Directory not found errors - I'm stumped!

[The Fold]

Hi there,

 

I've just installed osC via my hosting company that had an auto setup script for it, however when I've gone in to the admin section to put in our products and get things setup I have been getting the following errors:

 

Error: Catalog images directory does not exist: DIR_FS_CATALOG_IMAGES

 

Error: Backup directory does not exist. Please set this in configure.php.

 

Warning: dir(DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT): failed to open dir: No such file or directory in /home/bigdrcom/public_html/shop/admin/file_manager.php on line 178

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/bigdrcom/public_html/shop/admin/file_manager.php on line 179

 

After searching this forum and 1 other (it's the only results that came up on Google) I edited the includes/configure.php file so that it now reads as follows:

 

<?php

However, despite trying an absolute path and putting in the variables I'm still getting the errors.

 

I've also tried setting the images directory to 777 without any joy.

 

Any ideas anyone, as I'm really stumped on this one!!

I think you have mixed up the configure files. The one you want for the admin is located in admin/includes/configure.php.

Thanks! That worked a treat. I also found that doing a manual install of the system as opposed to the auto setup fixed a lot of things as well.
