Trying a fresh install of the latest zip download from the osCommerce website.

 

I'm having some problems getting the paths to work... for example, when I first fo to install I get:

 

Warning: main(includes/functions/general.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/www/sbdj/site/catalog/install/includes/application.php on line 22

 

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'includes/functions/general.php' (include_path='/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/www/sbdj/site/catalog/install/includes/application.php on line 22

 

All the files exist - I can edit the application.php and the main_page.php files manually to point them to the correct paths and it works fine.

 

For example I have to change:

 

<?php require('templates/main_page/header.php'); ?>

 

to

 

<?php require('main_page/header.php'); ?>

 

for the install to even display. So I do all that, get through it all, and what do I find? Exactly the same thing with osCommerce itself!

 

Warning: main(includes/configure.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/www/sbdj/site/catalog/includes/application_top.php on line 29

 

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'includes/configure.php' (include_path='/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/www/sbdj/site/catalog/includes/application_top.php on line 29

 

Oh god. Here we go again!

 

require('includes/configure.php');

 

to

 

require('configure.php');

 

Warning: main(includes/filenames.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/www/sbdj/site/catalog/includes/application_top.php on line 53

 

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'includes/filenames.php' (include_path='/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/www/sbdj/site/catalog/includes/application_top.php on line 53

 

OK, let's edit configure.php...

 

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

 

to

 

define('DIR_WS_INCLUDES', '/www/sbdj/site/catalog/includes/');

 

and we seem to be good! Similar changes to the admin panel to fix that as well.

 

Should it be this much hassle, or am I missing something?

DOH!

 

That doesn't work either - I've just noticed the URL for the language icons is using the full include path.

 

It appears the problem lies with using the paths to the folders, but I don't know what to do about it!

 

I'm open to suggestions, even if they are "you're being thick, do this" :D

no the 2.2MS2 is the more stable.

 

You dont actually require the install part you can create a blank database using phpMyadmin and load the sql from the install directory to this database then modify the catalog/includes/configure.php and admin/includes/configure.php files manually to reflect the paths.

 

You can pm me your configure.php files if you want and I will help you to set up the configure.php files

I tried that way too LOL.

 

In my configure.php I have to specify an absolute path for the include folder, otherwise it doesn't work. But doing so breaks anything that hyperlinks into that folder - eg the language icons on the right.... :(

:( I am having the exact same issue as SBDJ. I get the following error in my php-error-log:

 

[01-Apr-2004 15:02:38] PHP Warning: main(templates/main_page/header.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /web/www.bigsite.com/htdocs/oscommerce/catalog/catalog/install/templates/main_page.php on line 34

 

 

I am just trying to run the install script. The file exists, but the relative pathing seems to be wrong when the files get included from another include file.

Me, too! I'm very new to this. I installed the software and it went fine. The catalog looked fine at first. Then I followed the directions to change the permissions to 644. I tried several times to change the permissions for the configure file (a security risk, it says) and when I click "catalog" I get this:

 

Warning: Installation directory exists at: /home/tjspet/www/www/catalog/install. Please remove this directory for security reasons.

 

Warning: I am able to write to the configuration file: /home/tjspet/www/www/catalog/includes/configure.php. This is a potential security risk - please set the right user permissions on this file.

Did this say plug and play? I'm pretty good with HTML, but I'm getting frustrated with this.

 

Maybe it doesn't matter. I already have a site that uses paypal. We're just about ready to go live. I just want OSCommerce to write customer information to the database. will this happen automatically or must I do something other than install the module? Hope one of you gurus can help!

Those are simple.

 

Set permissions on the configure file but wait till you read the rest of this post.

Delete or re-name the installation directory.

 

-----------------

 

The rest of your problems are almost certainly due to errors in your /includes/configure.php file. Errors you made in the install.

 

Post that file here minus your private db info.

Thanks. Actually I just managed to fix all the wacky warnings. I'm still getting the little one at the top of the page,

 

"Warning: I am able to write to the configuration file: /home/tjspet/www/www/catalog/includes/configure.php. This is a potential security risk - please set the right user permissions on this file."

 

I set the permissions to 644 as instructed, but I still get this message. Any ideas?

 

Also, is this set up now to get info from PayPal's IPN system? I installed the module, but do I have to do anything else? Jane
