osCommerce

The e-commerce.

May be the dumbest question in the forum

I have had some problems with the installation wizard. According to my host, they wrote this messege.

 

The error you were encountering through the wizard was due to the install

procedure looking for files and paths on a Unix/Linux server. This is common when running an install on a Windows server. The paths are built differently.

I configured and installed the store manually. I ran the oscommerce.sql

file through PHPMyAdmin.

 

Anyway, I didnt get a chance to finish wizard..(I guess I didnt have to cuz they did it all for me). Now what, how to I make all changes to the store (including add products, structure, all other things I need) Was not sure if I add the info to database by going to certain url ex/http://mydomain.com/catalog..... or if I add through myPhP admin through server? What is the next step? I figure I missed something cuz I didnt finish wizard, but my host told me not to.

 

Thanks,

J

I figured that may be it but it says page not found so maybe I do have to finish the wizard. My host wrote me this after I asked them if I should finish it:

 

No, do not run the wizard. Please download the config, edit it to make your configuration changes, then upload it again. The wizard is only for unix server installs.

 

Not sure what they mean by that. I figure Ill ask here, because people here may know more than them regarding this cart. Maybe my host was doing something wrong.

 

Please advise...

 

Thanks everyone

Actually my store works, but my admin does not. What should I do?

 

Post us both (in catalog/includes and catalog/admin/includes) your configure.php files, without the database credentials please!!

Start by replacing following lines

 

define('HTTP_SERVER', ''); // eg, http://localhost or - https://localhost should not be NULL for productive servers
define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', '');

 

with

 

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.yourhost.ext'); // eg, http://localhost or - https://localhost should not be NULL for productive servers
define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://www.yourhost.ext');

 

and we will see for the rest!

Not sure if I have productive server...what does that mean?

Your osCommerce installation is on the net? It's a productive server, or at least, that's what I would call a productive server in our case!

 

So, what about your administration pages? Any change??

Another question:

Where it says,

define('DB_DATABASE', 'osCommerce');

 

Do I change it to what my db is? Im not too familiar with PHP

 

// define our database connection

define('DB_SERVER', '****.com'); // eg, localhost - should not be empty for productive servers

define('DB_SERVER_USERNAME', '*******');

define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', '*******');

define('DB_DATABASE', 'osCommerce');

define('USE_PCONNECT', 'false'); // use persistent connections?

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

?>

 

 

Thanks for your help!

Yes, you have to, otherwise it will not work!!

 

And put also

 

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

 

just in case!
