NothingButRomance Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Ok, here's the deal.... I had owned as my main domain .... www.NothingButRomance.com (a romance novel and used books site) as a sub-domain under that hosting account, I had www.LilleyPadGifts.com (a gifts and collectibles site) We are working on a new "set up" of a street of stores all located at the new domain www.LilleyPadCove.com are you with me so far? :blush: Ok... last night I had them move all to the new domain LPCove and today my domain NBR expired, which was no problem because I want ALL of my stores accessible thru LilleyPadCove.com (www.lilleypadcove.com/nothingbutromance ..... www.lilleypadcove.com/lilleypadgifts.... www.lilleypadcove.com/thecomicrack...) Those three stores have been worked on and edited, NBR & LPG being done and adding stock to, TCR still a work in progress. TODAY however, I wake up and they have lost their formatting... their look. NBR is a osCommerce store while the other two are Zen, but what do I need to do to get the formatting back OR was something done on the part of the hosting site and the people the moved the files around that needs to be undone? I saved everything before the change, but they haven't given me the FTP sign-in info so I can't get in there to make ANY changes at all. I expected to have some broken image links and had planned the weekend to edit those, but should themes and the basic look of my stores still be showing correctly? Here is a clickable link to NBR http://www.lilleypadcove.com/nothingbutromance HELP! :huh: I have called and set up a ticket with my hosting site, and they are "working on it", but thought I might need more help then they can give if someone here has ran into this issue before. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
germ Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 It will stay "broke" until you can get in and edit your osC configure files. They still point to the old site: <base href="http://www.nothingbutromance.com/"> If I suggest you edit any file(s) make a backup first - I'm not perfect and neither are you.

I was just sick when I work up to find all of my hard work was non-existant <_< I'll just wait for my FTPing info and play a game on Pogo to rest my nerves :rolleyes: Thanks again!

NothingButRomance Posted January 16, 2009 Author Share Posted January 16, 2009 Aren't I supposed to receive my sign in info FROM my hosting service? For FTPing and signing into my ControlPanel? They have been so helpful up to this point and not I can't get anyone to help me. AM I supposed to be looking elsewhere for this info or is it up to them to give it to me?

NothingButRomance Posted January 17, 2009 Author Share Posted January 17, 2009 Well, today I have a new issue. I can't seem to get in to add product or pretty much anything else in Admin. I get to admin just fine, but when I click on catalog I get the following : The webpage cannot be found HTTP 404 Most likely causes: There might be a typing error in the address. If you clicked on a link, it may be out of date. What you can try: Retype the address. Go back to the previous page. Go to and look for the information you want. More information This error (HTTP 404 Not Found) means that this program was able to connect to the website, but the page you wanted was not found. It's possible that the webpage is temporarily unavailable. Alternatively, the website might have changed or removed the webpage. Everything seems to be pointing to the right place. What am I missing?

germ Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 That would mean this probably set right in your /admin/includes/configure.php define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', ''); The HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER in my admin configure file: define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://www.mysite.com'); Points to the same place as HTTP_SERVER in the catalog configure file: define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.mysite.com'); // eg, http://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers If I suggest you edit any file(s) make a backup first - I'm not perfect and neither are you.

NothingButRomance Posted January 17, 2009 Author Share Posted January 17, 2009 Well, my stores are now falling under the main domain (my shopping village) www.lilleypadcove.com so for this store I have www.lilleypadcove.com/nothingbutromance so I need to add the /catalog or something along those lines?

germ Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 In your admin configure file use this: define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://www.lilleypadcove.com/nothingbutromance'); If I suggest you edit any file(s) make a backup first - I'm not perfect and neither are you.

Because that's what I have there already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
germ Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 So when you click on the Catalog link in the admin, what is the URL it goes to? :unsure: If I suggest you edit any file(s) make a backup first - I'm not perfect and neither are you.

NothingButRomance Posted January 17, 2009 Author Share Posted January 17, 2009 I think I know what the problem is after looking at one of the files from one of my other stores. I'll make some changes and if they work I'll post what I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NothingButRomance Posted January 17, 2009 Author Share Posted January 17, 2009 No, I have no clue what I'm doing. I thought the links were just wrong and once I edited them it would work, but its still not working. Should I post any part of my config files here in code boxes? I was so happy I could add more books to the site today, fill it up this weekend and move on to my next stores on Monday <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NothingButRomance Posted January 17, 2009 Author Share Posted January 17, 2009 I've been able to correct it enough to get into Admin/Catalog but along the top of the page it says : Error: Catalog images directory does not exist: /nothingbutromance/images/ I'm not sure what or where to correct this because the file images IS under the dir NothingButRomance, obviously it needs more added to the path (I'm guessing actually) but I don't know where to or what file to add it to. But hey! I'm able to get into catalog now .. its a start :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
