Recovered OSCommerce Files - Issue

[Fizzlee]

Hi Guys

 

I'm looking for some help as i'm scratching my head over a few things. recently we've got a new client who's web-designer had pulled the site offline, he'd given them all the files from the root and the sql database, after checking out the code i could see it was a site running on OSCommerce.

 

is there anyway i can just re-upload the files and change the configuration to get it to point at the new database? so far i've changed the configuration.php to point to the new hostings database and changed it to the correct user/password etc but i'm getting various errors.

 

http://techforcerepairs.com/matt-test1/Website/ is what i'm recieving.

 

If anyone can shed some light or point me in the right direction how i could go about recovering this site it would be much appreciated :)

 

Thanks!

The shop have some add-ons as-well as some code which is not compatible with newer php versions... basically you will need to update the code and/or the shop version.

HI, welcome to the osC club.

 

You have several problems:

 

1) PHP function sessions

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent by (output started at /home/afisher/public_html/matt-test1/Website/includes/secret.php:18) in /home/afisher/public_html/matt-test1/Website/includes/functions/sessions.php on line 102

 

2) osC commerce version is old, so this causes PHP error as eregi functions are deprecated

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at /home/afisher/public_html/matt-test1/Website/includes/secret.php:18) in /home/afisher/public_html/matt-test1/Website/includes/functions/sessions.php on line 102

 

3) Files are missing

Warning: file(banned/IP_Trapped.txt) [function.file]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/afisher/public_html/matt-test1/Website/includes/secret.php on line 18

 

and so on and on.

 

I would upgrade to lates osC 2.3.3

Thanks for the speedy reply guys!

 

With installing a fresh osC would i be able to migrate everything they had on the original site from the files and database i have (design/content/etc)?

 

Thanks again!

You could incorporate the template and integrate the database but as Nick pointed out, if there are any contributions installed they would also need to installed to make the site work as it previously was. Also, if you are not completely familiar with osCommerce, you will have a VERY steep learning curve to contend with.
