Xampp & local copy of store

[MagickWomyn]

I've got Xampp on my pc to work on development sites. I've got a copy of a store that I need to work on and I'm having trouble figuring out the correct path in both configure files. The store is inside a folder, not the root or catalog folder because of other sites under construction.

 

I've got the site up at *http://127.0.0.1 (no * in the php file). The site is located in C:/program files/xampp/htdocs/BRM. The big problem is what path to use for everything to work right.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

I use pure apache on my PC (didn't bother with a package)

 

This should work ..

 

  define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://localhost'); 
 define('HTTPS_SERVER', '');
 define('ENABLE_SSL', false); // secure webserver for checkout procedure?
 define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'localhost');
 define('HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN', '');
 define('HTTP_COOKIE_PATH', '/BRM/');
 define('HTTPS_COOKIE_PATH', '');
 define('DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG', '/BRM/');
 define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '');
 define('DIR_WS_IMAGES', 'images/');
 define('DIR_WS_ICONS', DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'icons/');
 define('DIR_WS_INCLUDES', 'includes/');
 define('DIR_WS_BOXES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'boxes/');
 define('DIR_WS_FUNCTIONS', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'functions/');
 define('DIR_WS_CLASSES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'classes/');
 define('DIR_WS_MODULES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'modules/');

I've got the catalog side of it working. Thanks! I'm trying to fix the admin side. I get an error when I try to access it.

 

Server error!

The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request. Either the server is overloaded or there was an error in a CGI script.

 

If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.

 

Error 500

127.0.0.1

09/03/06 20:35:29

Apache/2.2.2 (Win32) DAV/2 mod_ssl/2.2.2 OpenSSL/0.9.8a mod_autoindex_color PHP/4.4.2

 

Is this from the path not being correct in the admin/configure? Or is it correct and I've got something else going on?

 

Here's what I've got now:

 

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://127.0.0.1'); // eg, http://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers

define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://127.0.0.1');

define('DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT', 'C:/Program Files/xampp/htdocs/BRM/'); // where the pages are located on the server

define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/BRM/admin/'); // absolute path required

define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', 'C:/Program Files/xampp/htdocs/BRM/admin/'); // absolute pate required

define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/'); // absolute path required

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', 'C:/Program Files/xampp/htdocs/BRM/'); // absolute path required

 

Thanks again for the assistance!

Try changing both instances of http://127.0.0.1 to http://localhost

Try changing both instances of http://127.0.0.1 to http://localhost

If I change it to localhost, I get the error message... unable to connect to web server. :(

 

Would this have anything to do with the admin still being password protected?

What I don't understand is why the installer didn't install correctly in the first place.

If you are running XAMPP from the Xampp Control Panel , is Apache AND Mysql both running?

[emanresu]

Try changing

 

define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/'); // absolute path required

 

to

 

define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/brm/'); // absolute path required.

[MagickWomyn]

Try changing

 

define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/'); // absolute path required

 

to

 

define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/brm/'); // absolute path required.

 

I've verified that Apache & Mysql are running. Changing to /BRM/ gives the same error. I tried deleting .htaccess from admin directory. I can get to the admin screen that way, but I get a 404 error when I try to access anything in the admin.

Maybe you would be best installing a new store, then you would have 2 correct configure files. Just temporarily rename your BRM directory first.

I had tried this because I didn't want to edit a "live" store and figured I could tweak it on my PC. I've even compared the configure files against my local machine files and can't find a solution. I've got the catalog side running, but can't get past the landing page in admin.

 

I have thought about that option. The store copy I have has been modified but as far as I can tell it's all cosmetic. There is a forum installed on it, but that has been commented out because it won't be used. I'm assuming if I do a new install I'll have to do the following to the new site:

 

1. Copy the information files.

2. Copy the stylesheet.

3. Import the database.

 

Would it be feasible to copy the latest version store (it has contribs installed) from my local drive to the website and then change the configure files to match the original site settings?

Maybe this is obvious but it's not obvious to me through the above threads.

 

Can you install a fresh Osc on your local server and it works?

Yes. I can install a fresh version. I have done that to have a new store to work with and try out contribs. The one I'm working on now is the latest version of OSC with Header Tags, FAQ Desk, and several cosmetic changes. It works fine.

And admin works on a fresh install?

Everything works fine on the local install. Just can't get the copied site to work.

Does your live store have Ultimate SEO installed?

[MagickWomyn]

Does your live store have Ultimate SEO installed?

 

The only change I have found to the live store is a forum contrib.

[MagickWomyn]

The only change I have found to the live store is a forum contrib.

 

I'll post my configure files, maybe someone can see something I missed. The catalog configure seems to be fine because the catalog side functions.

 

Here's the catalog side - located in C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\BRM\includes\configure.php:

The only query I have is that XAMPP usually installs to c:/apachefriends/xampp/htdocs/

[spax]

I run xampp from Program Files too. The 500 error, is an internal server error so maybe your forum uses a CGI script?

 

Clutching at straws here! :huh:

When I installed Xampp I used the default install path for this version.

 

XAMPP Control Panel Version 2.3 (17. May, 2006)

[MagickWomyn]

I solved the problem. I used a backup of the development copy of the admin\includes\configure.php. Changed the path and it worked.

 

Thanks to everyone for trying to help!
