gabster Posted February 18, 2004 Posted February 18, 2004 Hi all... the install instruction sais: "Do the same (copy the 'catalog' directory to the webroot path of your webserver) for the 'admin' directory but rename the directory to a unique and secret name. This directory does not have to reside inside the catalog directory, though may need to be manually configured." Problem is that I am getting this following error: 1046 - No Database Selected select configuration_key as cfgKey, configuration_value as cfgValue from configuration [TEP STOP] I renamed the 'admin' folder BEFORE the instalation. However, the catalog works... I had a successfull install before (on another machine/server) where I was able to access the Administrator tools (Configuration, etc.)... But... EVERYONE here know how to get to my administrator folder...Lol!!! Now I understand that the only 'protection' at this point is to rename my admin folder to something else secret only I know... But the question is... should I do this before or after the OSCommerce instalation? Oh yeah... I checked the script of the catalog / mysecretadminfolder / includes / configure.php I had to manually define the database connection parameters ok... still the same error... PLease help. thanks a lot, Gabi.
AlanR Posted February 18, 2004 Posted February 18, 2004 The simplest thing is to put the admin folder back inside the catalog folder then re-run the installation program (skip the db import part). Then you may rename/move the admin folder. You'll need to edit the admin/includes/configuration.php file to reflect your changes. Local: Mac OS X 10.5.8 - Apache 2.2/php 5.3.0/MySQL 5.4.10 • Web Servers: Linux Tools: BBEdit, Coda, Versions (Subversion), Sequel Pro (db management)
gabster Posted February 18, 2004 Author Posted February 18, 2004 Alan... thanks a lot ... it worked... I can access the configuration page ok that resides inside the 'catalog' folder... however, all my links from there seem to be broken because I am missing the 'catalog' folder from each url... do you know what parameter requires that in the 'catalog / mysecretadminfolder / includes / configure.php'? thanks, gabi.
gabster Posted February 18, 2004 Author Posted February 18, 2004 Alan... I found it... I had to add that in the define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/catalog/mysecretfolder/'); thanks, gabi.
