♥Vger Posted June 30, 2008 Author Share Posted June 30, 2008 That error means that the install did not write data to the admin/includes/configure.php file - so you'll have to enter the data yourself. Use the includes/configure.php file as a guide, but be careful because they are different. Vger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datd Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 define('DB_SERVER', 'p50mysql115.secureserver.net'); // eg, localhost - should not be empty for productive servers define('DB_SERVER_USERNAME', 'username'); define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', 'password'); define('DB_DATABASE', 'databasename'); define('USE_PCONNECT', 'false'); // use persistent connections? define('STORE_SESSIONS', ''); I did this in includes/configure.php and still getting the same error. do I have to make changes somewhere else also?

BryceJr Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 define('DB_SERVER', 'p50mysql115.secureserver.net'); <--- Still NOT correct The database server information will not show on the url (locator) bar. You'll see it once you've logged in to phpMyAdmin AND chosen your database. On the top of the page below the locator bar, you'll see a server icon with an ip address and adjacent to that is the name of the database you created. You need to log in to your database server. On the first page upon selecting a database(assuming you already created one), is an ip address, for example 10.3.2.1 <-- that is your databse server info you need to enter during installation. Note: I'm pointing out a sample IP. Your database server ip is something else. BTW, define('STORE_SESSIONS', 'mysql'); Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

♥Vger Posted June 30, 2008 Author Share Posted June 30, 2008 Check with your hosts that your db server address is an ip address. Usually it is just 'localhost' (without the quotation marks). Vger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BryceJr Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Verify that the information is correct. Do not post real information, just verify. define('DB_SERVER_USERNAME', 'serverusername');<-- This is the username you use to log in to phpMyAdmin, correct? define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', 'password');<-- This is the password you use to log in to phpMyAdmin, correct? define('DB_DATABASE', 'databasename');<-- This is the name of your database you created in phpMyAdmin, correct?

BryceJr Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Check with your hosts that your db server address is an ip address. Usually it is just 'localhost' (without the quotation marks). Vger define('DB_SERVER', 'usually an ip address or localhost'); <--Follow Vger's advice and check with host and verify. define('DB_SERVER_USERNAME', 'username you use to log in to phpMyAdmin'); define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', 'password you use to log in to phpMyAdmin'); define('DB_DATABASE', 'name of your database you created in phpMyAdmin/mysql'); If you deleted your database and created another with the same database name, your DB_Server will change to a different ip address. Could you verify your DB_SERVER ip? By the way how did you edit your configure.php files? After editing them, did you upload them back to their corresponding folders in your web server?

♥Vger Posted July 1, 2008 Author Share Posted July 1, 2008 You know, it'd be a whole lot easier, rather than go through all of this mess, to use a hosting company that installs osCommerce for you, renames and password protects the admin panel and sets it up to use their shared SSL - with Ultimate SEO URLs thrown in for free ;-) Vger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datd Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 you are right vger. i decided to switch to siteground, oscommerce installation was much more easy! everything worked. i tried to install a new template, it gives me the register_global off error I created a php.ini file with register_global on and then it gave me an error in catalog/includes/functions/database.php file line 19 so i edited database.php in cpanel to this function tep_db_connect($server = ipaddress, $username = dbusername, $password = dbpassword, $database = dbname, $link = 'db_link') { global $$link; then i gave me this error Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_DNUMBER, expecting ')' in /public_html/catalog/includes/functions/database.php on line 13 now i am stuck again. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbleland Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 I have OS Commerce v 2.2 RC1 installed already. I noticed that there is a newer version OS Commerce v 2.2 RC2a available. I have not seen this anywhere, but is there a way to upgrade without having to start from scratch with a new install? Thanks. Sorry if I have missed this somewhere this is a pretty big site.

♥Vger Posted July 4, 2008 Author Share Posted July 4, 2008 so i how do i do it... im new to all databases and i seriously need help... If this is a hosted server then contact your hosting company. If this is your own server then you need to find a specialist forum which helps people trying to self-manage their own server. Vger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DingShu Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Hi Vger, Can you tell me what problem i get ? Warning: session_save_path() [function.session-save-path]: SAFE MODE Restriction in effect.

Thanks! I have changed the last line in configure.php to "mysql" like u said on the first page, it still doesn't work. I configured database in configure.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥Vger Posted July 5, 2008 Author Share Posted July 5, 2008 Session Save Path and Safe Mode------------------------------- The error is a by-product of using PHP in Safe Mode. To get around the problem go to your osCommerce Admin Panel --> Configuration --> Sessions and set Session Save Path to just tmp with no forward slash before or after tmp. You get this error even if you have elected to store sessions in the database. If the error prevents you from accessing your admin panel then access the database via phpMyAdmin, go to the 'configuration' table, find the Session Save Directory entry (there are several pages of entries for this table), open it for editing and change /tmp to just tmp with no slash before (or after) it.

Puckle Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 I have a question that might seem terribly silly, but I haven't found the answer anywhere.... To change my store to be in Spanish, all I have to do is switch the default language in the Admin area, right? Instead of having a store in english I should have a store in spanish now? I've switched to spanish as default, but my store is still in english. Thanks for any help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥Vger Posted July 6, 2008 Author Share Posted July 6, 2008 The default osCommerce languages are English, German and Spanish. The language you will see displayed will depend on the default language your Browser uses - so if your Browser's default language is Spanish then you'll see the Spanish version of the site.

Vger So I can't make it be in spanish for everyone, regardless of their browser settings? If not, I have to change both the english and spanish files for the text, right? (like the email, data forms, box names, etc?) Thank you again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥Vger Posted July 6, 2008 Author Share Posted July 6, 2008 In osC Admin --> Localisation --> Languages - delete English and German - but don't delete the files via FTP - leave those in place. Vger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puckle Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 Thanks Vger! I deleted the german...and left the english....maybe someday international shipping won't be that expensive (*dreams*). I'll just modify both files to get the text the way I like it, I guess. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
