admin area problem after local install

[bagman]

Can anyone help??? I installed OSC with one or two problems but have just about sorted..my admin page displays "The directory name is invalid." when trying to access the following url.."http://localhost/catalog/admin/index.php". I have checked the properties view and THAT says a different path ie "http://localhost/admin/login.php?"

 

As you can see it is not pointing at the right place, the "catalog" is missing from the properties view. I have tried the config file..catalog>admin>includes?configure.php which is listed below....can anyone spot an error or should I be looking elsewhere???

 

thanx in advance

Try this:

 

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://localhost/catalog');

define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/admin/');

define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/');

Thanx for the quick reply. Your answer allows me to access the login page of the admin area but when I try to log in I get the following message

 

"PHP Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: open(/tmp\sess_3aovfuhmf8c52n83vuj984hid6, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\catalog\admin\includes\functions\sessions.php on line 97 PHP Warning: session_write_close() [function.session-write-close]: open(/tmp\sess_3aovfuhmf8c52n83vuj984hid6, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\catalog\admin\includes\functions\sessions.php on line 149 PHP Warning: session_write_close() [function.session-write-close]: Failed to write session data (files). Please verify that the current setting of session.save_path is correct (/tmp) in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\catalog\admin\includes\functions\sessions.php on line 149*

 

Can you help with this one?

 

On a previous install I set the temp directory to NO but that was in the admin area!!

BUMP please

..catalog>admin>includes?configure.php does not quite fit with what you have.

 

There are two config.php files, one in catalog/includes and one in admin/includes.

 

There may be another 2 in the includes/local directory of admin and catalog.

can you explain what you mean? I have checked and there is only one version of the admin includes and one version of the catalog include. I have posted the catalog includes below

can you explain what you mean? the word may means that the installation process or installing a contribution could have required a local folder. If you do not have it, do not worry about it.

 

define('DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG', '');

needs a value.
