OSC fails on upgraded machine - please help

[kdb]

Hi..

 

I have had my development OSC installed on my XP for a year or so and my production one on a *nix server and I could do most testing ok.

 

However, my XP machine has fallen in a heap and so I now have a Win 7 x64 box that I have been setting up. I found that I had to install different versions of PHP (5.3) and MySQL to work with the Win7 IIS. I also had to re-create my database from an export from my production site.

 

I have Ultimate SEO URLs 2.1 installed and as I know they don't work under Windows I turned them off in Admin. However, although the site works in production, my new beaut development site won't work and comes up with the following error Class 'SEO_URL' not found in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\includes\functions\html_output.php on line 23

 

I definitely have seo.class.php in my /includes directory and I also have SEO URLs turned off in the database. This worked on my XP machine with PHP 5.2 so is there an incompatibility here?

 

Is there a tweak I should make elsewhere?

 

Should I take the plunge and install Apache?

 

Should I install something else?

 

I really want my development and production sites to match and for both to work.

 

I would also like to minimise the time devoted to maintaining the site so that I can actually get on and create more products with which to populate them?

 

Any advice anyone?

 

Tks - all help appreciated

Run apache rather than IIS

 

In the short term Chemos Seo Urls version 2 changes includes/functions/html_output.php function tep_href_link()

 

Replace what you have in there now with the standard osCommerce code as posted below: -

 

////
// The HTML href link wrapper function
function tep_href_link($page = '', $parameters = '', $connection = 'NONSSL', $add_session_id = true, $search_engine_safe = true) {
global $request_type, $session_started, $SID;

$page = tep_output_string($page);

if (!tep_not_null($page)) {
	die('</td></tr></table></td></tr></table><br><br><font color="#ff0000"><b>Error!</b></font><br><br><b>Unable to determine the page link!<br><br>');
}

if ($connection == 'NONSSL') {
	$link = HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG;
} elseif ($connection == 'SSL') {
	if (ENABLE_SSL == true) {
	$link = HTTPS_SERVER . DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG;
	} else {
	$link = HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG;
	}
} else {
	die('</td></tr></table></td></tr></table><br><br><font color="#ff0000"><b>Error!</b></font><br><br><b>Unable to determine connection method on a link!<br><br>Known methods: NONSSL SSL</b><br><br>');
}

if (tep_not_null($parameters)) {
	$link .= $page . '?' . tep_output_string($parameters);
	$separator = '&';
} else {
	$link .= $page;
	$separator = '?';
}

while ( (substr($link, -1) == '&') || (substr($link, -1) == '?') ) $link = substr($link, 0, -1);

// Add the session ID when moving from different HTTP and HTTPS servers, or when SID is defined
if ( ($add_session_id == true) && ($session_started == true) && (SESSION_FORCE_COOKIE_USE == 'False') ) {
	if (tep_not_null($SID)) {
	$_sid = $SID;
	} elseif ( ( ($request_type == 'NONSSL') && ($connection == 'SSL') && (ENABLE_SSL == true) ) || ( ($request_type == 'SSL') && ($connection == 'NONSSL') ) ) {
	if (HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN != HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN) {
	$_sid = tep_session_name() . '=' . tep_session_id();
	}
	}
}

if ( (SEARCH_ENGINE_FRIENDLY_URLS == 'true') && ($search_engine_safe == true) ) {
	while (strstr($link, '&&')) $link = str_replace('&&', '&', $link);

	$link = str_replace('?', '/', $link);
	$link = str_replace('&', '/', $link);
	$link = str_replace('=', '/', $link);

	$separator = '?';
}

if (isset($_sid)) {
	$link .= $separator . tep_output_string($_sid);
}

return $link;
}

 

Obviously you'll need the seo url code back once you sort all this out.

Thanks for the prompt response - I'll try this out when I have finished something else that someone else has decided that I should do first
