madyson3 Posted May 31, 2004 Posted May 31, 2004 Try posting your index.php. That might assist others in helping you. See you on the dark side, Kristy I'm just a girl living in captivity Your rules of thumb makes me worrisome
bobthelucky Posted May 31, 2004 Posted May 31, 2004 try getting rid of your cookies,if you reinstalled the page and it was only one you worked on it should be ok one would think,so it might be your cookies or try a differeent browser
chewy Posted May 31, 2004 Author Posted May 31, 2004 I have reverted back to the original admin/index.php from the base osc install and I have deleted all cookies and temp internet files, with no effect :(
chewy Posted May 31, 2004 Author Posted May 31, 2004 ended up uploading entire admin section again, the only thing I can think it was was a corrupt files somewhere ??
nrlatsha Posted May 31, 2004 Posted May 31, 2004 try application_top in your includes directory, sounds like its trying to connect twice... 9 times out of 10 its a PEBCAK Error (Problem exists between chair and keyboard) Replace that and you're fine...
trytohelp2 Posted June 4, 2004 Posted June 4, 2004 This error is definitely due to repeated tp_db_connect() function definitions. One possibility is: Check the same file name under catalog/includes/languages/english. All files under this directory contain constant definition statements used in the same name pages. So most of pages have require(DIR_WS_LANGUAGES . $language . '/' . FILENAME_DEFAULT); Anyway, if the error occured, for example, when you load checkout_payment.php page then check the same name file under catalog/includes/languages/english/ and make sure you have constant definition php file, not the same name file under catalog/. Sounds funny but it happned to me.
WendiWest Posted June 16, 2004 Posted June 16, 2004 thank you, thank you, thank you!! I could NOT figure out why i was getting the error! But I checked the 2 files and saw they were the same - definition one no longer in languages/english directory! Man, there's no way I overwrote this. Does this occur "automatically" for some reason? Do files get over-written if you do something else? WEIRD! Hope it doesn't happen again - but thanks for taking time to explain fix! :) The fool thinks himself to be wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool. --William Shakespeare

No files dont get overwritten automatically :) The only way this could of happened is if you uploaded the main index file into the language directory by accident.
