graphics dont show

[Adam65]

I am using version 1.3.8a Database Patch Level: 1.3.8


my url: http://www.attackinfo.com.au

I have my own web server. Apache (php, mysql)

everything looks fine when I call it up from here (i.e. ://localhost/zen) but when I use another machine (seperate internet) no graphics are displayed.

Can someone please have a look and let me know what I have done wrong?

Thankyou

Check your includes/configure.php and admin/includes/configure.php. I suspect that when you installed Zen Cart you gave it a domain of "localhost" or "localhost/zen", which can't be resolved when you try to access it remotely.

Your HTTP_SERVER, and similar definitions, need to be "http://www.attackinfo.com.au".

Thanks for the quick response.

I'll go try it now.

ok heres what I did:

made a directory (r2r) and copied the configure.php file to it ending up with c:\xampp\htdocs\zen\includes\r2r\configure.php
opened the file in dreamweaver and made it writable then changed to the following:

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.attackinfo.com.au');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://localhost');

Then I created a directory (r2r) and copied the admin/includes configure.php to c:\xampp\htdocs\zen\admin\includes\r2r\configure.php opened it in DW and made it writable then changed the following:

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.attackinfo.com.au');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://localhost');
define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://www.attackinfo.com.au');
define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://localhost');

In the instances where you see www.attackinfo.com.au above I have changed it from 'localhost'

Tested again but it's still not working.. but obviously I haven't done it properly.

How have I gone wrong?

I'm guessing that you didn't upload your new configure.php files successfully. They're normally read-only on the server so some FTP clients don't like over-writing them. I'm still still seeing evidence of your old settings on your "live" site.

[Adam65]

Thanks. I'm not sure what you mean by uploading the new configure.php files.... so I restarted the apache server thinking that would correctly reload everything... but nope.

I was making the r2r directories off the original dir's to follow the override process... but maybe i've got that mixed up too.

Should I copy my new configure.php files bacak to there original places overwriting the originals?

I thought I'd better ask if this is a no no before I do it.

[kuroi]

Yes, your amended configure.php files need to replace the original versions, otherwise your changes will have no effect.

[Adam65]

okay I have done that and I get no change except a warning message that I have left the files writable.

ill change that now

[Adam65]

still no graphics.

any other ideas?

In those configure files you are directing links (including stylesheets and images) to a folder called zen. I suspect that your domain is also directed to the zen folder. This means that links resolve themselves on your server to zen/zen/

This is probably in your DIR_WS_CATALOG definition.
