Oh Dear God Please Help Me!

[Guest]

OK, so setting up e-commerce for my site is causing me such a giant headache and I have had no luck as of yet.

 

When I found out that I had an OSC module within my CPanel I could have jumped for joy! Two links were given to me once the installation was complete:

 

1. The location of my shop

http://psychictherapy.co.nz/osc/

 

2. The location of my shop's admin

http://psychictherapy.co.nz/osc/admin/

 

The first link works, and takes me to a dummy store, but the second does not and just takes me to a 'page not found' error.

 

Please please please could somebody offer me any solutions?

 

Thank you

 

Victoria :(

LOL, love the title.

 

Check your admin / includes / configure.php file to ensure the Admin is called admin!

Or you can look at your file manager to see if a folder called admin is present, if so the error is elsewhere

I'm guessing the admin configure file needs some work. This link at least tries to connect to the database...with no luck.

Also take a look at http://psychictherapy.co.nz/catalog/

This is example of admin configure file

Thank you all for your replies. My admin/includes/configure file looks like this.

 

Can anybody tell if this is set up incorrectly?

First thing you need to do (now!!!) is change your user name and password. Next time, xxxx those out if you post your configure code.

Thanks for the advice, I am way too trusting I suppose!

 

But how does it look - are there any errors that you can spot that might be causing my problem? I just cannot figure it out and am on the verge of giving up altogether.

Hi psychictherapyp,

 

From fellow kiwi, try putting a slash after osc in the code below:

 

define('DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT', '/home/psychic/public_html/osc');

 

So it should then look like below

 

define('DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT', '/home/psychic/public_html/osc/');

 

And you need to change permission on the includes/configure.php

This is example of admin configure file

 

CATALOG/ADMIN/INCLUDES/CONFIGURE.PHP

 

define('DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG', '/servername/catalog/');

define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/servername/catalog/');

 

I'm pretty new to osC so not sure if it makes a difference but your are missing the above define entries in your file.

 

compare your file to the sample Sam posted above.

OK, so I tried both things and still nothing works.

 

Does anybody else have any ideas before I lose all my hair?!

Thanks so much Ivy - I have just sent you a message.

For those who are following this story, the problem wasn't the config files. It was the htaccess file in admin that was blocking the admin folder. I replaced that with the default htaccess file that comes with oscommerce and viola everything works now. Hopefully someone may benefit from this.

 

Cheers.
