After uploading the osCommerce files to my host and following the online instructions to setup, I got the following feedback:

 

New Installation

 

osCommerce Configuration

 

Warning: fopen(/www/www/SupportUs/catalog/includes/configure.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/wsgeneti/www/www/SupportUs/catalog/install/templates/pages/install_7.php on line 209

The configuration was successful!

 

That last line kills me !!

 

OK, what did I do wrong?

your path doesnt look right, home/wsgeneti/www/www/SupportUs do you have two www/www in your document root? doesnt seem to properly point to your domain.

"...your path doesnt look right, home/wsgeneti/www/www/SupportUs do you have two www/www in your document root? doesnt seem to properly point to your domain."

 

Actually, I do have 2 www's. It's bizzare to me too. This doesn't appear in the URL though. www.wsgenetics.org will take you to /www/www/index.html

 

osCommerce is copied to /www/www/SupportUs/

 

I don't know how the "/home/wsgeneti" got in there, but the rest is correct.

 

And Why did the UI tell me that everything was successful when actually everything failed?

are the files located in supportus, ie supportus/catalog or are they in a different location?

Posted

All the files are in SupportUs.

 

I just got a reply from tech support at my host - I have the database address wrong.

 

I wrote:

"I am trying to setup ecommerce capability with osCommerce - Thanks for recommending I check it out.

 

Anyhow, I seem to be having some path troubles. I need to enter the following:

"Hostame or IP-address of the database server

The database server can be in the form of a hostname, such as db1.myserver.com, or as an IP-address, such as 192.168.0.1"

 

Is the database server at the same IP adress as the Web server?

 

 

Support Resplied:

" A: Feb 18 11:41 Support37:

Hello,

 

Please use the following

 

database server: localhost

 

You can create MySQL user/password from your Control Panel -> MySQL section. Then you can use these at your osCommerce setup.

 

Should you have more questions. contact us back here!

 

Best Regards,

Support "

 

So I'm trying that, but the online installer asks:

" The file to import must be located and named at:

/home/wsgeneti/www/www/SupportUs/catalog/install/oscommerce.sql "

 

So does that mean that the path to these files on my PC needs to be:

/home/wsgeneti/www/www/SupportUs ?? And that the .sql file will be imported from there?

you need to ftp the catalog folder from your local system to the server, the sql files will be in the proper spot

OK. Once I got the database address correct, then it failed due to improper permissions on the configure.php files. Once those were changed and I ran it again, it worked and I got to the Administration Tool page.

 

Thanks,

 

Dale
