How to resurrect my OSC store?

HI Guys,

 

I’m hoping some of you ‘pros’ in here can offer me some help and advice on this matter.

 

I had an OSC store which I stopped using in Jan this year. The site was backed up, (full sites files and DB) and my hosting contract with my then current host expired. Now 8 months later a friend wishes to buy that store from me. I need to upload it to a new domain and make it fully functional again.

 

To sum up –

 

I need to upload to a new ‘shared host’ with a new file path and different domain.

 

I need to upload my old store files and cannot do a new install as my store was modified and had many extra modules and code installed. Also my friend wants to purchase all site graphics etc that are included in the store files. So a new install is not a solution for me.

 

Oh and to make matters worse, the back up of my old DB file is corrupted and cannot be used.

 

I already tried uploading my old store files to the new host and all I get is the - FATAL ERROR: register_globals is disabled in php.ini, please enable it! Error message. My site worked fine with my old host?

 

Whew!, not easy I know but can somebody tell me where to start?

 

Thanks in advance, I appreciate all help

you can find few contribution to fix the register_globals issue.

Please read this line: Do you want to find all the answers to your questions? click here. As for contribution database it's located here!

8 people out of 10 don't bother to read installation manuals. I can recommend: if you can't read the installation manual, don't bother to install any contribution yourself.

Before installing contribution or editing/updating/deleting any files, do the full backup, it will save to you & everyone here on the forum time to fix your issues.

Any issues with oscommerce, I am here to help you.

First upload code.

Upload Db.

 

Now change configure.php in catalog includes and admin/includes.

 

Now if You find errors(assuming You did the configure value right) then they might be due to PHP 5 with register globals Off and Mysql5.

 

Depending on the errors You might have to apply register globals patch and Mysql5 patch or just an additional php.ini that sets register globals on might take care of register globasl issues but YOu are recommened to apply Mysql 5patches.

Ok guys, thanks for all your help.

 

So far I have been able to fix the register globals issues, thanks to you guy!

 

I have edited configure.php with my new DB details and it looks like its connecting but Im getting this error -

 

 

1146 - Table 'web180-store-2.configuration' doesn't exist

 

select configuration_key as cfgKey, configuration_value as cfgValue from configuration

 

[TEP STOP]

 

 

I assume the store needs some tables that were present in my old DB, how can I fix this?

Ok more progress!

 

I got the backup of my od DB to work and have imported it into the new DB

 

Now I get -

 

 

1146 - Table 'web180-store-2.featured' doesn't exist

 

select featured_id from featured where status = '1' and now() >= expires_date and expires_date > 0

 

[TEP STOP]

web180-store-2.featured

 

You need to add that table.

 

You need to download featured prod contrib.
