osCommerce

The e-commerce.

Totally new -- and a little lost.

I just did the install as per "INSTALL" file. When I try to do:

 

http://thebestcandles.com/catalog/includes...ication_top.php

 

I get:

 

Warning: Failed opening 'includes/include_once.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/php/includes:/usr/share/php') in /home/virtual/site40/fst/var/www/html/catalog/includes/application_top.php on line 163

 

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: tep_db_connect() in /home/virtual/site40/fst/var/www/html/catalog/includes/application_top.php on line 166

 

So, I tried changing the "0" to a "1" in the top_... file... that didn't help, running MySQL 3.23.54 running on localhost...

 

Also when I try:

 

http://www.domain.com/catalog/

 

I get:

 

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /catalog/ on this server.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Apache/1.3.27 Server at www.domain.com Port 80

 

I've got perms set to 755...

 

I'm sorry if I'm asking totally newbie questions... I've done a few searches and come up empty. Any help (or pointing to the answers) would be much appreciated.

 

Thank you kindly,

 

Pete

Ok... Still tinkering... made more of the needed changes to the top_... only, still nothing.

 

FYI:

 

http://www.thebestcandles.com/catalog/default.php

 

gets me:

 

Unable to connect to database server!

 

Now, I've got the db all up... via phpMyAdmin 2.2.0 it shows all the field, i.e.

Is there any chance that there is a more "detailed" install readme around or anything... ?

 

Thanks again,

LOL, this must be some kind of joke, specifically:

 

The install script is included in the oscommerce package and is located in the /catalog/install directory. Simply open your web browser, and point it to http://yourserver.com/catalog/install/index.php and the installer will begin.

 

Really?? I just re-downloaded the entire package. Could somebody, anybody, show me where the install dir is? Maybe this is for an older version? I dunno...

 

Me thinks something funny around here.

Did you download v2.1 or v2.2?

 

I would recommend v2.2 if you got v2.1

 

The help guide is based on that version btw.
