Duffy73 Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 (edited) Hi! I just made a clean installation (several clean installations) in a folder of my website , but can't set up a new sales channel. All it doe's is show me a blank page in preview. I changed none of the installation values. The problem occurs either setting up a new channel or copying an existing one. What's going wrong, can anybody give me a hint?

♥Gyakutsuki Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 In this case you can not use osC. But you only chance is to affect an existing design (origin) to your new channel. No tested, I do not know if it's possible. Else you must change and take another hosting. Maybe the osc team can give more information about that.

I also copied an existing demo channel, doesn't work either. the demo channel works perfectly. I don't want/need a new design.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥Gyakutsuki Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Old or new it's not th problem, the problem you must create a symslink on your server. Please wait the answer come from the team. You will have a confirmation or not about that. @VadymG Quote Regards ----------------------------------------- Loïc Contact me by skype for business Contact me @gyakutsuki for an answer on the forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asandros Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 (edited) Hello, Try to add to .htaccess file, located in the osCommerce 4 website root folder, the following: Options FollowSymLinks Edited August 28, 2022 by asandros Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asandros Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 (edited) Please also make sure that your host allows to use rewrite rules in .htaccess file. Apache module "mod_rewrite" should be enabled by host. "AllowOverride" directive should be set to "All" by host in the Apache VirtualHost configuration. By default Apache directives AllowOverride and AllowOverrideList are set to "None", and in this case .htaccess files are completely ignored.

Duffy73 Posted August 29, 2022 Author Share Posted August 29, 2022 Still not working, sorry. There is no virtual host section in my .htaccess. I can't understand the problem: during installation, the demo sales channels are set up by the install script perfectly. I don't understand, why another new sales channel can't be set up automatically in the correct way. Be it as it is, I'll stop trying osCommerce and give it up. It seems to me that it's not the right software for me. Thank you for trying! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no root access, so I can't check my apache config. Anyway, that's not logical. During installation, the system can set up sales channels correctly; then why not from inside the admin dashboard? But please don't spend any more thought on it, I'm trying another ecommerce solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

♥Gyakutsuki Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Osc is not very recommended to use on mutual server specifically if if you not access to a console. Indeed, if you want to create a new theme, you need to know to create a symslink. Also if you can not customize your apache, php it's worst. You can try with an htaccess but in your case, if i understand well, you have just a simple access. I recommend you to change for another hosting. Your problems will be resolved. try this, o2switch.fr Quote Regards ----------------------------------------- Loïc Contact me by skype for business Contact me @gyakutsuki for an answer on the forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are working on this development so as soon as it is available we will let you know. Please see the link below with the article explaining how to proceed with adding a new sales channel now. https://wiki.oscommerce.com/index.php?title=Adding_New_Sales_Channel Best regards, Ivan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
