Topic: phpmyadmin, osCommerce and https

[peterpan746]

I hope someone can help me with this.  As soon as I try to connect to any Https Url on my SMR server (Severmode only, and only internal) I get:

Code: [Select]

The page isn't redirecting properly

Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

    *   This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept
          cookies.

It used to work, and I'm not sure where things got messed up since I never touched the the httpd.conf file.  I did try to look it up here and on the web, and did clear the cookies and the cache, IE gives the same type of error. Nothing worked.

Contribs installed when problem showed up:

SARK/SAIL

Contribs now installed:
SARK/SAIL
osCommerce

what is it redirecting to oscommerce or something else

[peterpan746]

Hi there,

It is not redirecting to anything.  In phpmyadmin it loads the two frames but the gives the error message in each.

Contribs now installed:
SARK/SAIL
osCommerce

So it seems you did not install only the contribs listed above...

In phpmyadmin it loads the two frames but the gives the error message in each.

... but PhpMyAdmin as well. Any more? A complete list would be helpfull.

A few questions did you update any of the oscommerce or phpmyadmin RPMs lately?
What is the content of your /opt directory, does it list phpmyadmin and oscommerce there?
What databases are installed on the system, check by:

Code: [Select]

mysql -e "SHOW DATABASES"

[peterpan746]

List of Databases:

Code: [Select]

[root@peterpan ~]# mysql -e "SHOW DATABASES"
+------------+
| Database   |
+------------+
| asterisk   |
| generators |
| horde      |
| mysql      |
| oscommerce |
| test       |
+------------+

I did do an upgrade in this week from the server-manager panel, but that was before osCommerce was installed, so it will only be on the phpmyadmin.   I have since removed osCommerce. So now the contribs installed are:

Code: [Select]

phpmyadmin
SARK/SAIL

The OPT drectory lists:  phpmyadmin and oscommerce.

Please answer all questions... as you seem to have forgotten this one. What is the output of:

Code: [Select]

ls /optAnd while you are at it please also do:

Code: [Select]

rpm -q smeserver-oscommerce smeserver-phpmyadmin*

[peterpan746]

ls for /opt

Code: [Select]

[root@peterpan opt]# ls /opt
oscommerce  phpmyadmin
[root@peterpan opt]#


Code: [Select]


[root@peterpan opt]# rpm -q smeserver-oscommerce smeserver-phpmyadmin*
package smeserver-oscommerce is not installed
package smeserver-phpmyadmin* is not installed
[root@peterpan opt]#


[cactus]

ls for /opt

Code: [Select]

[root@peterpan opt]# ls /opt
oscommerce  phpmyadmin
[root@peterpan opt]#


Code: [Select]


[root@peterpan opt]# rpm -q smeserver-oscommerce smeserver-phpmyadmin*
package smeserver-oscommerce is not installed
package smeserver-phpmyadmin* is not installed
[root@peterpan opt]#


Please also check the output of

Code: [Select]

rpm -q smeserver-phpmyadmin (as yum does not seem to support wildcards, if it does not output the package version then you might have your phpmyadmin problem. You think it is installed but by a coding flaw in the previous package the new installation is also accidentaly removed right after installation. Please re-install phpmyadmin and you should be OK.

When I removed the * from the string you gave me to check if phpmyadmin is installed I got this result:

Code: [Select]

[root@peterpan opt]# rpm -q smeserver-oscommerce smeserver-phpmyadmin
package smeserver-oscommerce is not installed
smeserver-phpmyadmin-2.11.1.2-1.el4.sme
[root@peterpan opt]#

Doing

Code: [Select]

yum info installed smeserver-phpmyadmin
gave me

Code: [Select]

[root@peterpan opt]# yum info installed smeserver-phpmyadmin

I did a fresh install and now the problem is gone.  I must have messed something up.  Thank you for trying to help me.
