n2advnture Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 I just unzipped OS Commerece and uploaded the "catalog" folder to my host via ftp (http://www.mydomain/catalog now exists). I changed both the includes/config.php and admin/includes/config.php to 777 and verified that all folders were set to 755. When I open IE and go to http://www.mydomain.com/catalog/install/install.php the install process does not start. Here's what I get: Not FoundThe requested URL /catalog/install was not found on this server. Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. Apache/1.3.33 Server at www.mydomain.com Port 80 My host is using PHP Version 4.4.0 How do I get the process to actually start running? Thanks in advance! ~Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joking aside, when you FTP to your site, you see your list of directories, 'Catalog' is one of them? When you open 'Catalog', you see the directory 'Install'? Within the directory 'Install', you see the file install.php? If so, can you upload a simple file such as hello.html to the install directory and then point your browser to it to test?

Yes, when I go to ftp://ftp.XYZ.com/catalog/install/install.php - the file appears. I am not sure what you mean by pointing a test hello.html to the install dir.

DarrenJMcCabe Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 I think he means just test html file that displays the word hello. Then see if you can browse to that file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n2advnture Posted October 24, 2005 Author Share Posted October 24, 2005 I think he means just test html file that displays the word hello. Then see if you can browse to that file. Thanks. When I create the html file, it displays fine locally but when I upload it and double click on it in FTP, nothing in the doc displays. If I double click on the install.php file, the code displays fine. Not sure what that means though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥Vger Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 It's my guess that you uploaded the 'catalog' folder alright - but not to the root of your web. You probably loaded it up to somewhere outside of the htdocs or html or public_html folder (the root folder is named differently on different servers).

VectorSix Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 So, if you upload the test file using FTP to the install directory, you should be able to open your browser and go to your website: www.yoursecretsite.com/catalog/install/hello.html you should see the contents of hello.html. If you do, then at least you know you have the correct path. If page cannot be displayed then your path is not correct. Follow me? Vger is stating what I am attempting to confirm. It's not actually where you think it is. Why don't you post the URL to your site, that may be useful. Also, when you first login via FTP, it may be useful to list the available directories here.

n2advnture Posted October 24, 2005 Author Share Posted October 24, 2005 Fuzzy at best. So, if you upload the test file using FTP to the install directory, you should be able to open your browser and go to your website: www.yoursecretsite.com/catalog/install/hello.html you should see the contents of hello.html. If you do, then at least you know you have the correct path. If page cannot be displayed then your path is not correct. Follow me? Yes, that makes complete sense to me but not sure why it doesn't work. http://www.XYZ.com/catalog/install/hello.html comes up with the same 404 file not found error. hhhmm... .

VectorSix Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 Because you were not in the root web directory when you added the subdir /catalog. See my modified post above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n2advnture Posted October 24, 2005 Author Share Posted October 24, 2005 Because you were not in the root web directory when you added the subdir /catalog. See my modified post above. Ok, I relocated the "catalog" to the "public_html" folder and was able to see the "hello.html" that I created in Firefox but not IE.

VectorSix Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 Many hosts will throw this error with files set w/permission @ 777. Change those files (not just folders) which you changed, back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I download the patch but I am not sure where to put the unzipped files. Do they all go in the "catalog" folder? Thanks again! ~Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VectorSix Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 On the phpinfo.php file, I ffingered it. Change it to: <?php phpinfo(); ?> and try it again. Otherwise, I would say it is a permissions problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(ie which folders) Is there a list that displays the correct folders? Also, where is the php.ini file located? I can't find it.

VectorSix Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 They are packaged to go to the correct place is what Vger is telling you. Unzip locally, it makes a folder named catalog. Inside catalog, there are a couple files and more folders. Each folder corresponds with the folders of the store. Put each on your site according to the extract. Catalog -> Catalog, catalog\includes->catalog\includes etc. Upload the files and try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n2advnture Posted October 24, 2005 Author Share Posted October 24, 2005 Ok, the only files I wasn't sure where to put are: \catalog\install\includes\application.php - because after the install, the install directory was removed per instrucitons. contributions.txt LICENSE link_session_variable.txt Are these necessary?
