new installation - Page Can Not be Found

doremient · November 14, 2006

I have uploaded and installed. The install went fine. I can access the admin panel and maneuver around, adding categories etc...

However, when I go to the site and I click ona category it gives me a page can not be found page. I'm sure it is just a path I need to fix, but I am not sure which path and which file.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

What is the URL of the "missing" page?

doremient · November 15, 2006

What is the URL of the "missing" page?

http://www.magicalelements.com/catalog/ this is the URL for the main page of the store.

If I click on any link, it gives me a page can not be found error.

This is one of the linked pages

http://www.magicalelements.com/catalog/index.php/cPath/25

I think your problem is the /cpath/25 part. It shouldn't be there since, when I remove it to the end of index.php (which doesn't really have to be there either) I get your store's main page.

If you wish to post your catalog/includes/configure.php file (with the server information at the bottom asterisked out), I'm sure one of us can tell you what to fix

Well, it looks right for a store that doesn't have SSL, so, compare it to the configure.php file at catalog/admin/includes/ and make sure they are identical. If not, copy the configure.php file from catalog/includes to catalog/admin/includes and let it overwrite the file there.

I don't see any reason, from the file you've provided, that the /index.php/cPath/25 stuff should be tacked on the end.

Have you installed any contribs to this installation?

The admin/includes/config was different so I copied and pasted, I still get the errors

I haven't installed anything else

Ok, one thing I did overlook was that, near the bottom of the configure.php, you have PCONNECT set to true.

This isn't reccomended on a shared server. I don't know if this is the cause of the problem, because I've never seen anyone do it.

If you're not on a dedicated server, change it to FALSE in both copies of configure.php

I changed it to false.

I still can not access pages from the links.

Ok, my ISP is, obviously, having FTP issues at the moment, so I can't get a look at the two configure files to re-confirm that they are absolutely identical.

It's been a long day and I might have missed something that was not terribly obvious and screwed up your admin. I don't know for sure.

If you feel safe in sending me your server info by PM, I will redo the install of your store as I MIGHT be the cause of the admin problem. If so I apologize and I want to make it right by you. Do you still have the install folder there? If not, I can re-upload it.

Since I have installed my store succesfully (several times, actually LOL) and a couple of other people's store on here, chances are extremely good that I will get your store installed correctly as well.

It's the least I can do.

I'm afraid you've been on a total wild goose chase. All you needed to do was to go to your osCommerce admin panel --> My Store and set 'Use Search Engine Friendly URL's' back to false - which is what they were set to in the first place.

Hopefull you kept an unedited copy of the configure.php file which is now messed up.

Raymie,

I have rebuilt your catalog/admin/includes/configure.php file by inserting your information into a copy of my copy of the same file, allowing for the fact that you don't have SSL as seen below

Just cut it and paste it into your catalog/admin/includes/configure.php, fill in your server info, and it should take care of those errors that showed up after I incorrectly told you to overwrite it with the one from catalog/includes.

I'm sure that, if you follow VGer's instructions concerning setting the safe URLs to false, your store will come up fine.

I am also retiring from attempting to help people out as I haven't worked with the program long enough to know all the little tricks and results of incorrect settings as some of the long-timers, so, I will everyone in their capable hands and just concentrate on getting my store ready for launching.

I am, again, sorry for any inconvenience I caused you while trying to help.

Richard
