Error on define($configuration['cfgKey'], $configuration['cfgValue'])

dallasbird · April 7, 2015

I recently installed kissER error handler on my 2.3.4 oscommerce site, which has been up for four years and I have made the updates from earlier versions. I am getting this error on many different items - Can anyone help - I cant' find any other threads on this subject - Thanks in advance:

Error: Constant MODULE_BOXES_XMAS_SORT_ORDER already defined

File: includes/application_top.php

Line: 74

Line 74 in includes/application_top.php reads:

define($configuration['cfgKey'], $configuration['cfgValue']);

MrPhil · April 7, 2015

Use grep (on Linux) or findstr (on Windows) to search for the string MODULE_BOXES_XMAS_SORT_ORDER in all your .php files. It shouldn't show up too many times. Find out where it is defined and figure out how it came to be defined twice. Did you have a failed installation, and installed a second time without properly removing all traces of the first install? If so, a file restore from backup, to where you were before you tried installing the add-on, might be the easiest fix.

dallasbird · April 7, 2015

It has been over a year since I moved to another server. My backups have been modified many times since then and since I just installed the error log, I don't know when this started. I use a mac so would I need to access grep on my terminal? I have connected to my server on the terminal, but i would not know the command? I have been trying to update as many files as possible to 2.3.4 with out breaking my add ons, header_tags SEO, Seo urls, xsell, wishlist, - not that many contributions.

Any recommendations? and Thanks

define($configuration['cfgKey'], $configuration['cfgValue']);

creates "constant" keys and values from the database.

It is likely therefore, that the key MODULE_BOXES_XMAS_SORT_ORDER exists two times in the database.

Make a backup copy of your Database, and search it for this key.

Hello Vanquisher of Demons!!! you were completely right. I had doubles in my database. I think I ran a couple of queries a couple of times, so now I have deleted and errors are gone, but there is still this, I am wondering if this is similar and something I can fix in the database.

What version of PHP is your store using?

dallasbird · April 8, 2015

php version 4.0.10.7

MrPhil · April 8, 2015

Impossible. You can't run osC 2.3 on PHP 4.0. osC 2.3.4 is going to require something like PHP 5.3 or so as a minimum. Either you have misread your PHP level, or you have an incredibly mangled system. Run the following script:

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

to see what PHP version you really have.

dallasbird · April 8, 2015

oops you are correct it is running native 5.4 - there is an option to change it from 5.3 - 5.5

dallasbird · April 8, 2015

I have further looked into this problem and what is happening is my site opens to mysite/oscommerce instead of mysite/oscommerce/index.php and this is where the errors are because when I open mysite/oscommerce/index.php the seo.php errors are not present. incl/filenames does site the default filename to be index.php so it goes there when you hit catalog. But I think this is something to do with my .htaccess specs for seo url stating my site opens with the index.php. Any one know about this? I am also asking Jack.

MrPhil · April 9, 2015

It sounds like you might have a server misconfiguration, or garbage in your /.htaccess. In .htaccess, do you see a line for "DirectoryIndex"? Does it omit index.php? It should give the entire list of "index" files to look for if only the directory name is given. Usually it's something like

DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.php

If that's not the case, maybe there's a bad or damaged URL rewrite in your .htaccess.

dallasbird · April 9, 2015

Hello Phil,

Yes I tried your suggestion. Jack had same conclusion: Jack had me remove the contribution to the root .htaccess file and add / to Rewrite/oscommerce so it reads Rewrite/oscommerce/ in sub-directory index.

Then he had me add DirectoryIndex index.php to the top of my root .htaccess - but I see he said shop .htaccess file, so I removed from public_html root and added to subdirectory .htaccess and sight seems faster, but still doesn't open to index.php

here are files as they are now:

Phil - I would appreciate any help I can get. Ultimately my sight has been slowing down as soon as you start scrolling through categories, so I am trying to clear up all errors and reduce queries, but first I need to get this taken care of. I did get the 34< off my site, the grep really worked!!

I added all the deny's awhile ago because I was trying to reduce rogue traffic that could have been slowing down my site, but obviously it is more than that, and I must have problems with my code somewhere. Thank you for your time and help.

Jenny

MrPhil · April 9, 2015

OK, so you have osC installed under /oscommerce/. Correct? That's good -- you want to put a major application in its own directory tree so it doesn't collide with anything else on your site, now or due to future additions (a blog, forum, gallery, etc.).

The first step in /.htaccess (root) is to direct visitors to the root, over to the store (until such time as you build a landing page in the root with links to the store and to other applications on your site). You want to decide at this point whether to let visitors see "/oscommerce" in the path. I would have named it "/shop" or something like that, which hides your technology used and would allow a store change in the future, but that may be water under the bridge at this point (especially if search engines have indexed your site, and customers have bookmarked it). Let's say you do want to expose "/oscommerce" to visitors (a reasonable thing to do) and your configure.php is set up to generate links showing "/oscommerce" anyway. Note that you only want to rewrite the URI if the incoming link does NOT already include /oscommerce (possibly that is part of your problem!):

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^couplescorner\.biz$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.couplescorner\.biz$
RewriteRule ^/?$ "http\:\/\/couplescorner\.biz\/oscommerce" [R=301,L]

should be

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}   ^(www\.)?couplescorner\.biz$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}   !^/oscommerce
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://couplescorner.biz/oscommerce/$1 [R=301,L]

See if that helps with the index.php problem, too. The R=301 tells search engines to index only /oscommerce, and not the / they may have actually come in on. Visitors will also see /oscommerce in the URI. There are ways to hide all this stuff, so visitors and search engines only see /. Note that if you ever add other applications on your site, that having /oscommerce will mean that indexes and bookmarks are still good.

Next, I must say I'm confused by your references to "Rewrite/oscommerce/". What exactly do you mean? Unless you actually have a directory named "Rewrite", you should not have such a string anywhere in your .htaccess files.

The DirectoryIndex command, if you need to add it, should be in the root (/.htaccess). Remember that the root /.htaccess will be completely processed, and then /oscommerce/.htaccess (if your visitor goes to that directory) will be processed, overriding anything set in the root /.htaccess. I see you have just

DirectoryIndex index.php

Note that it will not look for index.html or index.htm, should you have those files, but only for index.php (should the visitor only give the directory). That may be adequate for osC, but you should understand what you are doing with that command.

If you are putting the visitor into /oscommerce/ via .htaccess, I'm not sure you want to set RewriteBase to /oscommerce. Try setting it back to /, or even commenting out (#) that command, if it's still not working.

Finally, note that an increasing number of hosts no longer permit the Options commands. Are you getting any errors (probably 500 Internal Server Error) logged?

dallasbird · April 9, 2015

Hello again Phil,

I am trying out :

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?couplescorner\.biz$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/oscommerce
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://couplescorner.biz/oscommerce/$1 [R=301,L]

DirectoryIndex index.php

in root

still not opening to index.php

I started this site several years ago, and I wish I hadn't put oscommerce there, but I do have a lot of links out their pointing to my store that I don't want to break. I think it looks amateurish but is there a way of hiding it without breaking all the links?

here is my incl/configure.php:

<?php

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://xxxx.biz');

define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://xxxx.biz');

define('ENABLE_SSL', false);

define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'xxxx.biz');

define('HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'xxxx.biz');

define('HTTP_COOKIE_PATH', '/oscommerce/');

define('HTTPS_COOKIE_PATH', '/oscommerce/');

define('DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG', '/oscommerce/');

define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/oscommerce/');

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', 'pub/');

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/home/xxxxxxxxxxxx/public_html/oscommerce/');

define('DIR_FS_DOWNLOAD', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'download/');

define('DIR_FS_DOWNLOAD_PUBLIC', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'pub/');

define('DB_SERVER', 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx');

define('DB_SERVER_USERNAME', 'xxxxxxx');

define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', 'XXXXXX');

define('DB_DATABASE', 'XXXXXX');

define('USE_PCONNECT', 'false');

define('STORE_SESSIONS', 'mysql');

// Width and height of the main product_info.php image

define ( 'KISSIT_MAIN_PRODUCT_IMAGE_WIDTH', 300 );

define ( 'KISSIT_MAIN_PRODUCT_IMAGE_HEIGHT', 200 );

define('DIR_WS_CACHE', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'cache/');

The Rewrite oscommerce/ is for SEO URLs as part of their instructions. It is what is causing the errors I am trying to get rid of.

- I only have a index.php - I do not have any other index files

and what do you mean about?

"Finally, note that an increasing number of hosts no longer permit the Options commands. Are you getting any errors (probably 500 Internal Server Error) logged?"

I haven't gotten any 500 internal service error lately, I get tep stop - on the page and these errors:

Warning: mysql_fetch_array() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in /home/xxxxxx/public_html/oscommerce/includes/classes/seo.class.php on line 114

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/xxxxxxx/public_html/oscommerce/includes/classes/seo.class.php:114) in /home/xxxxxxx/public_html/oscommerce/includes/classes/seo.class.php on line 2890

To be honest I don't know how my oscommerce/.htaccess file should look - this was existing, or I did it in another time, but I am sure I don't know what I am doing. This file is pretty confusing to me.

MrPhil · April 10, 2015

OK, so "Rewrite/oscommerce" was just a typo on your part -- it's just referring to the .htaccess changes you added?

The DirectoryIndex command you have shouldn't hurt osCommerce, which uses index.php, but if you add any index.html or index.htm pages elsewhere, don't forget to update it.

Those 3 errors -- are they new, or have you just not mentioned them before? The second two errors (cannot modify header information) are a consequence of the first. Can you show lines 100 through 115 of seo.class.php? We might need more lines before to diagnose the problem.

If you have a lot of links out there (as well as good Google position and lots of customer bookmarks), you might as well leave the structure of your site the same, and not try to make it look "better". That would risk breaking a lot of things.

In addition to the Rewrite to /oscommerce/ that I suggested, did you also try changing RewriteBase /oscommerce/ to RewriteBase /?

dallasbird · April 10, 2015

Hello Phil,

yesterday I started to remove 'credit class vochers and coupons' because it was getting an error and I didn't use it anyway and I must have done somehting stupid because now I can't get into my admin - i get this error:

Too many redirects occurred trying to open “http://couplescorner.biz/oscommerce/404.shtml”.This might occur if you open a page that is redirected to open another page which then is redirected to open the original page.

l

or could this be a .htaccess error? I am going to go through the files and figure out what I did wrong.

I'll get back to you asap - I just heard I had a terrible tragedy in my family, so please don't think I have given up on any of this, I just might be distracted a bit - working on there errors will probably be a real relief.

MrPhil · April 10, 2015

It's most likely a bad .htaccess file. Why don't you list both of them here (trim down the deny and agent lists to save space).

dallasbird · April 10, 2015

Thanks Phil,

here is my root .htaccess - could it be that I have DirectoryIndex in both files?(highlighted in blue)

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?couplescorner\.biz$

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/oscommerce

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://couplescorner.biz/oscommerce/$1[R=301,L]

DirectoryIndex index.php

and here is my oscommerce/.htaccess:
