2.3.4.1 Index throwing 500 server error

[winkcarau]

I'm hosting on Bluehost, and I installed the github community version.

All pages work except index.php... admin works, login.php works, even if i click on the default items it shows me the correct detail page, so am I missing something?

the index.php file on the community version after install:

<?php
/*
  $Id$

  osCommerce, Open Source E-Commerce Solutions
  http://www.oscommerce.com

  Copyright (c) 2014 osCommerce

  Released under the GNU General Public License
*/

  require('includes/application.php');

  $page_contents = 'index.php';

  require('templates/main_page.php');
?>

Both require files don't exist in the directories, did I install it correctly? Am i suppose to have my own template?

Error log:

[03-Nov-2017 22:13:03 UTC] PHP Warning:  require(includes/application.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /xxxxx/xxxxx/public_html/index.php on line 13

You might want to take that up with Bluehost.   That is not the index.php file from the community version.  I'm not sure what that file is.  The proper index.php file can be found here...

winkcarau: If this is a file from an oscommerce shop, then the line

require('includes/application.php');

should be

require('includes/application_top.php');

This shows the total caotics...

You didnt installed BS CE. You installed an old version of v2.4...

Thanks for everyone's help, I end up nuking the entire website, reinstalled, and it works now.

Apparently I can't just copy from the zip file (like i always do with other zip files), I just unzip and it worked like a charm.
