So I am taking Mr. Phils suggestion and installing a dev enviroment on my production site.  I can not upload directly to the root, I have to install under a "public_html folder" so I have something that looks like the following:
public_html
./catalog
./extras (know I don't need this)
./dev

In my dev folder I am wanting to install my test versiono of OSC; so now it will look like
./catalog
./extras (know I don't need this)
./dev
../catalog
../extras (again know I don't need this)

where I am having trouble is that I know I have to change the configure.php; I have been searching all over reading the posts I can find on how to change the configure.php so it can find the store in the /dev folder....but I don't know if I have to edit ALL of those paths listed, or just a few of them.?

I must not be searching on the right terms to find the anser, I know it has to be here somewhere  -

I tried searching on
"configure.php", edit configure.php, change directories, and a few other things - will keep searching...

thank you all -

THanks, I actually have looked at that several times, and although I am sure it is well written, the examples are not easy for me to follow....I don't understand if they changed their site (to me it didn't look like "before" and "after" examples.

For example it was /catalog and when I move it, became.....whatever.

I can't even get the installation started in /dev....most likely due to where the files are....but I just get a 404 page can not be found, can't even get to the installation wizard - which probably goes back to the config file - thanks...

[cstovin]

I guess I am not even sure I am having problems with the config.php; I did edit those files, have my file permissions set correctly, but every time I try to navigate now to my dev site I just get a 404 error even when trying to get to the admin panel.

www.vidagrace.com/dev/catalog/admin (if I am trying to get to the admin panel)
www.vidagrace.com/dev/catalog if I am just trying to get to my site -

always comes back with 404?

FYI, your "public_html " folder is also known as root.

Development store configure.php

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http:/www.vidagrace.com/dev/catalog');

  define('DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG', '/dev/catalog/'); //not sure about this line
  define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/dev/catalog/'); // and this one, but give it a shot

  define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG);

Please take note of the WHATEVER_THE_PATH_IS and fill in as required. I have left out the DB connection defines.

This assumes that you access localhost via www.vidagrace.com and that your osCommerce files are within the dev/catalog/ directory ( where account.php/account_edit.php etc are located ).

Thank you Robert - I actually had taken a stab at that file again, line for line, and got everything that you sent me with exception of setting the www.vidagrace for the cookies; I am still getting a 404 error however, so something isn't right?

Any other ideas?  Everything else is as you suggested...

thank you

@cstovin

catalog configure:

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.vidagrace.com/dev/catalog');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.vidagrace.com/dev/catalog');

should be:

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.vidagrace.com');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.vidagrace.com');


Same for the admin configure.php

C. Stovin

The examples I gave are correct and need no changes  so long as the information you provided is correct.

osCommerce files are located at public_html/dev/catalog/

[cstovin]

I tried
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.vidagrace.com');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.vidagrace.com');

in both files as well....no such luck - that is why I tried them with the /dev/catalog - grasping at straws.  All the other information is correct; my folder is at the same level as my original catalog; but have another version inside /dev as mentioned above.  I have no idea why it isn't working - all I get for the catalog or admin is 404 page can not be found error

[FWR Media]

@cstovin

And what happens with my defines in place if you access: -

http://www.vidagrace.com/dev/catalog/index.php

Note the index.php on the end.

[cstovin]

same thing.....i know I have to say which page i want to go to (index.php)......I just keep getting a 404 error; I will put them back the way I had them originally (your way) and try it again....I only chagned them because I was grasping at straws....
thanks for checking...
C.

[FWR Media]

Well let's narrow this down, put a new file in public_html/dev/catalog/

Named simple.php

Put in the file only one line: -

<?php echo __FILE__ . ' actually loaded!'; ?>

Then in your browser run http://www.vidagrace.com/dev/catalog/simple.php

If that fails rename public_html/dev/catalog/.htaccess to htaccess .txt and try again

[cstovin]

Thanks for the ideas...no go....
same 404 error.....I have no idea why I am getting this or why I can't get past it?

[cstovin]

ahhh.  the .htaccess on the main root was the trouble...if that is a problem, then how do I enable that AND keep my dev catalog version? I disabled the wrong .htaccess before (jn the catalog directory)
THANK YOU - but now what?  lol
C.

[cstovin]

I might start this in another topic so it gets seen, but there was an .htaccess file in my directory that had all three files in it (catalog (my main store), Dev, (my dev site) and extras.....I renamed that and no more  problems...

Do I need an .htaccess file in the main root folder?  If so, how do I enable it and get around the errors I have been having getting to my dev site?

thank you all!
