Cannot install modules.

[Guest]

In my payment folder there are many modules.php's in there. But, in the admin to install them doesn't work. There is none to choose from. It tells me:

 

Module Directory: /home/element/public_html/shopincludes/modules/payment/

 

that is where they are, I need them installed. Help?

[Guest]

you must have something wrong in your configure.php as your directory is pointing to .../public_html/shopincludes and it should be going to .../public_html/shop/includes

[Guest]

..aand.. how do I fix that? My control panel automaticly installed it for me.

[Guest]

If you have FTP access or WebShell access to your account, you might try downloading the configure.php from the /catalog/includes/ directory, opening it up in an editor program like Dreamweaver or Wordpad and searching for public_html/shopincludes

 

When you find that just replace it with public_html/shop/includes

 

Then save your file and upload configure.php back up into the catalog/includes/ directory that you found it in.

 

Hopefully that helps.

There is nothing in the config file that says shopincluds:

I don't know if this is the exact problem or not but you haven't defined your file system path on this line:

 

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '');

 

Looking at my own configure.php, I think this could be causing problems?

 

Mine looks like:

 

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/homepages/46/d89334920/htdocs/logicalcreation.net/catalog/');

 

You might want to try defining this to see if it solves the problem? Without that it could simply be commenting out a / that is needed and possibly even a character after that since / comments out things like ' " and / in php code practice.

Nope, didn't work. But all I tried to put in was shop/.. *sigh* anything else I could try?

[Guest]

you might want to try your whole docroot path... since you are using PHP I'll just put up a little bit of code so you can find that information. Just copy and paste into a php file, upload to directory you want complete FS path for and voila.

 

<?php print $DOCUMENT_ROOT ?>

 

That seems remarkably simple and almost stupid but I change hosting companies alot and it has proven itself invaluable because sometimes they don't respond quickly or it is 3 am and nobody is there to help.

[Guest]

I don't think i understand. Yeah, not big on php. :unsure:

[Guest]

you can go to the admin section, tools, then click on server info, search for document_root and you will also see the correct path to put in there

[Guest]

Ok, I did that and I put it in there but it doesn't solve my shopincludes problem.

[Guest]

Just open up Notepad or the like and put that line in there and save the file as docrootfinder.php or the such. :)

[Guest]

This line is not correct as it has an extra "/" before it:

define('DIR_WS_MODULES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . '/modules/');

 

Although that error should give you a path of shop/includes//modules I would change it regardless to:

 

define('DIR_WS_MODULES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'modules/');

[Guest]

oh that was me trying to figure out the shopincludes problem. will fix, thanks.

[Guest]

While you can still edit your post with your file you might want to remove the bottom section that is showing your passwords to the world so we all don't come along and hack your server later on after a few beers. :)

 

This part:

// define our database connection
define('DB_SERVER', 'xxxxxx');
define('DB_SERVER_USERNAME', 'xxxxxxx');
define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', 'xxxxxxxxxx');
define('DB_DATABASE', 'xxxxxx');

[Guest]

Oh, and it says

 

Module Directory: /home/element/public_html/shopincludes/modules/payment/

 

for shipping and ordertotal modules also.

[Guest]

Gah, how do I delete that post?! lol

[Guest]

Once you get the "oops" taken care of can you repost what your shop/includes/configure.php file looks like now (don't make any more changes for a few minutes), also post your admin/includes/configure.php file. Just make sure to delete the database section out of both files when you post them.

[Guest]

I can't edit my post.

I think "Johnson" is on the forums at the moment so shoot him an e-mail and maybe he can edit your post for you. Just click:
