HELP: Can't determine language

[makalu]

Hello,

 

I've just recently tried to move a configured osCommerce site from a development server to an operational server, and now none of the pages will load on the operational server due to the following error:

 

Fatal error: Failed opening required 'includes/languages/.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in admin/includes/application_top.php on line 132

 

Somehow, osCommerce is unable to determine the language. Here are the steps I followed:

 

1. Setup a working osCommerce installation and configuration on my MacOS X system.

2. Using the admin interface, backed up the data

3. Moved the entire site to our operational Linux machine

4. Ran the osCommerce installer, allowing it to setup the default database

5. Imported my backup archive

 

(Step 5. isn't related to the problem, I don't think. I ran the installer again, without importing my data, and experienced the same errors.)

 

Any idea what I can do now?

 

Many thanks in advance.

Hi Matt,

 

Fatal error: Failed opening required 'includes/languages/.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in admin/includes/application_top.php on line 132

 

That looks VERY much like the web server default (PHP) include path to me, therefore you have not defined where your include path is ??

post both the admin/includes/configure.php and catalog/includes/configure.php remember to xxxx out the database password at the end of the files.

Hi,

 

What is the value of this line:

 

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

 

in /admin/includes/configure.php

Wow, that was the problem. I had:

 

php_value register_globals on

 

(which worked just fine on my Mac OS X installation of PHP)

 

When I changed this to the following, the problem went away:

 

php_value register_globals 1

 

Thank you very much!

 

(And, wow, is this forum helpful and quick!)
