configure.php modification

[godt]

Every time I make a change to these files, eg., installing multi sites module, I have to do a reinstall. Is there any way to avoid this? It is really painful.

?? More details, please.

I have had reason to edit my configure.php files on several occasions, (different installs of zencart), and whenever I edit the file, ftp to the server and go to main page of zencart, I get the page which tells me (I forget exactly) that it is first time,a nd I need to go through the install process, reinstall the install directory, etc. Happens when, for example, I change localhost to domain name, but on any occasion I change the file/s.

[godt]

Sorry - on one occasion, I entered my domain name in the https config and left https: at 'false'. Had to run the whole config thing again. Any change I make to those files has this effect. There must be something I am missing.

All my configuration info is correct, and works perfectly otherwise

No idea what your doing,
we make modifications to config files al the time with no errors,

[godt]

Yes, that used to be the case for me. No idea to begin where to see what is going wrong!

It all comes down to using correct paths within your 2 config files. If in doubt, contact your Hoster to confirm what should be used.

Very few Zen Cart modules require changes to your config files. Once the config files are correctly setup you should not have to make any changes; unless changing Hosters, using another directory, etc.

I'll start from scratch with my config files. Thanks.

This is weard. The only thing I can think about right now is a permission problem. After FTPing your file, check the permission to make sure that your file can be read. If there is a permission issue don't try to make any change with your FTP client. Use your file manager in your control panel instead.

Ah yes. All down to my lack of concentration. Paths indeed. Don't understand how it worked before. Thank you, people.
