New install of 2.2x refreshes continually

[themadman]

I downloaded both the CVS and the Milestone version and both of them just refresh the page no matter where I tell it to go. /install or / or whatever. Here's the url http://www.pursepective.com right now that is the milestone version.

 

I was running a prior version, 2.2 not sure what changed to be called milestone, cuz i didn't have these issues before. Maybe it needs a newer version of PHP or something on the server. dunno, just know that I want to check it out and I'm stuck like chuck.

 

please help

deleted the default .htaccess out of the root and includes. still get refreshes or redirects on the root web.

allowed me to do either new install, or upgrade. I did upgrade, input all info and it upgraded the db just fine. Same issue remains.

Well, I'd say you definately have some kind of major problem. I got the following error:

 

Redirection limit for this URL exceeded. Unable to load requested page.

 

My first suggestion would be to double check your installation.

I can;t even get the page... do other php scripts run?

[themadman]

I still have the old version of osc 2.2 which does run, and other php scripts all run fine. got 3 diff webs on same server.

I added the ... 's in there for security reasons... but somewhere it's adding an additional / from what i can tell, i looked at configure.php and didnt see any thing wrong... compared it to the other too looked ok to me.

I renamed it to index.php and it came up. Joy. I had to do this for the last one too... so long ago I forgot about it. I had to actually keep a copy of it updated to index.php as well as keeping default.php. Because osc looks for default.php in the code all over the place, correct me if I'm wrong, and cuz server boy wont add default.php in the heirarchy of default docs.... so have to keep two of em updated so ev thing works. Anyone else have to do this as well? or is there something i should know? just curious.

 

Thanks guys for the quick responses... that'll keep this thing rollin out onto new sites steadily and successfully with support like you have here.

[Guest]

You don't need to keep a seperate default.php. In application_top.php change

 

define('FILENAME_DEFAULT', 'default.php');

 

to:

 

define('FILENAME_DEFAULT', 'index.php');

 

and in catalog/includes/languages/english find the default.php and rename it index.php.

 

Problem all fixed!

[mattice]

You can probably use a .htaccess file in your doc root to force it to parse default.php as an index file too.. .something along the likes of

DirectoryIndex index.php default.php index.html index.htm

 

should do it.
