muck it up I can always delete the mucked up file and rename index_old.php to index.php and the file is back where it started. Then I can take my time to figure out where my problem was. If you did not backup your files you might need to install another version on osc on your server in a different folder and copy the files you need from the fresh install. Backup before making changes. Backup before making changes! Backup before making changes!! You did do a backup? eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwatko Posted August 17, 2006 Author Share Posted August 17, 2006 Thanks for the reply. I found out what the problem was. I had set the make URLs Search Engine Friendly to True and that is what was causing these problems. Once I set that back to False everything is back to normal. Needless to say after that scare I make sure to back everything up now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
