drakonan Posted April 4, 2003 Share Posted April 4, 2003 Ok, I've got a basically finished site online... I was going to move it locally for testing purposes... so I installed phptriad.... Now it shows the default.php page just fine, but all of the links are double linking like my subject says localhost/catalog/localhost/catalog/whatever I don't understand... I changed my configure.php from the online site to localhost and thought it'd work... <?php /* osCommerce, Open Source E-Commerce Solutions http://www.oscommerce.com Copyright (c) 2002 osCommerce Released under the GNU General Public License */ // Define the webserver and path parameters // * DIR_FS_* = Filesystem directories (local/physical) // * DIR_WS_* = Webserver directories (virtual/URL) define('HTTP_SERVER', 'localhost/'); // eg, http://localhost - should not be NULL for productive servers define('HTTPS_SERVER', ''); // eg, https://localhost - should not be NULL for productive servers define('ENABLE_SSL', false); // secure webserver for checkout procedure? define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', 'catalog/'); // absolute path required define('DIR_WS_IMAGES', 'images/'); define('DIR_WS_ICONS', DIR_WS_IMAGES .

Guest Posted April 4, 2003 Share Posted April 4, 2003 Hi Brandon, Boy, I'm not the best person to answer install questions on localhost but, I'll give it a go anyway...... :D I would try this configuration and see what happens....... define('HTTP_SERVER', '/'); // eg, http://localhost - should not be NULL for productive servers define('HTTPS_SERVER', ''); // eg, https://localhost - should not be NULL for productive servers define('ENABLE_SSL', false); // secure webserver for checkout procedure? define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/'); // absolute path required Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drakonan Posted April 4, 2003 Author Share Posted April 4, 2003 Then it tries to go to: http://whatever.php But what's crazy, with the above config I posted, the images all link right and everything... It looks right on the first page... I tried changing /catalog/ to ../../catalog/ and then the links and images were right, but clicking caused an"internal error" whatever that means... - - - - Sometimes, ignorance is bliss.

drakonan Posted April 4, 2003 Author Share Posted April 4, 2003 Internal Server ErrorThe server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. Please contact the server administrator, admin@localhost and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error. More information about this error may be available in the server error log. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Apache/1.3.23 Server at localhost Port 80 That's the exact message it displays when I either make catalog/ ../../catalog so that the links work right and attempt to click a link... or if I leave it as is on top and manually type in a link other than to default.php It makes no sense... - - - - Sometimes, ignorance is bliss.

drakonan Posted April 4, 2003 Author Share Posted April 4, 2003 I did it, but the same thing is going on, but my admin somehow still "knows" that the real site is www.cookssaw.com... When I goto and newly clicked link will take it to the admin version on the website.... how does it still "know"? Maybe I don't know where all the config info is at. What other files do I need to modify besides configure.php? - - - - Sometimes, ignorance is bliss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 4, 2003 Share Posted April 4, 2003 change define('HTTP_SERVER', 'localhost/'); // eg, http://localhost - should not be NULL for productive servers to define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://localhost'); // eg, http://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers OR define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://yousitename.com'); // eg, http://localhost - should not be NULL for productive servers are you certain about the path here: define('DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT', '/apache/htdocs/'); did you try using $DOCUMENT_ROOT and it did not work? and change the username and password on your db since it is listed in your post :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drakonan Posted April 4, 2003 Author Share Posted April 4, 2003 I was waiting for you guys to spot that, it's not my REAL password and username :P Thanks man, I don't know why i got rid of that, so my links are fixed now... BUT, I'm stilling getting that funky error after I try to click a link on my default.php page... I can't manually go to it either...

Guest Posted April 4, 2003 Share Posted April 4, 2003 did you try changing this link define('DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT', '/apache/htdocs/'); to define('DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT', $DOCUMENT_ROOT); or verify the path you have set there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drakonan Posted April 5, 2003 Author Share Posted April 5, 2003 define('DIR_WS_DOWNLOAD_PUBLIC', DIR_WS_CATALOG .

Guest Posted April 5, 2003 Share Posted April 5, 2003 yes, that is what I meant, and if that isnt working either.... and you are using Windows, then I have hit a wall :oops: someone posted a really good step by step, blow by blow install guide for windows that is getting added to Wiki but i think its under tips & tricks...

drakonan Posted April 5, 2003 Author Share Posted April 5, 2003 If worse comes to worse, I'll just finish it on the net, it's just so slow with satellite.... (at the present moment average ping time to google is 907ms) I can live with it though... (in some ways its faster than dial-up, someways slower...) As example, when FTPing, it's much better to do a recursive list every time you list, it takes about as long as normal does... since download rate is so fast, but latency is so high... i got an old 233 that i can stick redhat on in the future... I might try that... you think that's my prob. then? I'm using windows? Anyway, i'll look under there then. Thanks again. - - - - Sometimes, ignorance is bliss.

Guest Posted April 5, 2003 Share Posted April 5, 2003 Get it right.... if your catalog is in a 'catalog' folder in document root running Apache on Windows, your configuration file should be as follows: define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://localhost'); // eg, http://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'http://localhost'); // eg, https://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers define('ENABLE_SSL', false); // secure webserver for checkout procedure? define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/catalog/'); // absolute path required define('DIR_WS_IMAGES', 'images/'); define('DIR_WS_ICONS', DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'icons/'); define('DIR_WS_INCLUDES', 'includes/'); define('DIR_WS_BOXES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'boxes/'); define('DIR_WS_FUNCTIONS', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'functions/'); define('DIR_WS_CLASSES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'classes/'); define('DIR_WS_MODULES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'modules/'); define('DIR_WS_LANGUAGES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'languages/'); define('DIR_WS_DOWNLOAD_PUBLIC', DIR_WS_CATALOG . 'pub/'); define('DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT', $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['DOCUMENT_ROOT']); // where your pages are located on the server. if $DOCUMENT_ROOT doesnt suit you, replace with your local path. (eg, /usr/local/apache/htdocs) define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT . DIR_WS_CATALOG); define('DIR_FS_DOWNLOAD', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'download/'); define('DIR_FS_DOWNLOAD_PUBLIC', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'pub/'); ... if they are not in a folder, also change: define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/catalog/'); // absolute path required to define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/'); // absolute path required .... if you try and use: define('HTTP_SERVER', 'localhost'); you will get errors.... even if you play with the other paths.

drakonan Posted April 5, 2003 Author Share Posted April 5, 2003 Yeah Johnson, you're right... That was my original problem... When I edited my configure.php I left out the http:// jchasick spotted the problem for me But if YOU'd have gotten it right :) , you'd see that i'm facing an internal error 500 now.... I've tried the document_root, as shown, and tried /apache/htdocs, as that is the location my public files are stored... to no avail. Be nice now, I AM a newbie. Not just to these forums, not just to PHP, and not even just to HTML. I think I'm doing a pretty good job learnin' this stuff considering that I'm a Win2k network administrator by profession, NOT web developer... I'm going to try and mess some more with it though... and if nothing else red hat install time... btw, if I figure out I'll post, maybe someone else will get something from my mistakes.... Besides, a mistake is only a mistake if you don't learn from it... Hasn't your mother ever told you that? LOL Thanks everyone, Brandon - - - - Sometimes, ignorance is bliss.

Guest Posted April 5, 2003 Share Posted April 5, 2003 Ummm... I was not being not 'nice'.... merely pointing out that there are some unusual suggested paths.... these paths are confusing... for instance, when you changed: define('HTTP_SERVER', 'localhost/'); // eg, http://localhost to: define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://localhost'); // eg, http://localhost did you also change: define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', 'catalog/'); // absolute path required to: define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/catalog/'); // absolute path required ? So..... I posted a standard Windows configuration... it will work. Make sure that you don't use a trailing slash on your main server path..... you can get that server error from a misconfigured osC installation.....

drakonan Posted April 5, 2003 Author Share Posted April 5, 2003 Hey, sorry about my little "bark" at ya... I read into "get it right" as meaning you're an idiot or something... I don't know... normally I don't "lose it"... Anyway, thanks for still trying to help me anyway... I eventually even took your code and stuck it in my configure.php and I'm STILL getting this 500 internal error... Is this a PHP error? WHAT exactly IS it saying, and what and WHERE is this log it talks about maybe having some extra info? The admin seems to work right, too... no internal errors so far, just browsing around... I don't understand... - - - - Sometimes, ignorance is bliss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 5, 2003 Share Posted April 5, 2003 I was going to suggest looking at your Apache error log. The 'error.log' should be in your apache/logs folder.... it could be your httpd.conf.... what is your document root in there? I use easyPHP and mine has: DocumentRoot "C:/Program Files/EasyPHP/www" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 5, 2003 Share Posted April 5, 2003 I'm STILL getting this 500 internal error... Is this a PHP error? WHAT exactly IS it saying Its just saying that for whatever reason, be it a scripting error or server misconfiguration, the server could not deliver the requested web page.

dlo001 Posted April 6, 2003 Share Posted April 6, 2003 In your web environment just add an htaccess file to your /catalog/ dir to override your global http.conf that your web host probably set you up with. In your .htaccess file include the line DirectoryIndex index.php default.php index.htm index.html index.asp default.html default.htm index.jsp index.cfm Thant should pretty much cover all your grounds I would say. Links to www.yoursite.com/catalog/ should display fine after that. Hope that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
