Preview Release 2.1 or osCommerce 2.2

[Antipas]

Ok now I know why I am so confused I am running Release 2.1 Currently.

 

Should i be running Preview Release 2.1 or osCommerce 2.2?

[♥Loaded Commerce]

we install all 2.2 cvs for our customers.

 

I would go with 2.2

Good thing I have a month before I have to go live I can have a great learning curve should I do an update or a fresh install? I have not made that many changes. (about 5 hours worth in the catalog.sql)

There is an upgrade script.

 

BACKUP EVERYTHING FIRST.

 

then try the upgrade script.

 

if it bombs, then go for your own manual upgrade on a fresh install.

thank you :)

 

The past couple days have been a crash course in php and mysql. I went and hit the bookstore Last night, I think I have my self even more confused than when I started. I did some research on having a E-commerce sight set up for me and the cost?s were out of this world so i am glad I found osCommerce. Thanks everyone for all your help I will be the newbie posting stupid questions for the next month the only good thing is I do RTFM when I can find it.

2.2 is not ready

 

if problem, you will get no help or support not as much as 2.1

This is (sorry to be harsh) nonsense.

 

90% of all posts in this forum deal with 2.2-CVS.

 

We support both solutions, hell we even support some very obscure customizations. We (the developers) are working on 2.2 so guess what code is better known to us?

 

If 2.2-CVS has the features you need - use it.

 

It is in development though, so there might be changes happening. But if your snapshot does the job you want it to do - go ahead.

 

HTH

2.2 has more bells and whistles, thats why I upgraded

 

there are pros and cons to cvs

 

I will wait awhile then do fresh install of new cvs, cuz mine is kaput!

Good thing I'm just testing, I wouldnt want to mess with live site with cvs.

ok so the install went good took less then a hour talk to me about these error?s? plus i have these little black box's all over the place in the corner of every box?

 

My current plan to rm -rf and re install in root web server i.e. /usr/home/geeks/www/www.myserver.org/ with out all the catalog?s and to move the admin under /usr/home/geeks/www/www.myserver.org/admin wish me luck! I will keep you posted

 

i think some of my error's are due to my install path's

I'm happy!

 

go for the 2.2.....

Ok I went ahead and updated everything went smooth so far every once in a wile i get a strange error and get kicked out of something but if I go back and do it the second time it seems to work so *shrug* go figure now I just have to re customize it is there a way to update that will save your customizations? i.e. logo?s banner?s buttons ?

Well, I'm still new here... And I'm really confuse with all off it.

Right now, I have downloaded the PR2.1 and I can't find the install/install.php file.

After read some of these post, it said that I have download the 2.2 cvs.

So is 2.2 cvs same with oscommerce 2.2????

What is the different within them (PR2.1 & 2.2 cvs)?

Which version is the good one??

hi antipas

 

Could you please describe how you got rid of the errors described - as if you read a few posts down myself and another member are also having the exact same errors as you described

thanks in advance

I noticed on your line that reads:

-------------------

Warning: fopen("/usr/home/geeks/www/www.myserver.org/catalog//admin/admin/includes/configure.php", "w") - No such file or directory

 

-------------------

 

it has two '//' between '/catalog//admin/admin/includes'

 

plus it has '//admin/admin'

 

I think you need to change something in your path or home directory.

 

Look in the application_top.php file. I had to make a ton of changes there to get my install to work.
