This is complicated to explain but I will try my best, but I honestly not sure how to resolve this. Two Years ago I was encountering "user exceed maximum sql queries" issues and I had hired someone, who creates multiple database users, hence creating a loop which resolved the problem. Then in Jan 2002 we also upgraded to php ver 7. My website has been working perfectly for months? I have been out of the country the last month and today I was trying to add new products to admin for the first time in a few months. Every few minutes I was getting a "cannot connect to database server" issue. If I refresh the screen, it fixes the issue. This is happening on both my admin and my actual website. I have been on the phone for the past 2 hours with my hosting company, which escalated it to their tech group and they sent me back this, implying that it is not their problem but a oscommerce issue? The fact that I never had this pronlem for months and 100% certain that noone has touched my files over the last few months, I am pretty certain that the hosting company has done something. But at this point all I am trying to do is fix the problem. Below is what they sent me back. If anyone can help me, it will be much appreciated.... Hello Gary,Thank you for taking the time to speak with me today. As we discussed, here ae the details of what needs to be done:CX created website using oscommerce application. In the file /public_html/admin/includes/configure.php I am able to following:// define our database connection define('DB_SERVER', 'nontando.netfirmsmysql.com'); // eg, localhost - should not be empty for productive servers define('DB_SERVER_USERNAME', $dbase_user); define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', $dbase_pass); define('DB_DATABASE', 'john'); define('USE_PCONNECT', 'false'); // use persistent connections? define('STORE_SESSIONS', 'mysql'); // leave empty '' for default handler or set to 'mysql'?>But in that file in another location he defined DB username and password in loop condition. Error logs shows:20221024T143331: www.nontando.com/index.phpPHP Warning: mysqli_connect(): php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known in /hermes/bosnacweb05/bosnacweb05aw/b240/nf.nontando/public_html/includes/functions/database.php on line 16PHP Warning: mysqli_connect(): (HY000/2002): php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: NameThank you very much for your patience and understanding.

Thanks Jack. Will play with the option settings and try and remove those errors.

Had this add-on working 100% for years. Past few months had 0 records loading into google shopping so I have just installed googlefeeder 3.4. It is loading and working but unfortunately with no records again loading into google shopping. Just checked merchant center and am now getting some more details re. my errors.

I have 2 questions, one regarding Googlebase datafeed and one regarding Bing Datafeed running ver 2.9), lets start with the latter. My Bing datafeed has never worked. The error I get when I run from admin is: File completed: bingshopping.txt FTP connection has failed! Attempted to connect to uploads.google.com for user googleFTP-username My Googlebase feed has always worked. I know Google has changed their shopping data requirements in recent months. Hence, although this has always worked perfectly for years I am now getting status reports saying all records were proccesed, eg 1,097 items processed Shopping: 0 / 1,097 Uploaded at: March 22, 2015 6:00:00 AM EDT Processed at: March 22, 2015 6:15:01 AM EDT The errors are related to missing tax info, missing shipping info, insufficient product identifiers. Unfortunately, some of these fields, I have never used, eg. product udentifiers. I use tax info & shipping info, and nothing has changed re. field attributes, from before (when I ran the script for years and never got any years) to now, when Google has changed their requirements. Any ideas ? Should I install the latest add-on update - will that resolve the issue? Thanks Gary

Thanks Joli - I needed to go into includes/work and delete the cache files. Perfect now! Thanks, Gary

I had this add-on installed a few months ago and works great - www.nontando.com (left side menu) However today I added a new category and although it appears in my top menu, it does not appear in my left sided menu (i.e. superfish cat. box). I then deleted a category from admin, and for some reason this still appears in the left menu. It looks like anything I change re. categories does not get reflected in the left menu. Almost seems like it has been hardcoded. I did not install this but if someone can give me an idea where to check that will be appreciated Regards Gary

Jase - Just had one or two more questions that are puzzling me. When you are in Response Mail Manager>Status update and you do a "test" the subject header you receive in the email says "Status Update". Yet, when you change the status of an order within admin, eg. processing, shipping, etc the subject header says "Order update". The format and template is the same so that part is working? Is this suppose to be like that?

I have never sent a mailing yet. I did try and send it and it just said customer sent=0? I am not sure about the mmstatus and why it does not send any mailing - What I am trying to understand, as per my earlier message, can I use a newsletter that already has a flag = sent and how, is at all, can I copy and existing newsletter rather than have to recreate a a new one each time.

I have one or two more issues/questions: When we installed this add-on, in BulkMail manager it had a default weekly newsletter. This newsletter has sent flag = true with a date of 7/15/11 as date sent. I have since edited this newsletter using the layout, etc for my own use. When I tried to send it, it came back with 0 sent. The "test" works fine. Is this because it has already been sent and you cannot resend it? In this regard, what if I want to use the same format for my newsletters, i.e. ideally I would like to copy an existing one and just change images, text, etc - how would I do this? Thanks, gary

We have installed this add-on and it is great. Having one issue which I am not sure if it related to mail manager but it use to work before and now does not, i.e. when customer registers/creates new account. I use to receive a confirmation to my email letting me know. I am now not receiving this email. I am using "Response Mail" options and those are working, i.e. customer received emails, and when I test to my email I get those emails. Any ideas? Thanks, Gary

We installed this a few days ago. All pretty much working except password reset. Not sure what is going on here but have been testing using my own account and getting email with EMAIL_PASSWORD_REMINDER_SUBJECT appearing as the subject and appearing in the email is: EMAIL_PASSWORD_REMINDER_BODY That is it! My website is www.nontando.com Thanks, Gary

Thanks Jim - I have submitted a Commercial forum request as I have no idea what else to change

Hi Jim, Sorry for all the crazy questions but I have changed template_top and copied it my server I have copied across the 2 new files. Now I go into admin and I dont see any Header Tags module in module to configure? I am following your install instructions and dont read anything else that I was suppose to have done. I am using osc 2.2? Could that be the problem? Regards, Gary

Hi Jim, Which 3 lines as I just ran the comparison using Winmerge and it come up with about 15 lines of code difference?

Hi Folks, I am looking to install this add-on but I am concerned about template_top.php as I have edited this file in the past to accomodate other add-ons, hence if someone can guide me what to edit/add to my existing code that would be much appreciated. I know I can run a comparison but that will still not exactly help me here...My current code looks like this: ?php /* $Id$ osCommerce, Open Source E-Commerce Solutions http://www.oscommerce.com Copyright (c) 2010 osCommerce Released under the GNU General Public License */ $oscTemplate->buildBlocks(); if (!$oscTemplate->hasBlocks('boxes_column_left')) { $oscTemplate->setGridContentWidth($oscTemplate->getGridContentWidth() + $oscTemplate->getGridColumnWidth()); } if (!$oscTemplate->hasBlocks('boxes_column_right')) { $oscTemplate->setGridContentWidth($oscTemplate->getGridContentWidth() + $oscTemplate->getGridColumnWidth()); } ?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" <?php echo HTML_PARAMS; ?>> <head> <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE8"> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=<?php echo CHARSET; ?>" /> <?php include(DIR_WS_INCLUDES .

Please review http://www.oscommerce.com/forums/topic/391609-redirect-htaccess/ I had installed this add-on in June 2011. I would like to remove the index.php from appearing in the url. Is this possible? My website is www.nontando.com

Thanks Robert - I appreciate your support and patience. Between my hosting company and Oscommerce, it has become too frustrating for me. I dont how to resolve this. I have shared with you my htaccess file and anything I seemed to add to this file, causes an error. I dont know enough about server settings, etc, and what is required here. I am planning to recreate my website using weebly - i know a few others that have moved across and they are all extremely happy

Robert, Just spoke to my web hosting company. They did not have a clue if mod_rewrite was loaded? I dont know....Cannot say I did not try here!

This is what my root htaccess file looks like now..... # $Id: .htaccess,v 1.3 2003/06/12 10:53:20 hpdl Exp $ # # This is used with Apache WebServers # # For this to work, you must include the parameter 'Options' to # the AllowOverride configuration # # Example: # # <Directory "/usr/local/apache/htdocs"> # AllowOverride Options # </Directory> # # 'All' with also work.

Hence, if someone can just tell me, based on what i am trying to do, what code exactly am I suppose to add to htaccess. Thanks, Gary

Okay had someone take a look at my issue...here is his comments.... Initial Investigation: Site urls are appearing http://www.nontando.com/index.php/beadwork-c-54 because "Choose the uri format" to "Standard" in Seo Urls 5 configuration. To remove index.php from url "Choose the uri format" should be set to "rewrite". I tried to do but gives 404 error on front end. Also checked htaccess and found no rules has been defined. Please ask your developer who installed the contribution to add respective htaccess changes. I found your store is on production mode and there are orders coming. Changing anything in htaccess can might down the site. Can someone that knows this contr. give me an idea why resetting it to "rewrite" will cause a 404 error?

I installed this about 3 years ago and to be perfectly honest I have no idea if it is actually working or not. I am not sure if there were bugs at that time but one thing that I know that is defintely not working and is my main concern, is for my website, i.e. www.nontando.com when you select one of my categories, lets say masks it displays the url as http://www.nontando.com/index.php/masks-c-29 where based on my config settings (see below) it should not be displaying the index.php Ideally all I want for SEO purposes is just: www.nontando.com/masks Anyway, I dotn know if this the problem but the config settings has it as "mysite". I have no idea how I can reset/change this to nontando.com - defintely cannot do it thru config? Below is my current settings as appearing on config ... ANy guidance will be much appreciated Gary Enable SEO URLs 5? true Enable the cache? true Enable multi language support? false Output W3C valid URLs? true Select your chosen cache system? mysql Set the number of days to store the cache. 7 Choose the uri format standard Choose how your product link text is made up p Filter Short Words 3 Add category parent to beginning of category uris? false Remove all non-alphanumeric characters? false Add cPath to product URLs? false Enter special character conversions. (Better to use the file Turn performance reporting on true/false. false Turn variable reporting on true/false. false Force www.mysite.com/ when www.mysite.com/index.php true Reset USU5 Cache

Hopefully someone can help me. I installed this contr. about 2 years ago and always thought it was working fine. I have been working hard, the last few months, on trying to improve my SEO across my website , i.e. www.nontando.com The one thing I have noticed which is hurting my SEO is when I click on any categories it displays it as http://www.nontando.com/index.php/masks-c-29 rather than www.nontando/masks which I would much prefer and much better for SEO purposes. I have checked my SEO URL 5 config settings and it looks like this: Enable SEO URLs 5? true Enable the cache? true Enable multi language support? false Output W3C valid URLs? true Select your chosen cache system? mysql Set the number of days to store the cache. 7 Choose the uri format standard Choose how your product link text is made up p Filter Short Words 3 Add category parent to beginning of category uris? false Remove all non-alphanumeric characters? false Add cPath to product URLs? false Enter special character conversions. (Better to use the file Turn performance reporting on true/false. false Turn variable reporting on true/false. false Force www.mysite.com/ when www.mysite.com/index.php true Reset USU5 Cache So, I am not really sure where I have gone wrong - I may be going in the wrong direction but maybe, even if it not related to this contr. someone can guide me in the right direction.

Okay, I think the problem is that I am running PHP version 5. From all accounts, I dont think there is an upgrade/fix to run this contribution on version 5. Pity, as it was a great contribution. Regards, Gary
