Topic: osCommerce on SME How-to

[olby]

Hi Craig Jensen.

Thanks so much for your How-To.

Got my shop up and running in now time on SME, but ....

I can't get the SSL to work with oscommerce.
My configure.php are setup like abowe, but I get this error:
The requested URL /bgnet/catalog/HTTPS_SERVER/bgnet/catalog/checkout_payment.php was not found on this server.

Have you any idea on that one too.

Thanks in advance.

Best Regards

Hello olby,

Are you able to access the /admin pages?  Did you check the choice of
'Enable SSL' during install?  If you did not already remove the
/install directory, you can still re-run the script... you may have to
chmod 706 the configure.php files first... *MAY*, try it first.

--------------------------------------------------------------

BTW, now that you have installed it all ;-0

I just completed a new rpm which installs the store and provides
greater security, etc.  *IF*, you are already into the tweaking...
heaven knows it can take a bit to get things right, then let's figure
it out from where you are at... Other wise:

http://www.acenet-tech.org/cdj/beta-rpm/  is where the rpm is.

*Should you choose to use the rpm you will need to:

        1. remove the ibay in server-manager
        2. login as root and do   mysqladmin drop catalog  (ONLY do
        this if you are willing to drop all data you have present in
        the tables!)
        3. install the RPM and follow instructions in 'store_setup'
        document avail where the rpm is.

Hi Craig.

Great job.

Lost my connnection for a few days, but I've finally got to test your RPM version 1.0-0.3.

It works, following your guidelines, and theres no problems on the catalog-side except, that the configure doesn't get set to 706. Easily handled though.

I'm not able to access the admin-site from my browser, Error 403 Not allowed to ...
In admin/includes the configure is set to 706.

After testing I'm left with these, maybe silly, questions:
How do I change the name - if I want 2 or more shops?
Can I set the RPM up to install another snapshot - e.g. ICW's from http://www.chainreactionweb.com/info/hosting/oscommerce-hosting.php?
How do I setup FTP-access to the store, and only the store?

Best Regards

Hello olby,

Fixed in later rpm (same version, revised).

o> I'm not able to access the admin-site from my browser, Error 403 Not allowed

This depends on what version you installed, but try from https://
rather than http:// also, can you access from the server-manager link
"shopadmin"?

o> How do I change the name - if I want 2 or more shops?

You can do this, but not with the rpm (unless you install on seperate
machines), manually by installing either one or the other in
/primary/html and one in an ibay as per my how-to:
http://www.acenet-tech.org/cdj/osCommerce_on-SME_howto/osCommerce-on-SME_5.5-how-to.htm

Please be aware though that the rpm install and the how-to are
completely different and if you install BOTH on one machine, you will
break your store.

o> Can I set the RPM up to install another snapshot - e.g. ICW's from
o> http://www.chainreactionweb.com/info/hosting/oscommerce-hosting.php?

Funny you would ask
I have just created (works fine on SME 5.5 U3 and SME 5.6) an rpm with
this package.  E-mail me directly for the url (i am testing this one
and considering offering it commercially).  It is still considered
beta.


o> How do I setup FTP-access to the store, and only the store?
If you have an SME box, you can set to allow ftp access from
server-manager.  This gives you ftp access to /primary/html with an
admin login.
