where do I copy the /admin folder?

[jsn]

Hi all.

 

I am trying to install a store running :

 

http://www.yourserver.com/catalog/install/install.php

 

version oscommerce-2.2ms2.

 

I copied the folders under Document Root (public_html)

/catalog

/admin

 

The folder /admin was under /catalog I moved it to the root .

 

But when I try to install oscommerce:

http://www.yourserver.com/catalog/install/install.php. It does not ask for the /admin location folder, so it shows an error message because it does not find the file /admin/includes/configure.php

 

Where should I copy the folder /admin, in the root or leave it inside /catalog.

 

I changed the permissions:

 

/admin/includes chmod 755

/catalog/includes chmod 755

/admin/includes/configure.php chmod 777

/catalog/includes/configure.php chmod 777

/catalog/images chmod 777

 

thanks

Do your install first, then you can move the admin and configure your includes configure.php file to reflect the location of the admin folder or vice versa.

Hi

 

what do I need to modify in the configure.php when I move the /admin folder to the root directory ?

 

thanks

change admin/includes/configure.php to reflect the new paths

 

define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/catalog/admin/');

 

changes to

 

define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/admin/');

 

define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', '/xxx/xxx/public_html/catalog/admin/');

 

changes to

 

define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', '/xxx/xxx/public_html/admin/');

 

where /xxx/xxx/public_html is the absolute path for your domain this could be

 

/home/mysite/public/admin/

 

if you are unsure of the path then look in catalog/includes/configure.php this will show the path relative to catalog and will be the same root path fro admin, you can copy this path and change the part that says catalog to admin
