Going Bald!

[birddogsgarage]

I dont have any hair left to pull out.

I reinstalled a number of times but cant get it to work.

 

I followed the Install and Mod guide to the T (Obviously Im missing something but I would bet my check that I am doing everything it says)

 

When I change the config from

DIR_WS_CATALOG from '/catalog/' to '/' All the links are broken.

If I put the complete directory path the page shows fine but then my links are doubled

ex. birddogsgarage.com/birdogsgarage.com/...

 

Can anyone post a config file that is set up correct that I can see?

 

I think I am getting hung up in the whole webserver root directory webserver catalog directory and just plain root and catalog directory.

 

Any more guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks - TJ

I had a common problem as you and found the only way to do it was to install the admin within the catalog then install the catalog in the root

Seems like you probably have your root server set wrongly... Here's my config file...

 define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', '');

 define('DB_DATABASE', 'Database');

 define('USE_PCONNECT', 'false'); // use persistent connections?

 define('STORE_SESSIONS', ''); // leave empty '' for default handler or set to 'mysql'

?>

 

Hope that helps

PS: Some stuff are edited so I can post it... =) eg:myserver
