VideoDude Posted April 2, 2003 Share Posted April 2, 2003 Being new to osC I'm not really familiar with how the admin screens are supposed to appear... but I get the sneaking suspicion that something's not quite right here. Please take a peek at the following screen shot of "Administration->Catalog->Categories/Products". http://www.discountlearning.com/temp/osc.jpg Is it really supposed to read, "HEADING_TITLE" at the top, or should I actually see something else there like, "Categories/Products"? This is snapshot 20030331, freshly installed from scratch just today... brand new database, brand new installation directory, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 2, 2003 Share Posted April 2, 2003 the definitions are located in admin/includes/english.php and the files inside the english folder - it looks like it is picking up some of the defines but not all of them :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VideoDude Posted April 2, 2003 Author Share Posted April 2, 2003 Thanks Jeff. I checked "/admin/includes" and found NO file named "english.php". The only directories that contain a file named "english.php" are... adminincludeslanguages; and, catalogincludeslanguages Are you sure there should be a file "/admin/includes/english.php" ??

Guest Posted April 2, 2003 Share Posted April 2, 2003 my mistake admin/includes/languages/english.php admin/includes/languages/english/ my brain and fingers are out of synch again... :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VideoDude Posted April 2, 2003 Author Share Posted April 2, 2003 Ok, I'm convinced that these definitions aren't getting loaded as they should. Are you familiar with the coding of osC? At what point are these definitions supposed to get loaded, and how can I go about debugging?? Again, thanks for your input! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 2, 2003 Share Posted April 2, 2003 they should be getting loaded by default as a function of selecting your language in the admin-localization-languages panel what is strange is that some of the defines are working and others arent... :?

VideoDude Posted April 2, 2003 Author Share Posted April 2, 2003 Ok, so when I did my install I chose to create the following directory structure.... /catalog /catalog/admin Is this OK, or does the /admin directory need to be directly off of the web root?

Guest Posted April 2, 2003 Share Posted April 2, 2003 no, thats fine one recommendation tho ------ since that is the default installation, i would recommend that you change catalog to some other name and change admin to some other name so not every OSC user can do to your site and tunnel into your folders - password protecting the admin folder is also useful.....

VideoDude Posted April 2, 2003 Author Share Posted April 2, 2003 Ok, I see your point. I did actually give the /admin directory another name (just didn't share it on this forum for everyone to see). :wink: This is a strange dilemma. Do you have any clue which .php file calls the english.php file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 2, 2003 Share Posted April 2, 2003 Videodude, The missing defines appear to be from the admin/includes/languages/english/categories.php file Is that file in the directory? Could it have gotten corrupted? Do you have a back up of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VideoDude Posted April 2, 2003 Author Share Posted April 2, 2003 Both of you ROCK! Thanks for taking time. I just checked the file. Byte count = 4670. I viewed the file and have no reason to believe that it's corrupted. Somehow I think this issue is tied into a previous problem that I reported... http://www.oscommerce.com/forums/viewtopic.php...9038&highlight= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 2, 2003 Share Posted April 2, 2003 you've got Linda on this too - you are surrounded! :lol: I would agree with the basics of what Linda said, and it does sound possible that one of two things are occuring: 1) a file is corrupt 2) you missed something in the install of one of the two mods you added, or missed a syntax entry or something along those lines she seemed to have you going in the right direction but as you point out, when one thing was 'fixed', another problem would show up, and that usually indicates missing a line of code somewhere.. this does all sound related did you reset your zone and related info?

VideoDude Posted April 2, 2003 Author Share Posted April 2, 2003 Well now that brings me to ANOTHER issue that I'm having (that I didn't really want to address here for sake of simplicity). Since it MIGHT be related let me show you what I'm getting when I access 'Administration-Configuration-My Store" Warning: call_user_func() expects first argument, 'tep_cfg_get_zone_name', to be a valid callback in /var/apache/htdocs/catalog/adm1n/includes/functions/general.php on line 1247 Check out this screen-shot... http://www.discountlearning.com/temp/osc2.jpg Notice how every field configuration value that need to be populated IS populated EXCEPT the "zone" field. I've tried editing the zone and choosing "Pennsylvania", but it apparently doesn't save the value I enter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VideoDude Posted April 2, 2003 Author Share Posted April 2, 2003 Oh! And just so you'll know... this issue was occurring prior to the installation of any mods. I've now installed osC from scratch about 3 times (snapshot 20030325, 20030329, and 20030331). Each install resulted in the same set of problems.

Guest Posted April 2, 2003 Share Posted April 2, 2003 go into phpmyadmin and look at the db open the configuration table and find STORE_ZONE and check the fields: configuration_id int(11) ? configuration_title varchar(64) ? configuration_key varchar(64) ? configuration_value varchar(255) ? configuration_description varchar(255) ? configuration_group_id int(11) ? sort_order int(5) last_modified datetime date_added datetime ? use_function varchar(255) set_function varchar(255) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 2, 2003 Share Posted April 2, 2003 In the other thread, You mentioned something about your database being in a different place or something ...What exactly is strange/different about this database? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VideoDude Posted April 2, 2003 Author Share Posted April 2, 2003 Well I think that what I meant by "strange" is that on this server I have several databases... all of which can be viewed by phpMyAdmin EXCEPT the database that I set up for osC. I have been able to successfully access the database directly via /bin/mysql "USE DATABASE xxx" (where 'xxx' is the name of my database). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VideoDude Posted April 2, 2003 Author Share Posted April 2, 2003 Jeff, Here's what I see of the 'configuration' table... +---------------------------+--------------+------+-----+---------------------+----------------+ | Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra | +---------------------------+--------------+------+-----+---------------------+----------------+ | configuration_id | int(11) | | PRI | NULL | auto_increment | | configuration_title | varchar(64) | | | | | | configuration_key | varchar(64) | | | | | | configuration_value | varchar(255) | | | | | | configuration_description | varchar(255) | | | | | | configuration_group_id | int(11) | | | 0 | | | sort_order | int(5) | YES | | NULL | | | last_modified | datetime | YES | | NULL | | | date_added | datetime | | | 0000-00-00 00:00:00 | | | use_function | varchar(255) | YES | | NULL | | | set_function | varchar(255) | YES | | NULL | | +---------------------------+--------------+------+-----+---------------------+----------------+ Is this what you meant, or did you want me to check the entries for a specific record in the table?

Guest Posted April 2, 2003 Share Posted April 2, 2003 Joe, This dB sounds very weird.....Have you tried uninstalling it and reinstalling just the dB ? What about the permissions on the dB? Are they set up right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 2, 2003 Share Posted April 2, 2003 click on configuration in the db then click the browse tab then find the STORE_ZONE field and match against what I posted altho I tend to agree with Bird - you may want to drop all tables and reinstall the db...... :shock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VideoDude Posted April 2, 2003 Author Share Posted April 2, 2003 What I do when I set this up is to get into the mysql command console, then I issue a "CREATE DATABASE xxx;" (where xxx is the name of the database). Then I go back and choose, "http://www.yyy.com/catalog/install/" and allow the script to create the tables within the database I just created. That's OK, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 2, 2003 Share Posted April 2, 2003 yes, that is fine - that will create the db shell and then the install script will import the tables, so it is possible the the oscommerce.sql file is corrupt and causing a problem in the db you are creating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 2, 2003 Share Posted April 2, 2003 Before you run the install script...try accessing the new dB with phpmyadmin first, ok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
