404 error after clicking on admin links

hello,

 

this is my first post - i've been scavenging solutions for the last day - having a heck of a time getting oscommerce up - from what people say, it is worth it...i hope so. i am a newbie and am learning as i'm going...

 

anway, i followed steve's advice for someone who was getting 404 errors after clicking on admin links - i had the same problem

 

he suggested to look in the admin/includes folder, and gave the example:

 

('DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT', '/homepages/36/d93231069/htdocs/catalog'); // where your pages are located on the server. if $DOCUMENT_ROOT doesnt suit you, replace with your local path. (eg, /usr/local/apache/htdocs)

define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/catalog/admin/');

define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', '/homepages/36/d93231069/htdocs/catalog/admin');

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

 

when i made these changes, i kept getting parse errors and other WS_ADMIN errors.

 

my code looked like this with the extra text in red as something that did not appear in the sample code given:

 

define('DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT', '/home/public_html/catalog/admin'); // where your pages are located on the server. if $DOCUMENT_ROOT doesnt suit you, replace with your local path. (eg, /usr/local/apache/htdocs)

define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/catalog/admin/');

define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT . DIR_WS_ADMIN);

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

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT . DIR_WS_CATALOG);

 

i just took a chance and deleted the text in red, added the FS_ADMIN path -

 

'/home/public_html/catalog/admin');

 

and then my admin links worked perfectly. why did that happen, or was that even a solution - will it screw with something else later on???

 

thanks for your help,

eva
