So many problems, so little time...

[spitlikethis]

Hi! I'm new to all this so a big thanks in advance to anyone that helps me out here.

 

From what I have read, I appear to have a couple of common problems yet cannot find the solution after a day of trawling the forums etc.

 

In Catalog/Products I am getting the following pink banner warning:

 

Error: Catalog images directory does not exist: /html/catalog/images/

 

now, I can see the catalog and I have tried chmod-ing to the 3 or 4 different suggestions, none seem to work. Here is my configure.php:

 

  define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.smellyourmum.com'); // eg, http://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers

  define('HTTPS_SERVER', ''); // eg, https://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers

  define('ENABLE_SSL', false); // secure webserver for checkout procedure?

  define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'www.smellyourmum.com');

  define('HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN', '');

  define('HTTP_COOKIE_PATH', '/catalog/');

  define('HTTPS_COOKIE_PATH', '');

  define('DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG', '/catalog/');

  define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '');

  define('DIR_WS_IMAGES', 'images/');

  define('DIR_WS_ICONS', DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'icons/');

  define('DIR_WS_INCLUDES', 'includes/');

  define('DIR_WS_BOXES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'boxes/');

  define('DIR_WS_FUNCTIONS', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'functions/');

  define('DIR_WS_CLASSES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'classes/');

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

  define('DIR_WS_LANGUAGES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'languages/');

 

  define('DIR_WS_DOWNLOAD_PUBLIC', 'pub/');

  define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', 'd:/www.smellyourmum.com/html/catalog/');

  define('DIR_FS_DOWNLOAD', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'download/');

  define('DIR_FS_DOWNLOAD_PUBLIC', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'pub/');

 

// define our database connection

  define('DB_SERVER', '192.168.0.29'); // eg, localhost - should not be empty for productive servers

  define('DB_SERVER_USERNAME', '****');

  define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', '****');

  define('DB_DATABASE', 'www_smellyourmum_com');

  define('USE_PCONNECT', 'false'); // use persistent connections?

  define('STORE_SESSIONS', ''); // leave empty '' for default handler or set to 'mysql'

?>

 

Can anyone see anything obvious?

 

My next problem is to do with modules. If I click on the Modules link, it will list them "Module Directory: /html/catalog/includes/modules/payment/" (it does this for all 3 modules) but shows nothing else. If I click the "install" graphic, nothing happens apart from a page refresh. No choices are shown. I've checked the folders etc and they are definitely there!

 

The last (and least important) problem is to do with trying to import a list of UK counties. The instructions state "Start phpMyAdmin / Select 'Zones' / Click on 'SQL' / Click on 'Browse...' and select 'ukcounties.sql' / Click on 'Go'" - where the hell is this?? In my admin section there is something called 'Zones' but there is nothing saying 'sql' etc. Where am I failing here??

 

I'm having no luck uploading images either, but I'm guessing that the solving of problem 1 will solve this.

 

If anyone can answer any / all of the above, I shall be forever in your debt! If anyone can just install this damn thing for me for not too much cash, get in touch as I've had enough!

 

Cheers

For me it was my directory path was not correct. This seems to vary from server to server. So you would need to look at a php.info and then ajust your path as necessary.

Also,

 

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', 'd:/www.smellyourmum.com/html/catalog/');

 

doesn't look right. Maybe try

 

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/html/catalog/');

 

Hope this helps/works

D:/ should reference the way it is layed out on the drive, so if your IIS web folder is html then you would have it as 'd:/html/catalog' for the path, unless you have a folder named www.sme.....

phpMyAdmin is seperate from osc admin and should have been provided to you by the host company

Thanks for your help - I'll give that lot a go and see how I get on, will also contact my host company.
