cma01 Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 Hi, I installed 2.2 MS2 yesterday and it seemed to install correctly. I did some changes to the stylesheet, added some information, everything was still working when I stopped last night. Today when I went to the new shop to do more changes, I go this error message: Warning: main(includes/languages/.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:websitesmysitewwwcatalogincludesapplication_top.php on line 285 Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'includes/languages/.php' (include_path='.;c:php4pear') in C:websitesmysitewwwcatalogincludesapplication_top.php on line 285 Here is the referenced line in application_top.php // include the language translations require(DIR_WS_LANGUAGES . $language . '.php'); Some backstory: I originally had a shop with an older version of oscommerce set up for me by a different host. They weren't very responsive when I had questions, so I switched to a different host. I did ask them ahead of time if they supported osCommerce, and they said "No Problem." Well, there were problems, but after messing around for a couple of weeks trying to figure out what was wrong, I decided just to wait for the new release and do a clean install. My old, semi-functional site is still up under a /shop folder and I can access it. The problem in a nutshell is my new install was working last night, today it's not. All I can think of is that the host must have changed some setting that caused the problem. Carla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 Warning: main(includes/languages/.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:websitesmysitewwwcatalogincludesapplication_top.php on line 285 Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'includes/languages/.php' (include_path='.;c:php4pear') in C:websitesmysitewwwcatalogincludesapplication_top.php on line 285 The $language is not being set properly by osC (if you try your request with ?lang=nl, or 〈=nl if there already another paramter passed, added in the URL bar it will work) The 4th line should read for example: Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'includes/languages/english.php' You could try to restore include/classes/language.php with the original from the distibution to make sure this hasn't file been altered.

cma01 Posted July 16, 2003 Author Share Posted July 16, 2003 Nope, that didn't work. I just deleted and reinstalled the new shop and I still get the same error. I emailed my host and was told to check to see if the referenced file is there, which it is. So, I'm still stuck. Carla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cma01 Posted July 16, 2003 Author Share Posted July 16, 2003 Should there be a definition for language.php in includes/filename.php? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 I emailed my host and was told to check to see if the referenced file is there, which it is. Which file are you referring to, your original post showed Failed opening required 'includes/languages/.php' Which is obviously wrong. I take it the error output is still the same? Should there be a definition for language.php in includes/filename.php? No, application_top includes it on line 23 if all is correct. Are you sure language.php is getting pulled in in application_top.php? Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 Did you try '/catalog/index.php?language=en'? If this does not work I'm pretty sure languages.php does not get imported properly. HTH, Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizzud Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 This probably seems like a really fundamental question, but have you checked your Language settings in Admin - Localization? I ask because I can reproduce exactly your error by editting, for example, 'English' (which is set as my Default language) and removing the Directory: setting.

cma01 Posted July 17, 2003 Author Share Posted July 17, 2003 Wizzud, I can't check the setting in Admin because I get an error message before I reach anything. I deleted the new install on my host, as well as on my computer. I unzipped the files again to my computer and FTP'd them to my host. Went through the configuration screens. The installation was successful. After all this, I still get the same error message that I included in the first post. It wouldn't load either the catalog or the admin page. (Keep in mind that it worked the first time I installed it). The host said that they have not made any changes at all to the server. So as of right now, I completely deleted the new install again, sent them the oscommerce .tar and a link to the install page, and they are going to install it for me. So we'll see if it works for them. Rob, I have no idea if the language file was being included in application_top. I made sure that the file was from the original download as well as completely reinstalling it. Carla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 ... sent them the oscommerce .tar and a link to the install page, and they are going to install it for me. So we'll see if it works for them. OK, Good luck with it. If they can't get it to work, maybe you can post an URL so someone can have a look. I have no idea if the language file was being included in application_top. I made sure that the file was from the original download as well as completely reinstalling it. In that case it should be ok, I thought maybe you had customised your osC.

jackrenn Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 hi, i have exactly the same problem; from the beginning. everything seemed to be installed correctly, but when i try to open catalog or admin i get those warnings and can t get any further. is there a solution already? would be very happy if anyone could give me some help! thanks jack (this is my first posting; i hope my english improves with the following postings :wink: ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heshys Posted July 30, 2003 Share Posted July 30, 2003 I have the same problem. I suspect it has something to do with my host because i installed successfully to another host. Here's something i noticed: on the bad server the install procedure created 26 tables, only 3 have data (configuration is blank). on the good one: 43 tables, and most of those have data. I then replaced the tables in the bad server and it worked! I suspect if u do a manual install it will work... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heshys Posted July 30, 2003 Share Posted July 30, 2003 I spoke too soon. When i refresh the page, i get a blank page that looks like it is still running- i look at the page properties and find the url is: url/catalog/index.php#url/catalog/index.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackrenn Posted July 30, 2003 Share Posted July 30, 2003 the problem is sort of a time out problem (i guess). i deleted everything (files on the server and database) and installed everything again and - suddenly everything worked perfect. i didn t do a single thing different. the only thing i noticed: the installation, which didn t work took very long, the installation that worked, not. and in the first case i had a lot of empty database tables, in the second one most were full. maybe a hint... jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heshys Posted July 30, 2003 Share Posted July 30, 2003 in configure.php (in the include directory in both catalog and admin) set the permanent connection to true. (don't ask me why ;) ) ie define('USE_PCONNECT', 'true') Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 why is there a referrence to C:\websites when the application is sitting on your hosting service. Where are you calling the file from your harddrive or from your hosting service. Can you see the database is it accessible to you. I am curious if this is a first time default install on your localhost being your internet provider ... why is there a C: in the error message?
