Troubles with configure.php

[newbieman]

Testsite is located in a sub-domain called www.ecomm.testsite.com

Physical server path is: /var/www/ecomm/

 

What works?

1. Website appears

2. Database works... and I can add products to the shopping cart

 

Current issues:

1. Catalog images do not appear (the catalog index pictures are also missing)

2. I see a message stating, "Warning: The downloadable products directory does not exist: /download/. Downloadable products will not work until this directory is valid."

3. I cannot access the web admin panel

when I type in www.ecomm.testsite.com/admin/login.php

it immediate resolves into www.ecomm.testsite.com/var/www/ecomm/admin/login.php

"The requested URL /var/www/ecomm/admin/login.php was not found on this server." - technically this is its correct absolute path but I get a 404 error (page not found)

 

These problems persist despite everything seeming correct in both configure.php files. I have tried virtually every permutation of path configurations with absolutely no

change in the results. :'(

 

Any assistance will be most appreciated. :)

Thank you for your kind assistance!

Do I smell or have leprosy or I have been banned or something?

 

Not only are my questions rarely viewed by more than single digits, but I almost never get responses.

 

:-(

 

I guess I will search Google and this site for paid support...

You could read through here and post here for expert advice, you think? You've got some path problems.

p.s. 1 hour 45 mins does not patience make.

>p.s. 1 hour 45 mins does not patience make.

 

Actually, I've been asking the same question for several days now. I've just become a little frustrated. :-]

 

I have also combed through the Quick Install Guide as well as a number of other resources on the Internet. I am at the point now where this is costing me too much in time. I am willing to pay someone to tell me what I'm doing wrong and how to fix it.

 

Thank you for your reply. It is certainly appreciated.

 

BTW, I was being factious with that whole smell and leprosy thing. :-)

For those of you who are experiencing similar trouble and getting little help... I will keep you posted on my developments.

 

I am going it alone until I figure this out or I find someone (pay or free) who can assist me (not do it for me).

 

BTW, I found an excellent tutorial on the dreaded configure.php files located here: http://www.oscommerce.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=193738 (Thank you Gil_e_n for this!)

Well folks, I am both embarrassed and pissed!

 

When I discovered no change to my website after making a number changes to the configure.php files that SHOULD have made a noticeable difference (good or bad)... I found the problem! It was both my FTP client and me (for not realizing this earlier)!

 

My configure.php files were 444'd (read only) but when my FTP client ($%&$@) FlashFXP asked if I wish to over-write, I naturally ASSUMED that when I clicked yes, it would ACTUALLY overwrite these files! Since the log error, "[R] 550 configure.php: Permission denied" was rather subtle..... I never noticed it until now. I am not impressed that their is no automatic chmod with Flashfxp!

 

Time to get rid of FlashFXP or take a vacation!

 

BTW, I have successfully moved my oscommerce to another domain. And it wasn't that difficult after all! <_<
