dlyxzen Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Hey guys, After installing oscommerce i get lots of wierd symbols and jiberish in the admin area which i have never seen before. I uploaded in from a mac machine using firefox or safari, not sure whether this has something to do with it as the jiberish seems to point to something like this has anybody seen this before? this displays on every page of the admin area any help would be great :) check the picture below to see what i mean Picture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Zonjee Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 has anybody seen this before? this displays on every page of the admin area Never seen that before but it looks like the file you uploaded was uploaded in a binary mode instead of text mode. Didn't you use an FTP program to upload those files? Looks like the resource fork of the file is visible (typical Mac thing for a file). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like the resource fork of the file is visible (typical Mac thing for a file). no unfortunately, the clients host is very unorganised and isnt really a proper host as such, hence i have no access to cpanel, phpmyadmin or FTP. I have to connect via vpn which is a pain in the arse, so maybe this is the problem? If i re-uploaded these files via FTP do you think the problem would go away !?

I'm almost certain of that. If it is a VPN connection you have, may you can open the transferred file on the system with Notepad (probably a Windows I suppose) and resave it locally? That might get rid of the Mac-specific resource fork on the file... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
