Where and How do I set up shipping? Help!

[grwd]

:?: :!: :shock: Help!

I am using osCommerce 2.2

In the catalog on the checkout_shipping.php page in the Shipping Method box only says:"This is currently the only shipping method available to use on this order."

If I press the Continue button, the same page just reloads.

 

I have not found anywhere to setup shipping

In the Admin under modules - shipping it just lists the directory where the shipping modules are - with no buttons or instructions.

How is that done?

In the admin side of the store:

admin/modules/shipping you do not have the various shipping method with a green and red button besides ?

No, it just lists the directory where the shipping modules are - but no buttons, instructions, etc.

 

Last night I entered one of the shipping module file names - manually- into the Configure table and now shipping works. BUT - the module STILL doesnt show up in Admin/Modules/Shipping.

Any ideas?

 

BTW - All the above also applies to Payment and Order Total Modules.

That happend to me once, but I double checked my configure.php to make sure the path is correct.

Well, everything LOOKS OK.

All the Admin paths seem to mirror all the catalog paths.

[kn1ght]

this is what's on mine: (../html/includes/configure.php) - not the admin

 

 

define('DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT', '/home/virtual/site2/fst/var/www/html');

 

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/home/virtual/site2/fst/var/www/html/');

define('DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT', '/home/virtual/site2/fst/var/www/html');

 

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/home/virtual/site2/fst/var/www/html/');

 

I'm showing 2 configure.php files One in Admin and one in Catalog.

Which one should I be looking at?

 

Windows Explorer shows the following path:

SERVERCphpWebcatalogcatalogcatalogincludesmodulesshipping

 

This is the path in Admin Configure.php:

SERVERCphpWeb/catalog/catalog/catalog/includes/modules/shipping

 

Are these equilvent?

You are using network shares and not directories. I would not do that.

I'm not familure with the term 'network shares'.

 

I have a Win98 test box on which I'm trying to get osCommerce up and running the way I want it and then when we switch to a new webHost that supports PHP and mySQL I'll hopefully be able to move it to a permanent location.

 

Since I really don't know WHAT I am doing ...

Perhaps you should just tell me what I SHOULD do.

[grwd]

:o Ok!

What fixed it was changing:

SERVERCphpWeb/catalog/catalog/catalog/includes/modules/shipping

to

C:/phpWeb/catalog/catalog/catalog/includes/modules/shipping

 

I had un-thinkinly (is that a word?) installed osCommerce from a 2nd computer on the network and that's where the SERVER stuff must have come from.

 

Thanks guys for all your help.

 

Now - the Confirmation isnt working...:roll:

Errors:

have you tried this?

 

define('DIR_WS_MODULES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'modules/');

 

 

and for your root dir:

 

/catalog/catalog/catalog/ <--??? what's up with that?

 

 

I think Jan means you should use:

 

/phpWeb/catalog/catalog/catalog/

[grwd]

/catalog/catalog/catalog/ <--??? what's up with that?

 

:lol: SEE! That's what happens when someone doen't know what they are doing!

That's how the installer set it up. But I'm sure that I did something wrong.

 

Is there a simple way to clean up the mess?

Now, I presume everything(including admin) is in "/catalog/catalog/catalog/" ??

 

If your "/catalog/catalog/" and "/catalog/" is empty just cut and paste the whole thing into "/catalog/" and change your configure.php

 

btw, Im in arcadia too ;)

Catalog = /catalog/catalog/catalog/

Admin = /catalog/admin/admin

 

The 1st 'catalog' is empty.

The 2nd 'catalog' contains:

CHANGELOG

FAQ

INSTALL

STANDARD

TODO

and

The 3rd 'catalog' contains everything else!

 

Small world! Tell me about yorself!

What you do for a living ect...

If your not an axe murderer - Perhaps you could come over and help straighten this mess out!

:D Never Mind!

I was able to straighten the mess out myself!

I believe - I now have osCommerce - up and running!

(Well, on my test box anyway...)

I'm STILL having this problem...I only have UPS set-up for shipping in Admin (YES, the green light is on, and the zipcode and country codes are correct) and when performing a test "order", I click on the continue button and the page simply reloads. Does anyone out there know HOW to fix this? Please help...Thanks.

[Guest]

Same problem. Show this:

 

This is currently the only shipping method available to use on this order.

? ?

?

 

And when press Continue button reload pages
