ChrisGreaves Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Does Download work right out-of-the-box? In my second day; I know just enough to be dangerous, so I thought to keep it simple. {a} I deleted and re-created the MySql database on my ISP server, deleted and re-created the folder on my web site, deleted the unzipped folder, and re-unzipped the oscommerce-2.2rc2a.zip. I decided not to shred my many pages of handwritten notes, but I was at about as clean a re-install as I could get. {b} I re-installed afresh. I decided to make minimal changes. By now I *know* there's a $0 d/l product. I am determined to make d/l work out-of-the-box. I set Enable Download=True, but left Redirect=False. I have a \download\ and a \pub\ folder with permissions set to 755 and 777 respectively. I checked the congig.php and yes, they have trailing backslashes. I read the Product Attributes on page 2; ProductId=26 "Unreal Tournament" is set as "Download Windows/English", price $0, filename unreal.zip, and I see it there in \download\ As a user I choose a product from manufacturer "GT Interactive", but am shown only three items, all non-zero price. As a user I choose "software" and see only four items, all non-zero price. At this stage I think I'm losing it. I've been trying to get a download button for free d/l for the past 24 hours or so. I'm wading through voluminous threads, and yet I can't seem to get the out-of-the-box demo to work. I'll be happy enough to figure out all the extra modules and patches, slowly, one at a time, but thought that I ought at least to be able to get the "raw product" to function before I start tinkering. (I've been tinkering with computers for 40 years, and have lost the hair to prove it.) Am I supposed to be able to install oscommerce-2.2rc2a.zip and download the product that has a $0 price? (I should add that I looked at three On-Line Store products Fri-Sat, and came back to OS-Commerce. It looks and feels terrific, but the minor logjams are quite daunting).

lindsayanng Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 It seems that SOME people can get it to work, and some cant. I was one of the ones who could NOT get them to work out of the box.. i added the super download contribution, but that messed up my split page links.. HOWEVER, i did get it fixed, and if you decide to download the super download store and have RC2a, let me know, i will send you the right product_attributes.php file.. that is the only thing that needed fixing A great place for newbies to start Road Map to oscommerce File Structure DO NOT PM ME FOR HELP.
