Installation Problems - Paths

[KevinAce]

I'm receiving the following on any file I try to access to install (including .com/catalog/install/):

Warning: main(includes/functions/general.php) [function.main]: failed to create stream: No such file or directory in /home/amss/public_html/catalog/install/includes/application.php on line 28



Fatal error: main() [function.main]: Failed opening required 'includes/functions/general.php' (include_path='/usr/local/lib/php:/usr/lib/php') in /home/amss/public_html/catalog/install/includes/application.php on line 28

 

Which leads me to believe this is path-related. I'm using Cpanel so my path to the site is /home/amss/public_html/ (resolves to acemusicsuperstore.com). Here's my config file from /catalog/includes/configure.php:

<?php

// Define the webserver and path parameters

 define('DIR_WS_CLASSES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'classes/');

 define('DIR_WS_DOWNLOAD_PUBLIC', DIR_WS_CATALOG . 'pub/');

 define('DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT', $DOCUMENT_ROOT);

//  define('DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT', '/home/amss/public_html/');

 define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT . DIR_WS_CATALOG);

//  define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/home/amss/public_html/catalog/');

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

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



// define our database connection

 define('DB_SERVER', 'localhost'); // eg, localhost - should not be NULL for productive servers

 define('DB_SERVER_USERNAME', '####');

 define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', '####');

 define('DB_DATABASE', '####');

 define('USE_PCONNECT', 'false'); // use persistent connections?

 define('STORE_SESSIONS', ''); // leave empty '' for default handler or set to 'mysql'

?>

I've tried the absolute paths, virtual paths, $DOCUMENT_ROOT, no $DOCUMENT_ROOT and I'm flat out of ideas. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

 

Feel free to message me...

I did not install , but you can check the links below for some info

[darkseid]

Ask the admin to modify in php.ini the value of include_path to:

 

.:/usr/local/lib/php or .:/usr/local/lib/php:/usr/lib/php

then restart apache

I went home and triedt he next day...and it worked perfectly. I'll just assume it was a problem with the host.

[KevinAce]

Same problem is back again out of nowhere! It worked yesturday, I came in and went to the admin folder and it was dead with the same errors as before...

 

I'm really clueless as to why this is happening. I contacted my host but they "do not support third party software".

Ask the admin to modify in php.ini the value of include_path to:

 

.:/usr/local/lib/php or .:/usr/local/lib/php:/usr/lib/php

then restart apache

This is correct. If your host won't change this, add the following line before the require('includes/application_top.php'); line in every .php file in your main catalog directory:

ini_set('include_path', '.:/usr/local/lib/php:/usr/lib/php');

 

You could also do this by adding the following to a .htaccess file:

php_value include_path .:/usr/local/lib/php:/usr/lib/php

 

Good luck,

Matt

Hi

 

I have just installed osCommerce. It is great. Everything seems fine except the following error. Could anyone tell me how to fix it?

 

When I tried to open

http://tt167//osCommerce/admin/configuration.php?gID=1

 

Warning: Failed opening 'd:/php/ken///catalog/includes/data/rates.php' for inclusion (include_path='.;d:phpken') in d:phpkenoscommerceadminincludesinclude_once.php on line 4

 

D:php/ken is my root. So the path should be

d:/php/ken/osCommerce/catalog/includes/data/rates.php'

 

 

Thanks

Could you post your includes/configure.php file without the database bits?

 

Thanks,

Matt

I have made it work now. Thanks anyway.

 

I have created a configure.php file. I just modified application_top.php

Looks like all I needed to do was specify a "Languages=en" variable in the URL. It worked some of the time because the session was cookied...but then when the cookie expired, things started messing up.
