Hello All!
I was wondering if anyone has had any experience using OSCommerce with the new secv2.2 contribution. This looks like a great enhancement to OSC and I'd like to get it going...
I'm using 5.6r4 and have installed this contrib in a new ibay using the files that came with the contrib for the 'easy_install_123' (A base MS2 store with the changes pre-made). After making the configure and db changes, I have the catalog portion running properly. I cannot get the admin ftn to come up (I get a blank screen)!
I have setup other stores with a stock MS2 release and have not had this problem before. I am using .htaccess to protect their admin directories. This new contrib advises you to login with a vaild email(!)/pwd to access the admin screen, but I don't even get that challenge.
I thought I'd ask for advice before I dig in to see if this has already been solved by someone. Asking other OSCr's here first saves a bunch of miscommunication with others that don't use ibays...
Thanks in advance for any guidance.

Hi! Any OSC'rs out there that have stores running on SME? I'd be happy to collaborate with anyone wishing to write a how-to on this, but right now I could use some advice. Thanks

I have just installed the online store for the first time it looks great but having trouble logging into secure server ie: can't create accounts or check out from website,
HTTP 404 - File not found
everything else seems ok. Yes i did tick the box to use SSL.
And I can't get rid of this warning no matter what I do (chmod 755 configure.php)
Warning: I am able to write to the configuration file: /home/e-smith/files/primary/html/store/catalog/includes/configure.php. This is a potential security risk - please set the right user permissions on this file.
All my admin pages work fine too any help would be most grateful.

what did you install (MS2 / a snapshot / or what)?
how did you install it?
kinda sounds like a file didn't get copied or a config error in \catalog\includes\configure.php. . As to your 2nd problem, chmod 644 should do the trick (after you make your config changes)
there's a good how-to at:
www.acenet-tech.org/cdj/
- look for the OSCommerce how-to.

If your just starting up a shop, take a look at the secv2.2 contrib from the webmakerscorner.com. It has a lot of features that most people will probably use and the download includes a copy of MS2 that already includes the changes. It is a bit different from MS2, so there's an additional learning curve...

cdj-mitel-oscommerce-1.0-07.noarch.rpm

I discovered a typo in my db connection. This problem is solved. Bleary eyes strike again... Sorry for any wasted time.
I do recommend that SMEr's that use OSCommerce check out the Shoppe Enhancement Controller (SECv2.2) contribution though. It provides quite a bit of useful flexibility in pricing and presentation.

Ok it's working now,
This line was missing:
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.mydomain.com');
from my /catalog/includes/configure.php
which lives above this line:
define('ENABLE_SSL', true);
