1.) if yer tring to install 2.1....it can be done....but

 

2.) 2.2 has an install script.....much easier.

 

3.) get the documentation for 2.2 at

http://www.oscdox.com

and read it

 

4.) should take no more than10 min to be up and running...

Hello, I am also having troubles. Seems to me i'm missing the Config.php in both the admin and catalog. This is v. 2.1

 

I have successfully(sp) installed the tables for the catalog and can see that end however I am not able to view the admin side. I get the "unable to connect to server!" message.

I have edited the application_top.html for both exactly the same, why am I getting this error.

 

I also tried to download v. 2.2 and am unable to connect with tep.sourceforge.net server.

 

any help would be greatly appreciated. I've already looked in the documentation, evidently I may be missing the install.php file also.

mmmm I guess I type slow.....

 

like I said, unable to download 2.2 off tep. sourceforge.net

 

are there any mirrors?

2.1 does not have an install script.

at the "Installation Complete" page......

 

possibly permissions???

 

Do I need to correct anything???

 

Thanks.

no access to admin tools. says page not found ~DNS page in explorer 6

 

ok when go to catalog page.

 

anyone?

[Guest]

check your paths

 

is admin a sub dir of catalog?

 

look at your /includes/configure.php files

[Jade Dragon]

for some dumb reason my admin files went to /admin/admin/ and the paths said /catalog/admin.

 

changed them.....

to /admin/

 

double check the preferences and walla!!!

 

am now successfull.....

 

 

Thanks for your help!!!!
