New Install, Problem please advise

[kodiak1976]

I just installed the software and when I open the stores front page www.danshunting.com/store I get the following

 

Error Messages

 

If there are any error or warning messages shown above, please correct them first before proceeding.

 

Error messages are displayed at the very top of the page with a complete background color.

 

Several checks are performed to ensure a healthy setup of your online store - these checks can be disabled by editing the appropriate parameters at the bottom of the includes/application_top.php file.

Editing Page Texts

 

The text shown here can be modified in the following file, on each language basis:

 

[path to catalog]/includes/languages/english/index.php

 

That file can be edited manually, or via the Administration Tool with the Languages->English->Define or Tools->File Manager modules.

 

The text is set in the following manner:

 

define('TEXT_MAIN', 'This is a default setup of the osCommerce project...');

 

The text highlighted in green may be modified - it is important to keep the define() of the TEXT_MAIN keyword. To remove the text for TEXT_MAIN completely, the following example is used where only two single quote characters exist:

 

define('TEXT_MAIN', '');

 

More information concerning the PHP define() function can be read here.

They are not errors, they simply tell you what you need to do next. Here is a starting point.

I did that and the main page is still the same

OK, so in /includes/languages/english/index.php

you found

define('TEXT_MAIN', 'This is a default setup of the osCommerce project...');

and changed it to

define('TEXT_MAIN', '');

and the page did not change?

No problem, there is a lot to get used to. I was worried that you were using the admin file manager to do your edits.

I remember when that page freaked me out too! Coopco, I feel like an old pro now! Wish I had the knowledge of an old pro though. :D That was my first boo-boo. I deleted all of it from TEXT_MAIN to the end and was typing my text that I wanted and was so proud. LOL Needless to say, that was my first reinstall.

 

Advice: Take your time, read the forums, read anything you can! Only take out the text on that line past TEXT_MAIN and replace it with yours. Only do a little at a time if you're not comfortable, which is what I did ultimately. I did a little, saved it, went back and looked, did a little more. So I wouldnt get overzealous, I typed what I wanted BEFORE the 'This is a default setup...." so that I had a reference point to NOT go beyond.

Hi Michell

 

It is so easy to trip up with little things, then we say "won't do that again", but we do.

 

The big secret is (but don't tell anyone) is to backup before you make changes.
