Hi, I may be being really stupid here, but I've just installed oscommerce, and everything is working an looking good except customer login, registration account and checkout pages. When I click on a link to them I get a 404 Not found page. I have installed google checkout although the only installation instructions I've found are very un clear. I think I might have to copy some html code somewhere or something but no idea where. What do I have to do to get this working? Please help, I'm running out of hair to pull out!

Thanks

Luke

Ran into a similar problem once, and it had to do with HTTPS. Check the values for HTTPS in /includes/config.php and make sure they match your site. IOW, if you don't have secure hosting, config.php might be set for https:// when none exists. A 404 will result.

2. … Change the What’s New Here on the front page?
Go to catalog/includes/languages/English/index.php
Find the following line and change it to what you want it to say
CODE
define('HEADING_TITLE', 'What\'s New Here?');

I'd like to change this from text to an image.
For example, I don't want the title to be "What's New Here?", but rather to display my Welcome.png logo. How?

Ignore the above. I worked it out myself thanks.
For those who would like to know, here is the AFTER coding:

define('HEADING_TITLE', '<img src="images/your_image.jpg">');

Just copy and paste the above near the end of the shop//includes/languages/english/index.php folder over the existing:
define('HEADING_TITLE', etc etc line.

Insert the name of your image where is states "your_image.jpg"
Don't forget to also upload your image to the images folder.

Easy done.

thx for
Step 4. … Change the default text on the front page?
Go to catalog/includes/languages/English/index.php
Find the following line that starts with the following (about line 13 – usually the first one ) and change it to what you want it to say

define('HEADING_TITLE', 'TEXT_MAIN', 'This is a default setup …… . PROJECT_VERSION . '</b></font>.');');

But what does the "this is a default setup ... ... . PROJECT_VERSION' mean?
Can I exchange the "this is a default setup" in my own words? e.g. "setup" or is the text preinstalled?

I have just installed osCommerce and carried out much of its customisations. My payment gateway provider is SSL secured as are any other data collecting services. Therefore, it is not necessary for me to have an SSL secured website. During setup, we specified that we have SSL installed. However, I want to change this to non-SSL and execute the website as http and not https except were we pass to the payment gateway. I know I read it somewhere, but cannot find it again. I do not want to redo the installation just to get to the panel that requests this state. Can anyone help me change to this situation?

It's a mistake not to have an ssl installed. The one your gateway provider provides only protects the data going to them. It doesn't do anything for the customer data on your site. With ssl's costing so little, or even free if you use your hosts shared one, there really isn't any reason not to have one. It will more than pay for itself in the sales you will not lose as a result.

But if you still want to do that, you just need to edit the includes/configure.php file. You'll see the option to turn off the ssl there.

3. … Change the Welcome Guest! Would you like to log yourself in? Or would you prefer to create an account on the front page?
Go to catalog/includes/languages/English/index.php
Find the following line and change it to what you want it to say [code define('TEXT_GREETING_GUEST', 'Welcome <span class="greetUser">Guest!</span> Would you like to <a href="%s"><u>log yourself in</u></a>? Or would you prefer to <a href="%s"><u>create an account</u></a>?'); [/code]

Just a quick thing, this is now in includes>Languages>English.php around line 280

I'm not sure I understand the problem but if you don't have a default currency, can't you just go into admin->Localization->Currencies and add one?
