Guest Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 I have several times tried to walk a trial order through as if a regular user. Each time I am asked, repeatedly, to register. I fill in all the starred (*) fields and submit the data ... only to be returned to the data entry page. Attempts to login from that page meet with the same results. It APPEARS that the data isn't being written to the database but, beyond that bit of guesswork, I'm stumped. Did I toast a config setting? Do I have a perm set wrong? I've read through to page 29 of the 2.2m2 manual and spent he last hour surfing the forums looking for some sort of clue to fix this. If you don't feel like giving a full answer, perhaps you could direct me to the manual page where the information appears and I could puzzle things out from there. I only have a couple of items listed (out of a good 50-60 NEEDING to be listed) until I get this straightened out. The only 'blunt instrument editing' I have done was to delete the default text (leaving behind the empty brckets for future use.) and this problem existed before I did that editing.

TIA, Bill http://nmwoodworks.com/catalog Hi ! Just tried to login and think your problem comes from the http: and https: transition, as I get a warning when I click on "create an account" in the beginning of the process. Take a look in your configure.php files and be sure your paths are correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take a look in your configure.php files and be sure your paths are correct. Thanks for giving it a shot, Barb. I am not getting a warning. (Firefox 2.0.0.1) What I get is redirection from "http://nmwoodworks.com/catalog/" to https://www.nmwoodworks.com/~nmwoodwo/catal...nnnnnnnnnnnnnnn This brings me to the user registration data entry screen. When I try to register. everything looks like it is going to work. But, for the 23rd time, it doesn't. Do you know if osCommerce keeps all of its data in one big file or if there is a separate one for customer data whose permissions / existence I can check? Everything goes along swimmingly until I 'save' the data -- and then I am shunted back to the sign-in page in a loop-endless-loop-endless-loop ... When I try to get my password sent to the email address I used, it blurts out " Error: The E-Mail Address was not found in our records, please try again." And then sits there, waiting for a better address that can never come. I don't think that the data is ever getting written because two different code streams can not find it.

Sorry for the doubled post above. There doesn't seem to be any way for me to delete it. My config file closely resembles this snippet define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.sitename.com'); // eg, http://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.sitename.com'); // eg, https://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers define('ENABLE_SSL', true); // secure webserver for checkout procedure I notice that I was able to register ONE user the day after I installed and I was able to delete that entry tonight. So the database is working as it should. It appears that my perms are messed up but I really don't know where to turn from here. I know that I am only a judicious application of CHMOD away from much happiness and instant wealth. Well, sort of. But I don't know which directory would like that attention.
