puredude Posted October 18, 2002 Share Posted October 18, 2002 Hello, I am pretty new to OSC. I followed the link for the most current stable release (2.1), downloaded it, installed it, and I think I got it all set up correctly in application_top.php; however, it will not connect to the database server... and I don't blame it, since everybody else seems to have a couple of configure.php files, where I tell it a username/password, but I cannot even find those 2 files! :? I saw where some of you are using version 2.2 - I personally did not see any links for a stable release of 2.2. Is there one, or are you people running the daily beta snapshots in your production environments? :shock: Honestly, that would make me a little nervous. Either way, it seems like the "most current stable release" (of anything) should come with all of the necessary files included, IMHO. Anyone know where I can get the 2 missing configure.php files for OSC 2.1? If not, are there known good snapshot dates of 2.2? Thank you! Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life.

Mark Evans Posted October 18, 2002 Share Posted October 18, 2002 Anyone know where I can get the 2 missing configure.php files for OSC 2.1? configure.php did not exist for 2.1 so I guess that's why you cant find them :) The database info for 2.1 is stored in application_top.php Mark Evans osCommerce Monkey & Lead Guitarist for "Sparky + the Monkeys" (Album on sale in all good record shops) --------------------------------------- Software is like sex: It's better when it's free.

puredude Posted October 18, 2002 Author Share Posted October 18, 2002 Yep, it was right in front of my face: lines 89-93 of application_top.php - somehow I missed that section when I was going through and setting all the rest of the variables. :oops: Once I got those DB variables, it worked like a charm, EXCEPT for this error message at the page footer: Warning: Failed to write session data (files). Please verify that the current setting of session.save_path is correct (/tmp) in Unknown on line 0 If any of my fellow newbies are getting this error, I fixed it by editing catalog/includes/classes/sessions.php and admin/includes/classes/sessions.php - line 76 of each file has a variable that needs to be set to match a valid temp directory name. I had to create one because I'm on a shared web host and have no access to the root. One way to do this is to (use SSH for a secure) telnet to your host and then type: cd ~ mkdir tmp OSC 2.1 looks great and my hat is off to the developers! :D As soon as I get the store set up and running, I look forward to checking out 2.2 on a test server, too.
