Path to modules?

[ivan8r]

I'm not sure my modules are installed correctly. Instead of having control over my modules, I only have a path to them.

 

Module Directory: usr/local/apache/htdocs/catalog/includes/modules/shipping/

 

Can anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong here?

Check your /includes/configure.php and make sure you specify the real path to your root and not $DOCUMENT_ROOT

[ivan8r]

Here's what I wrote in my admin/includes/config.php

 

define('DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT', '/usr/local/apache/htdocs/');

 

Is this wrong in any way? I'm pretty new to this, so it could be an ID10T error.

This is what I am using in that section:

  define('DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT', '/home/octave/public_html'); // 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_WS_ADMIN', '/osc_freecall/admin/');

 define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT . DIR_WS_ADMIN);

 define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/osc_freecall/');

 define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT . DIR_WS_CATALOG);

 define('DIR_WS_IMAGES', 'images/');

 define('DIR_WS_ICONS', DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'icons/');

 define('DIR_WS_CATALOG_IMAGES', DIR_WS_CATALOG . 'images/');

 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_CATALOG_LANGUAGES', DIR_WS_CATALOG . 'includes/languages/');

 define('DIR_FS_CATALOG_LANGUAGES', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'includes/languages/');

 define('DIR_FS_CATALOG_IMAGES', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'images/');

 define('DIR_FS_CATALOG_MODULES', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'includes/modules/');

 define('DIR_FS_BACKUP', DIR_FS_ADMIN . 'backups/');

 

It looks like you have a trailing / on the DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT, but you'd have to check the other peices to see if you need one or don't need one there.

[ivan8r]

I removed the trailing /, but I still get the same behavior. I'm going to contact my host to verify that this IS the correct root directory. If you have any more ideas for me, please post.

 

Thanks!

Ivan

[ivan8r]

Well, I just found out that I do have the correct root.

 

I'm wondering, what is the name of the file that is supposed to be running in this directory? Maybe I'm missing a file?

How about the top portion of the configure.php

 

  define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.8thoctave.com'); // eg, http://localhost or - https://localhost should not be NULL for productive servers

 define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://www.8thoctave.com');



 define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://secure.sashbox.net/~octave');

 define('ENABLE_SSL_CATALOG', 'true'); // secure webserver for catalog module

 

Do you have your www in there? The correct secure settings, etc.?

[ivan8r]

To make this easier, I'm putting my entire config file in here. I'm sure it's something I'm overlooking...

catalog is already in your URL and you have it here too:

 

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/usr/local/apache/htdocs/catalog')

 

Try taking that out of your DIR_FS_CATALOG and see if that helps.

[Ajeh]

oh wait ... never mind.

 

You have your DIR_WS_CATALOG written weird in addition to your _SERVER settings.

 

I always hate to break the flow of things like you have done in your configure.php file as it frankly confuses the heck out of me when things aren't all in their places with bright shiney faces ... :wink:
