quikscream Posted March 28, 2004 Author Share Posted March 28, 2004 i have one tshirtgod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanR Posted March 28, 2004 Share Posted March 28, 2004 i have one Go into admin via http://www.tshirtgod.com/catalog/admin and it will most likely find it. All this is a whole lot easier if you have your own certificate because then the only change is from http to https, no fooling around with proxies. You already have a unique IP. Certs aren't real expensive, ask your host.

AlanR Posted March 28, 2004 Share Posted March 28, 2004 no, i tried going in secure, and non secure, neither can make a backup Well, that could take some experimenting because you might to track down the real machine path to your www directory. Double check the spelling and case of the directory name. instead of using: define('DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT', $DOCUMENT_ROOT); That will be in your hosting control panel. Leave it for now and worry about backups tomorrow.

AlanR Posted March 28, 2004 Share Posted March 28, 2004 Try changing define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/admin/'); to define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/catalog/admin/'); Local: Mac OS X 10.5.8 - Apache 2.2/php 5.3.0/MySQL 5.4.10 • Web Servers: Linux Tools: BBEdit, Coda, Versions (Subversion), Sequel Pro (db management) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quikscream Posted March 28, 2004 Author Share Posted March 28, 2004 no, didnt work tshirtgod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanR Posted March 28, 2004 Share Posted March 28, 2004 create a file called phpinfo.php put this in it <? phpinfo(); ?> (remember, no white space before or after) Upload it to your server to somewhere like http://www.tshirtgod.com/ or a new directory like http://www.tshirtgod.com/utils/ then type in http://www.tshirtgod.com/utils/phpinfo and you'll get a whole lot of info about your envronment. Scroll down till you find Environment then you'll find DOCUMENT_ROOT What's happening now is osC is making a call to find your DOCUMENT_ROOT but you can set it explicitly in the config files (I do). Or as an experiment try changing this define('DIR_FS_BACKUP', DIR_FS_ADMIN . 'backups/'); to define('DIR_FS_BACKUP', DIR_FS_ADMIN . 'admin/backups/'); If it doesn't work change it back. I'm not sure why it's not finding the directory but like I said, I use the explicit path for all FS settings.

AlanR Posted March 28, 2004 Share Posted March 28, 2004 alright I meddled for about 2 hours, and i got the back up to work yah! now, do you have any suggestions in customization? I already installed tempalate customizer, but there are so many files, I dont know which ones to edit to change what. What did you do? What was wrong? At least now you can help the next person. (and I don't mess with much custom stuff, too little time, too much work. I have to sell stuff, make some stuff, take pictures, etc, etc.) I just use what I really need.

AlanR Posted March 29, 2004 Share Posted March 29, 2004 I can't say exactly but here is my final product. ummm... good idea to change one thing at a time, then change it back if it doesn't work. Just for the record in case someone finds this thread in the future. The change he made that made it work was this: define('DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT', '/home/jaldrich/public_html/tshirtgod/catalog/'); instead of: define('DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT', $DOCUMENT_ROOT); He introduced some new, minor mistakes by putting slashes ( '/') in the wrong places The slashes should be in the paths ie: '/catalog/' not in the url Not like this: define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://www.tshirtgod.com/'); It will work the other way but it may lead to other problems in the future. This is just wrong. define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.tshirtgod.com/catalog/'); should be define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.tshirtgod.com'); Local: Mac OS X 10.5.8 - Apache 2.2/php 5.3.0/MySQL 5.4.10 • Web Servers: Linux Tools: BBEdit, Coda, Versions (Subversion), Sequel Pro (db management) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
