got it installed but how do i configure it?

[ajshades]

ok FINALLY got it installed correctly but how do i configure the store?

 

i already delected the install folder before i clicked on the admin tool link

(was that a mistake?)

 

when i go the catalog/includes/configure.php

a blank screen comes up

 

help? lol

[Guest]

go to catalog/admin

 

you should be ok from there ;o)

[ajshades]

negative

 

if permisions for the admin folder are set as 777 i gt the following

 

Warning: main(includes/application_top.php): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/adamjm53/public_html/catalog/admin/index.php on line 13

 

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'includes/application_top.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/adamjm53/public_html/catalog/admin/index.php on line 13

 

if the permisssions are set lower than that 706 i get a forbidden acess page

 

i set permissions on the index.php to 777 and i still get the permission denied in the 1st statement above ^

 

what now?

I'm no expert so I can't help anymor ethan I already have. be patient, and help will come.

 

 

try the search function too, it really does work!

[ajshades]

thanks and the comment about the search button was unnecessary, i am very aware about how to use a forums. and yes i did search and nothing came up for what has happened to me.

 

anyone else got any ideas?

Have a look at your index.php file and remove any blank lines at the end, I had this one a few times and it threw me too!

[ajshades]

I have this same problem. What was the trick?

I am having minor difficulties. It comes up but I get the error:

 

 

"Warning: The sessions directory does not exist: /tmp. Sessions will not work until this directory is created."

 

Am I supposed to create this directory somewhere? I have tried it in several locations and I still get the error. Also, someone mentioned the configure.php file but did not say what line to edit, if any. I tried changing the

 

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

 

because that's the only line in the file that deals with sessions. I tried creating the tmp dir in the mysql directory after changing the line to:

 

define('STORE_SESSIONS', 'mysql');

 

No luck. Am I even near the right tracK?

 

http://wiki.oscommerce.com/docs did not help. The directions were not explicit enough.

 

Thanks.

Never mind. I got it. I created the tmp dir in the root of my C: drive and the error in gone.

 

Thanks anyway. I'm sure you'll be hearing from me again.
