Configure.php file - serious issue

[charmed-imsure]

I've a serious issue with my includes/configure.php file.

My site was moved to a new server so that my Contact-Us part would work (which it now does yey!).

 

I tweaked my 2 configure files so that they point to the right server location because half of my Admin was kind of missing. I re-uploaded the new configure.php file to admin/includes/configure.php but when I came to upload to includes/configure.php, I have a serious problem. I can't overwrite, I can't delete it. I tried to rename it & then upload the new file which worked, however, the new file isn't being read. I've changed permissions etc (which immediately revert back to 700 no matter what I do). My host has reset my FTP permissions also & it still hasn't worked. I get the following error on my FTP program when I try to delete the file:

 

226-Options: -a -l

226 24 matches total

DELE configure.php

550 Could not delete configure.php: Is a directory

 

I can't overwrite it because it says it then says it's an 'invalid argument'. I doubt this is a permission setting issue, I'm flumoxed as to what it could be.

 

I can't operate my site at all now, the website shows fine but I've got no admin section at all. I tried completely reinstalling the OSCommerce software but the only file that wouldn't upload is (da da daaaaa) includes/configure.php

 

Any suggestions?

[activeweb]

Give top level directory write permission for a while, delete or etc. ur file and then set default permissions to that directory

[charmed-imsure]

That didn't work, still the same problem.

 

I've just read another forum that suggests that includes/configure.php is not a file that you can change because it's not 'owned' by you which is why you can't change permissions. I don't know what to do, I've lost my admin completely so I can't operate without it.

The error that comes up (I use IPswitch) when I try to overwrite is:

 

Can't open that file: Invalid argument

 

If I go to my admin page this is the error that comes up:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in E:\domains\j\just-keyrings.co.uk\user\htdocs\admin\includes\configure.php on line 22

 

That line 22 is the following:

define('DIR_FS_DOWNLOAD', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'download/');

 

Aggghhhh!!!

 

Any other suggestions?

Try using the filemanager / permissions control from your ISP's admin panel. not the shop admin panel.

 

Sometimes filezilla/cuteftp just will not change permissions.

I have no difficulty changing permissions on any other file. My ISP reset all my permissions for me too but I still can't change this particular file. I can't delete it either. I can rename it but it make no difference because when I upload the file that needs to be there, it doesn't seem to be being read.

 

I'm not trying to do anything via my shop admin panel - reason being is because I have no admin panel - this is what the problem is, I can not get into my admin, I get the error as mentioned before.

 

Have a look: www.just-keyrings.co.uk/admin

 

That's all I see now & it's because (I believe) this configure.php file can't be changed, at the moment it's looking at the wrong server, I can't change it.

[♥geoffreywalton]

Do you have a configure file in /admin/includes/local?

No I don't! Should there be one there? I have 1 readme file and that's all.

I've successfully uploaded this into admin/includes but just can not overwrite or delete that darn includes/ one... that config file is currently the original file that comes with OScommerce so it's pointing to everything incorrectly.

This is also what my .htaccess file says - is this all correct? this one is in includes/

 

# $Id: .htaccess 1739 2007-12-20 00:52:16Z hpdl $

#

# This is used with Apache WebServers

# The following blocks direct HTTP requests in this directory recursively

#

# For this to work, you must include the parameter 'Limit' to the AllowOverride configuration

#

# Example:

#

#<Directory "/usr/local/apache/htdocs">

# AllowOverride Limit

#

# 'All' with also work. (This configuration is in your apache/conf/httpd.conf file)

#

# This does not affect PHP include/require functions

#

# Example: http://server/catalog/includes/application_top.php will not work

 

<Files *.php>

Order Deny,Allow

Deny from all

</Files>

Just to quickly point out:

My ISP has also attempted to delete this configure.php from their server end & they also encounter the same problem...

I've partially resolved this now. I have my admin back. I just took the original admin/includes/configure.php from oscommerce, changed the script so it points to the right server & re-uploaded it to that location, my admin came back, however, I've still got terrible errors in that I have no file manager & can not do back ups. I think this is the bit where the other configure file comes into play???

Lets stick to one problem at a time.

 

Is this configure.php above currently up on your site in E:\domains\j\just-keyrings.co.uk\user\htdocs\admin\includes\configure.php?

 

Because that is the one with the error.

This is also what my .htaccess file says - is this all correct? this one is in includes/

I do not think that htaccess works on windows servers.

[♥geoffreywalton]

I just tried this in google

 

htaccess windows

 

2 million odd hits

 

The first one contains this...

 

It is quite simple to use .htaccess on Windows. Simple instructions with screenshots here.

That refers to apache (which is the same as using XAMP or WAMP), what about IIS?

This what my admin/includes configure file looks like now & I now have my admin back but I have loads of errors in it. Reason being is because the other configure.php file still points to the old server which was nas32ent, it should now be pointing to IIS6119 but I can't do anything with that file & there lies my problem...

 

Here's the new updated admin/includes/configure.php though & this gave me my admin section back (stars in place of my personal info)

Window/apache/htaccess work.

 

IIS and htaccess do not work together.

 

For IIS and access control you could try this link

Only mentioned it because the OP had

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '\\IIS6119\domains\j\just-keyrings.co.uk\user\htdocs\');

in the configure.php file

and asked about htaccess.

 

I don't think the absolute paths are specified correctly, but will leave that for you to sort out.

[charmed-imsure]

Right - I have my admin back but I have lost a lot of files & I no longer have file manager or images etc. They are all plagued with errors. My payment, shipping & all sorts of modules have disappeared. I know exactly the problem but I can't find a fix. The problem is with this:

 

<?php

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.just-keyrings.co.uk');

define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'http://www.just-keyrings.co.uk');

define('ENABLE_SSL', false);

define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'www.just-keyrings.co.uk');

define('HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'www.just-keyrings.co.uk');

define('HTTP_COOKIE_PATH', '/');

define('HTTPS_COOKIE_PATH', '/');

define('DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG', '/');

define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/');

define('DIR_WS_IMAGES', 'images/');

define('DIR_WS_ICONS', DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'icons/');

define('DIR_WS_INCLUDES', 'includes/');

define('DIR_WS_BOXES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'boxes/');

define('DIR_WS_FUNCTIONS', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'functions/');

define('DIR_WS_CLASSES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'classes/');

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

define('DIR_WS_LANGUAGES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'languages/');

 

define('DIR_WS_DOWNLOAD_PUBLIC', 'pub/');

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '//nas32ent/domains/j/just-keyrings.co.uk/user/htdocs/');

define('DIR_FS_DOWNLOAD', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'download/');

define('DIR_FS_DOWNLOAD_PUBLIC', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'pub/');

 

define('DB_SERVER', '**********);

define('DB_SERVER_USERNAME', '*********');

define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', '************');

define('DB_DATABASE', '************');

define('USE_PCONNECT', 'false');

define('STORE_SESSIONS', 'mysql');

?>

 

 

That nas32ent needs to be IIS6119. The rest point to the right server, the IPaddress of the server is correct, it's just that line that's causing all the problems.

 

Now, I can change it, I can do what I like to it but I can't overwrite the file currently in htdocs/includes (where it needs to be). I can't change permissions, I can't do a thing. I can't delete it. I can rename & upload a correct file, but everything still tried to look at this original file. I completely messed up while this file is incorrect. My ISP can not change or delete it either, they get the same errors.

Sometimes filezilla/cuteftp just will not change permissions.

 

Have you done this yourself?

 

Or did you rely on your ISP?

The ISP had to get an engineer to reset my FTP permissions so I have full control & I should be able to set them now myself. This one file can not be changed at all & I'm stuck. I use IPswitch Pro as my FTP program & never had a problem.

 

When you initially install OSCommerce, you have to tell it your server name, user & password etc... this is saved into the htdocs/includes/configure.php file. This is the one I can't change. It's currently looking at the old server but I need it to point to the new one. My problem is, I can't do anything with this file, can't delete it, overwite it or anything. I renamed it to b*ll*cks.php, uploaded the correct configure.php & everything is still being guided by the old b*ll*cks.php. So even renaming it made no difference.

[♥geoffreywalton]

Try putting your config files in

 

admin/includes/local

 

and

 

/includes/local

[charmed-imsure]

Try putting your config files in

and

Done - no difference at all, still the same :-(
