dir_ws_http_catalog etc

[sputnikinternet]

I've looked and looked, and not figured out why the links on my site are pointing to odd places, seemingly becuase it's putting the variable name in instead of the value.

 

Ideas?

 

(php.in flie, perhaps).

 

Cheers

all wokrs well on my local (windows XP) machine, and goes to pot when i uplad to Red Hat system

 

to see the problem, have a look at

 

http://u-lingerie.co.uk/catalog/

 

and try and link from any of the product pics.

you have your configure.php file setup incorrectly, just highlight one of the images and see what the bottom link bar says. go into the admin section, turn on logging, set up the file properly that the log is pointing to, do a touch filename and make it writeable, also check the server log.

it is most likely your document root.

check both configure.php files

That's the weird thing, configure.php looks right, although hovering over an image does highlight the problem, that the defined variable "dir_ws_http_catalog" shows the variable name instead of "/catalog/"

 

the line in both configure.php files reads

define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/catalog/'); // absolute path required

 

(alhtough I did have this wrong in the admin one, but now that I've changed it, it hasn't fixed the problem)

 

Here are the log results from one viewing of index.php

Funnily enough, the admin system seems to be working fine with the same settings (I just copied the same configure.php to both locations)

 

I'm not sure what you mean by "touch filename" though.

 

Any clues in all that?

[Guest]

Are you using a configure.php file that is from a different version than the rest of the code? Note that you are showing DIR_WS_CATALOG from configure.php, but the code is looking for DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG.

 

Hth,

I take my hat off to that eagle eyed man.

Not sure how it all went wrong in the first place, but for the record of future victims of stupidity, my configure.php file (not the admin one, was setting the wrong variables.

 

My solution was to redownload oscommerce, take the catalog/includes/configure.php file, fill it in again, and upload it to server.

 

Cheers for the help guys.
