Links are not correct in admin (admin not working)

newbieman · March 7, 2007

I cannot get the admin page to work in oscommerce.

Not only are the login page graphics broken, but logging in give me a 404 error.

Can someone explain why the broken pictures have a path of: http://www.ecomm.testsite.com/var/www/ecom...ges/opening.gif

The CORRECT path is actually, "http://www.ecomm.testsite.com/admin/images/opening.gif"

Although this is the actual physical server path name, no where in either configure.php file is there anything written with "/var/www/ecomm".

In the admin, configure.php

I have tried this:

define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/var/www/html/ecomm/admin/'); // absolute path required

define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', '/var/www/html/ecomm/admin/'); // absolute path required

define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/var/www/html/ecomm/'); // absolute path required

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/var/www/html/ecomm/'); // absolute path required

and this:

define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/'); // absolute path required

define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', '/'); // absolute path required

define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/'); // absolute path required

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/'); // absolute path required

but there was absolutely no change on the website for some reason.

Any help is most certainly appreciated.

define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/ecomm/admin/'); // absolute path required

define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', '/var/www/html/ecomm/admin/'); // absolute path required

define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/ecomm/'); // absolute path required

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/var/www/html/ecomm/'); // absolute path required

Don't forget that to be able to overwrite the online admin/includes/configure.php file with the edited file you first have to reset permissions on the file to 644 and then reset them again after the upload.

If that still doesn't work then make sure that there are no alternative configure.php files inside the includes/local/ folders. If you do find any in the 'local' folders then either rename or delete them.

ha ha... I learned that the hard way the last time. :-) Usually I only need to a mistake once and it is forever remembered. :thumbsup:

>no alternative configure.php files inside the includes/local/ folders.

This is an interesting idea. I shall check.

Thank you.

I scanned the entire website hierarchy and found only the following files with "configure.php" in their filename:

epconfigure.php /admin

affiliate_configure.php /includes

configure.php /includes

configure.php.tst /includes

configure.php /pear

affiliate_configure.php /admin/includes

configure.php /admin/includes

configure.php.tst /admin/includes

The current configure.php in root/includes (as viewed from the site):

BUT I still see broken links on the ecomm.testsite.com/admin/login.php (I cannot login either)

The broken links point to www.ecomm.testsite.com/var/www/ecomm/admin/images/picture.gif

Why oh why?

This is so strange!

Does oscommerce cache the configure.php files??????

I just commented out both in a vain attempt to understand why it doesn't seem to matter what changes I make, it get the same results when trying to access the admin.

This time, I renamed both configure.php's to configure.php-test

Not only does my main page work (including database and adding to the cart) but the admin still fails!

What is going on.

I have also confirmed and double checked, there are no other copies of configure.php anywhere on the server.

Arrghh.. help... I need to buy a clue!

Forget it!

I believe I solved the problem. Not as mysterious as I thought.
