We need more clear config.ph

[himmetcota]

Hi all,

 

I am confused with config.php.

I do not want to use install procedure since i wanna learn from the base oscommerce.

I need a configure.php line by line explained. The current explanation comes fuzzy in some parts. For example in DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG what should i say?

i have httpsdocs therefore i should write down /httpsdocs/

But it is webserver directory.. I am confused ;)

 

Take care all..

The entry you are looking for should be the directory of your 'cart'. Eg if the directory you uploaded to is 'catalogue' then enter

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

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.mysite.com'); // eg, http://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers

define('HTTPS_SERVER', ''); // eg, https://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers

define('ENABLE_SSL', false); // secure webserver for checkout procedure?

define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'www.mysite.com');

define('HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN', '');

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

define('HTTPS_COOKIE_PATH', '');

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

define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '');

define('TEMPFIX_DIR_WS_CATALOG', 'http://www.mysite.com/catalog/');

define('DIR_WS_IMAGES', 'images/');

define('DIR_WS_ICONS', DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'icons/');

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

define('DIR_WS_BOXES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'boxes/');

define('DIR_WS_FUNCTIONS', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'functions/');

define('DIR_WS_CLASSES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'classes/');

define('DIR_WS_MODULES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'modules/');

define('DIR_WS_LANGUAGES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'languages/');

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

 

The above is for the configure.php in the 'includes' directory. There is another slightly different one in 'admin/includes'.

 

I appreciate that you want to configure manually, but unless you want to read the WIKI docs before doing the install, I suggest you create a second cart (eg testcart) using a second database (if your provider lets you have one) and do the 'install'. You can then go through the admin configuration and then check the results in the configure files.

 

A second cart is also useful for checking/making mods to test before transfering them to your live cart.

 

Hope this helps
