donato Posted September 28, 2002 Share Posted September 28, 2002 Hello All, Just installed sept 26 cvs for 2.2 install process went without a hitch...secured my admin site with htaccess, etc. but now when I am in the admin, and i add all the settings like, store name, owner etc, NOTHING gets updated on default.php ..and thats another thing, when i type in www.mystore.com/catalog/ I get either a dir listing or a 404 Error, even when i click on the goto catalog button in the admin section, it takes me to www.mystore.com/catalog/ with a 404 Error temp fix: created a redirect page, called it index.html as well, contacted my Host, to edit the httpd.conf file to add default.php i do realize that i can edit some file in the catalog/includes/language/english dir to make these config changes, but i want things to be updated via the Admin... any ideas folks? thanks in advance donato Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 28, 2002 Share Posted September 28, 2002 your links do not go anywhere... I can not even get dir listing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donato Posted September 28, 2002 Author Share Posted September 28, 2002 ok here it is: http://www.asroma-addict.com/catalog/default.php i re-checked all permission settings, the catalog dir and default.php is 755 tried talking to my host provider and they suggested the folowing: Try a symbolic link if you can't rename the file (default.php). You can also use mod_rewrite to perform a transparent redirection -- look at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_rewrite.html for more details. but still unclear on why default.php is NOT being updated.

Guest Posted September 28, 2002 Share Posted September 28, 2002 first things first.... I like this a little better than messing with htaccess in any editor <? echo header("Location: http://http://www.asroma-addict.com/catalo...default.php"); exit; ?> name this file index.php upload. this will redirect and will not allow a dir listing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 28, 2002 Share Posted September 28, 2002 oh yeah... this goes in your root dir something like this: /admin /catalog index.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donato Posted September 28, 2002 Author Share Posted September 28, 2002 trying to update everything... like owner name, contact name, just started messing with the config settings... the dir structure is the following... public_html/catalog/admin the admin folder is in the catalog folder...as well, the index.php is in the catalog folder.

donato Posted September 28, 2002 Author Share Posted September 28, 2002 oh... this is my mistake... i do not want to place the index.php in the root of my web dir, unlike most people the store IS NOT gonna be the main page of my site..it is an already existing site, with structure and the OSC is just an addtion to it. so placing the index.php in the root is not gonna be good for me. thanks for the help thus far Wil...anymore ideas? I am sure others are experincing the same problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 28, 2002 Share Posted September 28, 2002 nothing really gets updated on default.php all the changes you are talking about are done in admin and that updates the database. If you are talking about if you are talking about the credits and copy @ at the bottom, the logo and greeting and such...those are hard coded html or definitions found in application_top.php, header.php, footer.php and /includes/languages/*.php those are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
