500 internal error- non-existant class notifier in autload_func.php

[tbrides]

Hi,

I've download v1.3.7 and am trying to set it install it in order to perform and upgrade.

First I uploaded the zip to my webspace, then unzipped it and performed the configure file set-ups. However, when I went to install I got a 500 internal server error.
so I checked my error_log

PHP Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: notifier in /home/website/public_html/store2/includes/autoload_func.php on line 79

So I decided to unzip it locally and upload the entire contents.

Again I got the same error!

So I've downloaded it again and I'm in the process of uploading the zip again.

Now I've extracted the zip again into a new folder. Renamed the configure files and set their permissions - AGAIN the same error.
So it cant be a corrupted Zip file.

PLEASE PLEASE help - I really want to get this upgrade finished.

Could you post the section of your includes/configure.php file that starts

// * DIR_FS_* = Filesystem directories (local/physical)

[tbrides]

// * DIR_FS_* = Filesystem directories (local/physical)

//the following path is a COMPLETE path to your Zen Cart files. eg: /var/www/vhost/accountname/public_html/store/

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/');



define('DIR_FS_DOWNLOAD', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'download/');

define('DIR_FS_DOWNLOAD_PUBLIC', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'pub/');

define('DIR_WS_UPLOADS', DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'uploads/');

define('DIR_FS_UPLOADS', DIR_FS_CATALOG . DIR_WS_UPLOADS);

define('DIR_FS_EMAIL_TEMPLATES', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'email/');



// define our database connection

define('DB_TYPE', 'mysql');

define('DB_PREFIX', ''); // prefix for database table names -- preferred to be left empty

define('DB_SERVER', 'localhost');

define('DB_SERVER_USERNAME', 'root');

define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', '');

define('DB_DATABASE', '');

define('USE_PCONNECT', 'false'); // use persistent connections?

define('STORE_SESSIONS', 'db'); // use 'db' for best support, or '' for file-based storage



// The next 2 "defines" are for SQL cache support.

// For SQL_CACHE_METHOD, you can select from:  none, database, or file

// If you choose "file", then you need to set the DIR_FS_SQL_CACHE to a directory where your apache

// or webserver user has write privileges (chmod 666 or 777). We recommend using the "cache" folder inside the Zen Cart folder

// ie: /path/to/your/webspace/public_html/zen/cache   -- leave no trailing slash

define('SQL_CACHE_METHOD', 'none');

define('DIR_FS_SQL_CACHE', '/enter/your/path/to/public_html_or_htdocs/and/zencart/here/zen/cache');

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/');

It seems to me rather unlikely that your store is located at the absolute root of your PC or server

This is the sort of thing that I would expect to see in there

/usr/local/apache/htdocs/shop/

though of course it will vary from server to server. The path to your cache also needs setting.

hi kuroi,
I've changed it to this

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/home/MYSTORE/public_html/store3/'); 

now I'm not getting anything in the error_log!

but still getting a 500 internal error!

This just means that you have moved past the previous problem and on to the next one.

Did you run the installer to do the installation? Although it's not necessary to do so, the alternative requires that you populate the configure file some other way, e.g. by hand, but your extract strongly suggests that this hasn't been done. For example there is no database name.

What is mostly happening is that Zen Cart is failing to find the database and because the path names aren't set up, can't find the database down page that tells you that either.

i'll try to set-up the paths manually. i cant get onto the install page. i've a new unpopulated DB set-up. I don't want it pointing to the old DB. anyway, ill get back to u with the results

[tbrides]

Ok,

I think I've got it to work. However, it did not run through the set-up with me!

I created a new database and copied over the tables from the old one.

Now in admin it is telling me

Your database appears to need patching to a higher level. See Tools->Server Information to review patch levels.

I went there and I see that Im on version 1.3.7 but the database is version 1.3.6

How do I do I patch it?

[tbrides]

ok

ive seen your previous post

but when I go to zc_install

i get another error

see here

[kuroi]

That's suggesting that there's still something wrong with the configuration.

I'n also a bit puzzled because earlier you said that you were working with a new unpopulated DB setup, but now you have a DB with data held in a previous versions format. Are you sure that you haven't pointed your site at the very data you wanted to protect.

If you can't see a cause for the zc_install problem, an alternative to try would be to go into the zc_install/sql directory and run the upgrade sql for 1.3.6 to 1.3.7 directly to patch the database, though I must confess that I have never done this personally so have no experience to offer.
