Can't get Admin Console Working

[Guest]

Desperately need help here.

 

I've been on this problem for 3 days now and tried reinstalling everything very carefully and keeping getting stuck here. Can't even start using the admin console to customise the page.

 

Installed everything as per instructions but get the following error the moment i open Admin.

 

Warning: main(includes/languages/english/): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/mariedawn/htdocs/catalog/admin/includes/application_top.php on line 133

 

Warning: main(): Failed opening 'includes/languages/english/' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/mariedawn/htdocs/catalog/admin/includes/application_top.php on line 133

 

Can anyone out there please enlighten me how to solve this so that I can at least start using OsCommerce ? Thanks Really appreciate it.!

Make sure you have a directory called catalog/admin/includes/languages/english in your htdocs directory. For some reason osCommerce can't find it - it should be there. If it's there, try changing the permissions on it. CHMOD 777 is pretty foolproof - you may want to restrict it later.

sorry still didnt work after i chmod 777 on the includes/languages/english/ folders in both admin and catalog...

 

here is my config file, can you help me check if I have put in the config values correctly please? thanks.

[Guest]

you have:

define('DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT', '/home/mariedawn/htdocs/catalog/'); // where the pages are located on the server

define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/catalog/admin/'); // absolute path required

 

get rid of the /catalog/ in document root . . . as your wsadmin will use document root

[Guest]

Thanks mate. Was brilliant but unfortunately, still haven't been able to solve the problem yet... any other ideas on what to amend on the config file?

Thanks
