honunet Posted March 28, 2004 Share Posted March 28, 2004 I just installed it on my server on I get this weird box on the left "Resource". I have no idea where it came from, and it only is when the english language is picked. Is it because I use a shared server? http://www.honu.net/catalog/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
user99999999 Posted March 28, 2004 Share Posted March 28, 2004 LOL We have some really smart webhosting companies out there. And even a smarter group over here.

Find out the path to your document root and change the last dir to tmp So if it looks lik this /home/virtual/myserver.com/var/www/html/ Make it this /home/virtual/myserver.com/var/www/tmp/ You may need to make the directory or ask your hosting where it is.

Guest Posted March 28, 2004 Share Posted March 28, 2004 For user99999999, I went through a lot of the configure.php files that previous people have posted and every one I came accross had /home/virtual/myserver.com/var/www/html/ for the document root. If this is the case and answer then why don't more people have the same problem? Thanks, Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 28, 2004 Share Posted March 28, 2004 For user99999999, (again) I had the same problem but in reverse, I had someone elses products in my store. I solved it by turning off cache. How are the two related/different and what is the document directory anyways? Thanks, Peter Just trying to learn something new. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
user99999999 Posted March 28, 2004 Share Posted March 28, 2004 Hi, The tmp dir is not listed in configure.php, its in the sessions/cache settings in admin. The default in osC MS2 is /tmp/. Depending on your host config it could give you root:/tmp/ --> Access Denied root:/home/virtual/myserver.com/var/www/tmp/ --> Access Allowed But in your case its root:/tmp/ --> Access Allowed For Anyone --> Walk on my files and share my session data? Even though you fixed your categories the session data is still in a shared tmp dir. So you need to correct it and then you can turn the cache back on. You can check you document root path in Admin->Tools->Server Info and then derive your correct tmp path from there. You might need to create one and set the permissions If you have two catalogs on you site maybe catalog and catalogdev then you need to privatize the tmp dir more /tmp/ and /tmp/catalogdev/. You should also be able to manage your private tmp dir via FTP and I bet you cant do that to root:/tmp with FTP. HTH :) Dave... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 28, 2004 Share Posted March 28, 2004 Thanks for getting back on this Dave, The tmp dir is not listed in configure.php, its in the sessions/cache settings in admin. The default in osC MS2 is /tmp/. Depending on your host config it could give you Admin -> Cache Control -> Cache Directory: /tmp/ That part looks right? You can check you document root path in Admin->Tools->Server Info and then derive your correct tmp path from there. You might need to create one and set the permissions In the Server Info the things I noticed are; Environment DOCUMENT_ROOT /home/xxxxxx/public_html Sessions -> Local Value session.cookie_path -> /admin/ session.cookie_secure -> Off I assume that all these 3 variables are wrong. If they are, how do I change them? I have C Panel, ftp, etc. You should also be able to manage your private tmp dir via FTP and I bet you cant do that to root:/tmp with FTP. I can FTP to the root directory. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
user99999999 Posted March 29, 2004 Share Posted March 29, 2004 Admin -> Cache Control -> Cache Directory: /tmp/That part looks right? Its WRONG for your host... Should be something like this /home/xxxxxx/tmp EnvironmentDOCUMENT_ROOT /home/xxxxxx/public_html Sessions -> Local Value session.cookie_path -> /admin/ session.cookie_secure -> Off These are fine. You should be able to FTP to this dir /home/xxxxxx/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 Hi user99999999, I really appreciate your help here. I fixed the cache file via Admin -> Cache Control -> Cache Directory: /home/xxxxxxx/tmp/ . I turned cache back on via Admin -> Configuration -> Cache and the other guys catagories have disappeared which is the good news, the problem is, so have mine (with cache off the catagories show up). The catagories box is there along with "View all Products". The rest has vanished into cyberspace. Any ideas would be appreciated. I have spent the day going through the forum but have not found anything. Peter Why is there no crying smiley? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
