by the looks of it, you did NOT install with the install folder, right?

 

 

i mean

 

/catalog/install/

 

 

at any rate, you are getting that because the server is complaining. it's telling you that there is a file, trying to gain access to the database, with that informatin.

 

go to /catalog/includes/configure.php at the bottom of the page, you will see those database information.

 

same with admin

 

/admin/includes/configure.php

 

you must configure these files before you will ever reach your database. using the /catalog/install/ folder is much easier though.

Hi trusten

I'm having this problem on http:// mysite.

 

The strange thing is that Admin works fine - with identical parameters in the configuration file as with catalog/includes/configuration.php. I can change the shop config and image size presets and file manager and everything. When I installed catalog/install/install.php it told me that the configuration was successful except for:

Step 2: osCommerce Configuration

 

Warning: fopen("/home/mywebsite/web/catalog/includes/configure.php", "w") - Permission denied in /home/mywebsite/web/catalog/install/templates/pages/install_5.php on line 114

The configuration was successful!

 

What do you think?

i think your shop is slightly buggard.

 

when that happened, it was usually because a file was damaged, and i mean that. that happened to me before. what i had to do was completely re-upload the files.

 

 

your database is your store. all that matters is your database. do this, back up your database, from phpmyadmin, and name it oscommerce.sql

 

then, replace that oscommerce.sql in the 'install' folder, with YOUR oscommerce.sql.

 

otherwise, re-upload the whole catalog. (just rename the folder of the current catalog, don't overwrite it). make a new folder of the proper name of the catalog, upload the files (including your oscommerce.sql) (consider putting it into a new database if you can).

 

then go through the install one more time, using your bk up as the oscommerce.sql file.

 

you'll have to recustomize any changes you've made, but trust me, as far as i can tell, you did something to sheg up your config file.

 

like i said, it happened to me before. all i could do was rebuild.

 

 

let me know how it goes. oh, and make two bk's for your database, also, make sure you RENAME the folder that your catalog is in now, that way, worse case sanerio, it'll act as a store back up.

 

so here goes

 

1. make a new folder (name doesn't matter)

2. upload the files

3. back up your database, twice, making sure to name the file oscommerce.sql

4. replace the oscommerce.sql in the new install folder, with your database back up oscommerce.sql

5. go through the install once more

6. go back through and 'upgrade' right after you install (that'll clean things up in the database)

7. server hot, and customize to your liking.

 

 

bon appetit

Hey trusten,

I was already thinking the same thing-so I actually replaced the main catalog file with one I had running on another server, changed the config file to match my new server an viola!

Its taken me a full 48 hours non stop to work it out - I'm beat - good night.
