  1. This is due to one of several things. First the setup of te contribution isn't right. The two "configuration_cache_read.php" files have a path that needs to be set up EXACTLY the same, ie., home/mysite/cache/config_cach.php. Next you need the right user privelidges on the folder wit the cache file to be written to, I ue 777 or 755. I've found that one one server I had to make sure twice hat it was set to allow access to the software. Finally there's so many webserver setups its easy to get the path wrong. My cache file sits in a folder that is right along side public_html, so my pat to the cache file is as shown above, home/mysite/cache/config_cache.php. I got the same errors as you showed, this was because I had entered the path incorrectly & once rectified it was fine & certainly speeds te site up a useful amount.
  2. I've tried this mod but it's provided no improvement in speed & the admin side is messed up. There's no config_cache.php file being created plus I get the following warnings Warning: session_start(): open(SESSION_WRITE_DIRECTORY/sess_0807ee5733730bdf81a3c6a1305401af, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in /home/delightf/public_html/catalog/admin/includes/functions/sessions.php on line 67 Warning: session_start(): Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at /home/delightf/public_html/catalog/admin/includes/functions/sessions.php:67) in /home/delightf/public_html/catalog/admin/includes/functions/sessions.php on line 67 These are at the top & just below I get a red band with Error: There is currently no default currency set. Please set one at: Administration Tool->Localization->Currencies ERROR_NO_DEFAULT_LANGUAGE_DEFINED Error: Cache directory does not exist. Please set this Configuration->Cache. then below the admin screen I get Warning: Unknown(): open(SESSION_WRITE_DIRECTORY/sess_0807ee5733730bdf81a3c6a1305401af, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in Unknown on line 0 Warning: Unknown(): Failed to write session data (files). Please verify that the current setting of session.save_path is correct (SESSION_WRITE_DIRECTORY) in Unknown on line 0 I've tried reading & re-reading the instructions & as far as I can tell I've got it installed correctly & the right file path is set in the configuration_cache_read.php files (currently "/home/delightf/public_html/cache/config_cache/config_cache.php) These errors disapear when I remove the config cache mod. I've seen similar messages posted in the past & it all seems to be about setting the right file path for config_cache.php, but I've tried everthing know. BTW is it RIGHT that a cache file should be given the "php" extension? Shouldn't it be different from actual PHP files? Any help would be greatl appreciated. Thanks. Mike
  3. I'm using Chemos Ultimate SEO URLS so my html_output.php file looks different & I get stuck at step 6. The instructions say: STEP 6 - Edit includes/functions/html_output.php Find this code in tep_href_link(): And REPLACE it with this code: global $request_type, $session_started; Find this code in tep_href_link(): if (isset($_sid)) { $link .= $separator . $_sid; } And REPLACE it with this code: if (!tep_session_is_registered('customer_id') && ENABLE_PAGE_CACHE == 'true' && class_exists('page_cache')) { $link .= $separator . '<osCsid>'; } elseif (isset($_sid)) { $link .= $separator . $_sid; } Howevever my html_output.php file has a tep_href_link(); that looks like this. // Ultimate SEO URLs v2.1 // The HTML href link wrapper function function tep_href_link($page = '', $parameters = '', $connection = 'NONSSL', $add_session_id = true, $search_engine_safe = true) { global $seo_urls; if ( !is_object($seo_urls) ){ if ( !class_exists('SEO_URL') ){ include_once(DIR_WS_CLASSES . 'seo.class.php'); } global $languages_id; $seo_urls = new SEO_URL($languages_id); } return $seo_urls->href_link($page, $parameters, $connection, $add_session_id); } Does anypone have any sugestions?
  4. I'll have to look into that. Indexes are still a bit ahead of my experience, I'm only just getting pamiliar with php after 2 years of doing tis! Thanks for the suggestion. I'll report back what I find.
  5. SIGH! >_< Well after posting that I ran EP again & it is back to not responding again. Googlefeeder.php is still working, but I note it is taking about 30 seconds longer than before. I'm completely stumped! :(
  6. I managed to fix the problem as far as I can tell. Although the site was working fine & was pretty fast I decided to OPTIMIZE the whole DB in PHPMyAdmin. After I was finished googlefeeder.php & Easy Populate started working again. There must have been some sort of problem in the DB that was hanging up EP & googlefeder but which didn't stop the store from running.This is REALLY strange but it's all working fine now so I'm happy. Of course anyone who tries this must back up their DB first.
  7. I have this problem too, the same symptoms, it works fine & then one day..... nothing. What I find is that also had a problem with the Google base feeders, I used googlefeeder.php & later tried google_base.php too. Neitehr of those worked either & my original feed module, googlefeeder.php, stopped working at the same time Easy Popualte did. Now here's the REALLY suspicious part! I took my code from my first site a long time ago to clone it to another server for a separate store. Here EP & Googlefeeder.php continue to WORK FINE. Since the differences are minimal & mainl cosmetic I cloned the site back onto my original server & got the same trouble, EP & the Google base feed module won't work. This HAS to be a MySQL/Database problem, but what? Iv'e scratched my head & worked wit my server's tech supprot team, but nothing turns up. This is REALLY frustrating especially as I can't get new inventory/price changes uploaded to my original store as EP just won't respond.
  8. I've read this thread from start to finish & can't decide what to do. I put the analytics script into my footer.php module & the code shows up nicely before the /BODY & /HTML tags at the end of each & every page. I don't know if this will actually work, I've been waiting for Google to update for a long time now. However the script shows up on every page possible that includes footer.php (which is to say ALL of them!) so I'm doing something right. BUT...... how does the analytics module make this better? What does it give me over & above what I have now? (assuming it actually works!) Tnx. Mike
  9. Hi Chis, Thanks, I managed to miss that somehow. Chemo's page returned OsCIDs for Google searches & chaging the setting cleared it up.... Now I can only wait to see if it made any difference. I think it will as I could see my site visitors & plainly SE crawlers were picking up a mixture of URLs with & without OsCIDs. Undoubtedly this was causing confusion at the SEs. Man, you think you know enough, then you learn something new that pulls the rug from under your feet. Thnaks, from Mikey by.
  10. I have the same problem & I'm sure this is hurting my SEO ranking rather than helping. When a product page is first viewed I get an OsCID# appended. Any views after that are OK, but since the search engne spiders are mainly picking up on first views they are recording the results based on the OsCID in the URL. I've tried everything I know & YES I have RTFM but I can't stop this from happening. It's the same on another site, on a totally different server, also running the same version of OsC & the same version of Ultmate SEO URLs. I have to say although like the basic idea if I can't get a resolution I'll probably have to de-instal it & go back to the origional or try another SEO URL mod. Mikey.
  11. I get this too, only the products on your index page are shown, not the rest in your databse. Since I've got 3,000 items NOT showing in m RSS feed I'd be very greatful if someon could tell me what to do about this. Mikey
  12. I used this contrib out of the box & it works fine wth my Ultimate SEO URLs. The BIG problem is that it claism to be a "Catalog Feed" yet it only builds a file based on the products on my index page. This measn the RSS feed has only 20 items showing, not the 3,400 I actuall have in the database! Am I doing somethign wrong, is this how RSS is supposed to work, or is this a bug? Thanks. Mike
  13. I've spent a lot of time reading this thread, but I'm very confused about this contribution. I downloaded the latest file (On the Fly Google Sitemaps by stonebridgecomputing, July 11th 2006) & installed it. The modules are called googleSitemapArticles, googleSitemapProducts, googleSitemapCategories, googleSitemapManufacturers & googleSitemapTopics. When I run googleSitemapProducts.php I get an error as shown below: The XML page cannot be displayed Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Only one top level element is allowed in an XML document. Error processing resource 'http://www.mydomain.com/catalog/g... </urlset><script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript"> ----------^ ss="e"> <lastmod>2006-05-19</lastmod> I see that this error is mentioned as "previously dealt with" in the thread several times, but I've not been able to find anything relevant despite searching the topic. The only time I have come across this the post had no replies to it. What confuses me is I keep seeing references to "777 read/write access' to XML files in other posts on this contribution. The contribution I downloaded just had 5 php files, so I'm not sure what I've got to modify. Am I missing some files perhaps? Also, I have this contribution on 2 sites, one gives the above error, the other seems to be OK, but Google won't accept it as a valid XML feed! I've inspected the second site & the feed seems perfect.... I'm confused. Both sites run Chemos Ultimate SEO URLs Any help would be truly appreciated.
  14. I got a repl form Edgeio, the problm with the "http%3A%2F%2F" thing is URL encode. V1.5 wa supposed to fix this & all runs fine on my server now this is uploaded. I can only suggest you make ure that the image link line in rss_edgeio.php looks like this: <img src="'.$imageUrl . $row['products_image'] . '" />'."\n" ; Any reference of "urlencode" should be removed.
  15. My problem is that the module isn't generating correct image URLs for either Edgeio or Google Base. Product URLs are fine, starting "http://" etc etc, but image URLs come out "http%3A%2F%2F" etc etc. As a result my listings in Edgeio don't have ay images, which hits my sales tremendously. I've tried to contact Edgeio but not got a reply. I noticed that just after I e-mailed them a new version was uploaded to the OsC contributions page, but this was a PREVIOUS version, V1.2 (June 16th) where as the on before that was V1.4. Confused???? Maybe it should have been V1.5? Does anyone else have any trouble with rss_edgeio.php getting the image URLs wrong? Is it a setting in the module or something on my server? All thoughs greatly appreciated. Mike
  16. Hi, I've just signed up for PayPal WPP & I am confused how to set up OsC to use WPP. There are 2 setup procedures in my PayPal Pro account, is called "Grant API Permission" the other "Request API Credentials". I'm guessing it's "Request API Credentials" but I am not sure & want to get it right. Which is it? Next, the PayPal site claim that the payment process is transparent for someone with a credit card (ie., not paying by an existing or newly set up PayPal account, the customer never sees the PayPal site when paying by credit card). Yet the instructions for this contribution seem to suggest that the customer goes to the PayPal site. Is this correct? The reason I am concerned is that I've used PayPal as an option on an existing website & sometimes I get customers playing around with the totals! Several orders slipped by with totals for goods & S&H manipulated in their favor!! Any other advice appreciated. Thanks. Mike dah NOOB
  17. This seems to be a problem with te seo.class.php file not being present. Turning the SEO flag to "false" (froogle.php, line 13) will get it to run OK. I'm trying to find out more about the contribution mentioned in the instructions 'This feeder has been revised to work with Ultimate SEO URLs 2.1d (http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,2823)" My guess is that installing this ill allow the flag to b set back to "True". Mikey (Gasping for breath as he realises for the first time he's been able to answer someone's question instead of asking them!!!!!!!)
  18. I fixed this myself, after much headache. This PHP is REALLY hard stuff! The problem was the template I used, which had the left & right info columns & a 800 pix wide banner. This banner was a fixed width, so the central info boxes had to be only wide enough to make the whole setup 800 pixels wide too. However with the added contributions the central box was set to 100%, meaning it took up as much room as it could, hence the problem only showed up at higher resolution settings. Altering the table info soon sorted it out, the central part had to be about 550 pixels wide & <p align=center> applied or it would be up against the left of the screen. Simpler eally....uh, yeah.
  19. Hi, I'm using the Geotrust/Skipjack module for CC processing & it is reliable, easy to use & integrate. However as far as I can tell it only handles Credit Cards, Visa & Mastercard. How do I make it accept Debit cards as well a CCs? Has anyone managed to get it accept Debit cards & CCs at the saem time, maybe even got 2 copies running so that one accepts CCs & the otehr Debit cards? Thanks Mike
  20. I use the Geotrust/Skipjack moduel & it worked out of the box with no problems ever since. The only issue I ahve with it is the lack of Debit Card support, I've no idea how to get it to work with Amex & Discover. Maybe it isn't possible, but I haven't come acorss any Amex/Discover module so I'm kind of stuck. Any suggestions would be greatfully recevied. Thanks. Mike
  21. I found this to be odd too. The image controls for your site Links are split between the Links Manager & the Image Settings. A bit strange if you ask me! But it works & works well. BTW, doese anyone know how to put your images/url on the links page so that others can link to you? This is defintiely something I can't find. Thanks. Mike
  22. Hi, This contribution is the first Link System I managed to get working so I'm keen to keep it! It woeks just fine, pigeonholing the various categories of the links you have on your site, but there's the issue of where do I put my images & HTML code so that others can link to me? I've RTFM, searched the help sites & forums, but haven't come up with an answer. has anyone worked this out? Thanks. Mike www.loverstoyroom.com
  23. Hi, I installed Site Map MS2-2.2 on my site www.loverstoyroom.com. It works fine, but it only looks OK when viewed in 800 x 600. Normally I run 1024 x 768 on my 19 inch monitor & it looks odd on my PC. If you look at the site in 800 x 600 resolution it will look OK, but if you switch to anything higher you'll see that the side columns are pushed out, as if the central part where the site map appears is too wide. They should match the logo at the top, ie, much narrower. I've played around with the settings until blue in the face, but after 3 weeks of tinkering & scouring the web I've not found anything that works. I can narrow the central part, but the left column is still firmly up against the left hand side of the window, all that happens is the right column moves in. I don't know if it is a clue, but I also installed the "Link Share/Exchange" contribution & this has the same problem. No other part of the site is affected (Linkshare/Exchage is not present on the site right now). Any suggestions (clean ones!) greatly appreciated. Thanks. Mike :'(
  24. I've installed Gergoru Baboolal's "Site Map" contribution, but I have a slight problem. The actual Site Map page, when displyaed, is way to wide & my Left & Right columns get pushed off to the side. Is there a way to edit the width of the Site Map information as displayed? Likewise is there a support forum for this contribution? Thanks. Mike :thumbsup:
  25. Hi, Just to clarify my last post. The installation is plain vanilla OsC & the easypopulate.php file is as per the instructions, in that I followed the setup procedure given. Still scratchin'. Mike
