scotch33 Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Hi, I am doing my first manual install as on my new dedicated server the install.php script fails on 'stage2' (even though I have registered globals in the php.ini file). I am getting there and have it showing now, but am getting a series of issues with the front end. 1. This appears at the top of the page... Warning: file_exists() [function.file-exists]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/install) is not within the allowed path(s): (/tmp:/home/default/charliescateringhire.co.uk) in /home/default/webname.co.uk/user/htdocs/catalog/includes/header.php on line 15 Warning: file_exists() [function.file-exists]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/includes/configure.php) is not within the allowed path(s): (/tmp:/home/default/charliescateringhire.co.uk) in /home/default/webname.co.uk/user/htdocs/catalog/includes/header.php on line 22 (webname.co.uk is a replacement for my real name which appears there when i see it - just changed here for security) 2. If i try to move to any of the products - I am getting 'product not found' issues. can anyone help with this - I am guessing that it is in my config - copieds below with the sensitive elemenst replaced with 'webname' <?php /* osCommerce, Open Source E-Commerce Solutions http://www.oscommerce.com Copyright © 2003 osCommerce Released under the GNU General Public License */ // Define the webserver and path parameters // * DIR_FS_* = Filesystem directories (local/physical) // * DIR_WS_* = Webserver directories (virtual/URL) define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.webname.co.uk'); // eg, http://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers define('HTTPS_SERVER', ''); // eg, https://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers define('ENABLE_SSL', false); // secure webserver for checkout procedure? define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'www.webname.co.uk'); define('HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN', ''); define('HTTP_COOKIE_PATH', '/catalog/'); define('HTTPS_COOKIE_PATH', ''); define('DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG', '/catalog/'); define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', ''); define('DIR_WS_IMAGES', 'images/'); define('DIR_WS_ICONS', DIR_WS_IMAGES .

scotch33 Posted May 23, 2007 Author Share Posted May 23, 2007 Turn 'off' Safe Mode in php.ini Vger Hi there, Just checked - safe more is off. - all php.ini safe mode elements are as below... safe_mode Off safe_mode_exec_dir no value safe_mode_gid Off safe_mode_include_dir no value Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥Vger Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 open_basedir restriction in effect Those limitations only come into effect when Safe Mode is on - check that you are editing the correct php.ini file. Vger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotch33 Posted May 23, 2007 Author Share Posted May 23, 2007 open_basedir restriction in effect Those limitations only come into effect when Safe Mode is on - check that you are editing the correct php.ini file. Vger I am pretty sure I am - I have edited a series of other elements of it and those changes have taken place. The site is www.charliescateringhire.co.uk - there is a info file - http://www.charliescateringhire.co.uk/phpinfo.php that shows the php setup - its saying that safe mode is off. is there another explanation?

♥Vger Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 One question - why - if you have completed the install - do you still have the 'install' folder in place? It should be deleted after the install is completed. Vger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotch33 Posted May 24, 2007 Author Share Posted May 24, 2007 One question - why - if you have completed the install - do you still have the 'install' folder in place? It should be deleted after the install is completed. Vger I normally delete it just before I start to customise a shop, buyt once the shop is running correctly from the off the shelf version. This is in case I need to re-install etc. Do you think that could be having an affect? And what is your opinion on the fact safe mode is off? Is there anything else that would cause the issues? Thanks! John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sugiartha Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 try to add this line for debugging (in header.php) echo 'debug: ' . dirname($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['SCRIPT_FILENAME']); Sugiartha ------------------------------------------ concept of life: enjoy aja!

scotch33 Posted May 24, 2007 Author Share Posted May 24, 2007 ok - any particular place? I have placed it at the end of the php by the first tabler in the header. The results in the file http://www.charliescateringhire.co.uk/catalog/index.php now add the word 'debug' at the top of the page, but dom't tell me anything new. Thanks! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sugiartha Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 yes! it tell something. take alook at piece of code in header.php : if (file_exists(dirname($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['SCRIPT_FILENAME']) . '/install')) { $HTTP_SERVER_VARS did not have value! try to add this at the bottom of application_top.php if(!$HTTP_SERVER_VARS) $HTTP_SERVER_VARS = $_SERVER; Sugiartha ------------------------------------------ concept of life: enjoy aja!

However, whilst I am no loger getting the errors now, I am nstill unable to get to any products or categories - cats does nothing, and clicking oin a priduct gets to 'product not found' Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sugiartha Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 you need similar codes: if(!$HTTP_GET_VARS) $HTTP_GET_VARS = $_GET; if(!$HTTP_POST_VARS) $HTTP_POST_VARS = $_POST; Sugiartha ------------------------------------------ concept of life: enjoy aja!

Great- that worked. Can I ask you what it was that was causing it and how those codes helped? I am interested so I can get my brain around PHP a little more. I am also having trouble with the back end of the site, but before I ask more I will attempt to implement the codes here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sugiartha Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 Can I ask you what it was that was causing it and how those codes helped? as stated at PHP manual ... you'll notice how the older predefined variables ($HTTP_*_VARS) still exist. As of PHP 5.0.0, the long PHP predefined variable arrays may be disabled with the register_long_arrays directive.... Sugiartha ------------------------------------------ concept of life: enjoy aja!

harlananelson Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 you need similar codes: if(!$HTTP_GET_VARS) $HTTP_GET_VARS = $_GET; if(!$HTTP_POST_VARS) $HTTP_POST_VARS = $_POST; You must be a genious because even though I don't understand what happened, I applied your solution and the administation panel seems to be working. Can I learn this stuff by studying PHP or do I need to study server administration? Harlan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
