Zen-cart Problem

[procrastinate]

Hi,

 

After playing around w/oscommerce i decided to also install zen-cart just to compare. however, when i was setting up the instal it gave me a warning showing:

 

PHP open_basedir restrictions = /home/username/:/usr/local/sqmail/:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp

 

what is that? and how do i fix it?

 

thanks

Open a help desk ticket to the techs,

ook, thanks.

 

another question, also when setting up the install for zen-cart - it told me to turn off register globals.... but after i did that, i couldn't go to my oscommerce anymore. it complained: "FATAL ERROR: register_globals is disabled in php.ini, please enable it!"

 

so can you have oscommerce and zen-cart installed/running simultaneously?

[TweezerMan]

I'm guessing you turned off the register_globals setting by putting the following in the .htaccess file in your /public_html directory:

>php_flag register_globals off

Create an .htaccess file in the directory where you installed zen-cart. Remove the above directive from the .htaccess file in the /public_html directory, and place it in the .htaccess file that is in your zen-cart installation directory. This will turn off register_globals just for zen-cart, and leave them enabled for os-commerce (and the rest of your web site).

 

Hope this helps...

hmm...how do i access the admin page for zencart?

 

i typed in "mysite.com/catalog/v1.2.5/admin/" which is what i thought it was after i installed it...but it says url not found. also, after i opened a help desk tic w/tech support they helped me w/the installation but zencart kept giving me a warning saying that my site was insecure cuz i had the default admin settings...after tech support help me fix a few things it said url not found. they then fixed it again and it worked (warning still there)...but all the links on the admin page (to set up products/categories/shipping, etc) didn't work....they said they coudlnt' help me anymore and referred me back to the forum...but now i can't get to the admin page anymore....did i type the wrong url?

[procrastinate]

oh maybe i should add that mysite/catalog/v1.2.5/ is where i installed zencart

[procrastinate]

this is the error:

 

Not Found

The requested URL /admin/login.php was not found on this server.

 

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

 

somebody please help!!!

Try using your cpanel > filemanager or an ftp program to browse to the cart folder and look for the admin file.

[procrastinate]

the login.php file?

 

it's there...under the admin folder.... =\

[procrastinate]

ok n/m scratch all that....i reinstalled zencart and it works now....

 

but when i go to my admin page i get this warning:

Warning Warning: Your Admin login is not secure ... either you still have default login settings for: Admin admin or have not removed or changed: demo demoonly

The login(s) should be changed as soon as possible for the Security of your Shop

For additional Security for the Admin please see the /docs

 

i read the /docs on security for admin and am kinda confused on what im' supposed to do...can someone please explain? am i supposed to change the folder name of "admin" to somehting else or am i supposed to do something to the configure.php files?

 

thanks

[TCH-Don]

I am guessing you need to change the admin password from the default?

[procrastinate]

i was trying to do that first but coudln't find it that's why i got so confused...but i went back again and found where to change the pw....it works now....sorry for all the stupid confusing questions!

 

thanks a lot don!
