bpmcclure Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 (edited) As Topic Description notes I have the Main Categories on Main Page contribution (uses main_categories.php in catalog/includes/modules) installed and it works fine in my local development environment. I have deployed the store to a live server, and the site works fine except the category boxes no longer show up on the index page. I'm stumped and looking for some ideas on where to start troubleshooting this. Thanks, Bruce Edited December 17, 2008 by bpmcclure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥zelf Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I'm stumped and looking for some ideas on where to start troubleshooting this. Always start troubleshooting by checking your error logs for php errors. Set your php.ini display_errors option to display all errors, load the page, and then check your logs. If you have already done this and are not seeing any errors, I would suggest posting a link to your domain for others to look at the source code. Quote Virtual Merchant a.k.a.

If you have already done this and are not seeing any errors, I would suggest posting a link to your domain for others to look at the source code. I turned on error reporting in the application_top.php file (I knew how to do that one!), and oddly I get different errors in the dev site and the live one. I think the problem is related to these errors, which show up on the index page in the production site: Notice: Use of undefined constant php - assumed 'php' in /home/supper5/public_html/os/includes/modules/main_categories.php on line 1 Notice: Use of undefined constant php - assumed 'php' in /home/supper5/public_html/os/includes/modules/main_categories.php on line 1 Clearly php is not a variable, it is the code tag at the very beginning of the file.
