Download products help

[Guest]

Hi all

 

I can't seem to get my download products to work. Here's what I did:

 

- in the store admin, I went to configuration/dowload. Both "enable download" and "download by redirect" are set to TRUE. Expiry delay is at 7 days and max downloads is at 5.

 

- I uploaded my Zip files in the store/download folder. In the instructions it says to put them in store/cataloque/download, but there isn't a download or pub folder in "catalogue"; only in "store".

 

- I made sure "pub" was at 777 and "download" at 755

 

- I made sure in "includes/configure.php" that both pub and download had the forward slash

 

- I added 1 product for download in my categories

 

- In "product attributes", I selected my product and added the file name and clicked INSERT.

 

Once I activated the "enable download" and "download by redirect" to TRUE, I had this message in red at the top of my live store: Warning: The downloadable products directory does not exist: /home/httpd/vhosts/touchphotography.com/httpdocs/storedownload/. Downloadable products will not work until this directory is valid.

 

You can see for yourself HERE.

 

I don't have a storedownload folder with OSCommerce.

 

If someone could help me out that would be greatly appreciated.

Looks like you just dont have your configuration paths quite tweaked.

 

Where your error says:

httpdocs/storedownload/

 

I think it is missing a / .. after the word store .. which is screwing your download path up.

 

Try going into your /catalog/includes/configure.php

 

Find the line that reads:

define('DIR_FS_DOWNLOAD', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'download/');

 

CHANGE IT TO:

define('DIR_FS_DOWNLOAD', DIR_FS_CATALOG . '/download/'); // was download/

 

 

I think this is a default install code error .. beacuse I got caught up on that one too.

I had to add the / before the word download ... so the download directory would be correct.

 

Hope that works for you.
