OSCommerce incorrect values

[mleaver]

Thanx everyone for your help, especially Stevel. Got site up and was workng on security and backingup. when I tried to clean files of old scripts before backing up, it went south fast!
I’m almost back on line with an old copy . I was getting this error below before on my OScommerce Web/Admin site.

The requested URL /powweb-bin/php4/DIR_WS_ADMINcategories.php was not found on this server.

and fixed it by adding line 26 define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/admin/');

Now I’m just missing the pictures for my listings which are in the root directory

Error: Destination not writeable. Error: Catalog images directory is not writeable: / They seem writable set to 744, now.

When loading up pictures I get this, Success: File upload saved successfully
But I see nothing, Gotta be close. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I was trying to add a define (DIR_WS_CATALOG’, ‘/’) as Stevel suggested here before the backup which worked, I now get a parse error.

Stevels earlier fix - Your problem was that your admin/includes/configure.php had incorrect values. The xxx_SERVER defines must not have slashes at the end (yours did), and the DIR_WS_ADMIN and DIR_WS_CATALOG defines must start with slashes (yours didn't). Also, your DIR_WS_CATALOG referred to catalog/ whereas you have moved your catalog files to the top level. Therefore, DIR_WS_CATALOG must be '/'.-



This is my admin/includes/config.php now. ( I know there is a slash after .net but I doesn't seem to matter now. )

You've corrupted your admin area by using the catalog's includes/configure.php instead of the correct one for admin. And even this has errors.

The variables section of your admin's configure.php should look like this:

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'https://southseajewelrynet.secure.powweb.com');
define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://southseajewelry.net');
define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://southseajewelrynet.secure.powweb.com');
define('ENABLE_SSL_CATALOG', 'true'); // secure webserver for catalog module
define('DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT', '/www/s/southseajewe/htdocs/');
define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/admin/');
define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT . DIR_WS_ADMIN);
define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/');
define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT . DIR_WS_CATALOG);
define('DIR_WS_IMAGES', 'images/');
define('DIR_WS_ICONS', DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'icons/');
define('DIR_WS_CATALOG_IMAGES', DIR_WS_CATALOG . 'images/');
define('DIR_WS_INCLUDES', 'includes/');
define('DIR_WS_BOXES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'boxes/');
define('DIR_WS_FUNCTIONS', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'functions/');
define('DIR_WS_CLASSES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'classes/');
define('DIR_WS_MODULES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'modules/');
define('DIR_WS_LANGUAGES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'languages/');
define('DIR_WS_CATALOG_LANGUAGES', DIR_WS_CATALOG . 'includes/languages/');
define('DIR_FS_CATALOG_LANGUAGES', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'includes/languages/');
define('DIR_FS_CATALOG_IMAGES', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'images/');
define('DIR_FS_CATALOG_MODULES', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'includes/modules/');
define('DIR_FS_BACKUP', DIR_FS_ADMIN . 'backups/');

Try that and see how it works for you.

Thanx Stevel got it! It's starting to make sense.
