configure.php questions

**Thannaree** · 9 Oct 2012, 12:32 PM

When I upgraded to version 1.5 I used my old configure.php files and only updated the DATABASE_NAME with the new name.

I've now just upgraded to 1.5.1 and everything works perfectly. However, while checking at the old and new configure.php files find several discrepancies as indicated below.

In admin/includes:

This part

Code:

  $t1 = parse_url(HTTP_SERVER);$p1 = $t1['path'];$t2 = parse_url(HTTPS_SERVER);$p2 = $t2['path'];
  
define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', preg_replace('#^' . str_replace('-', '\-', $p1) . '#', '', dirname($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'])) . '/');
define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_ADMIN', preg_replace('#^' . str_replace('-', '\-', $p2) . '#', '', dirname($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'])) . '/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/');

used to be

Code:

define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/my admin/');
define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_ADMIN', '/my admin/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/');

This part

Code:

define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', realpath(dirname(__FILE__) . '/../') . '/');
define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/');

used to be

HTML Code:

 define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', '/path to my admin/');
 define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/ file folder path on the server /');

These 2 files are new

Code:

 define('DIR_WS_BOXES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'boxes/');
 define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');

These 2 have disappeared:

Code:

 define('USE_PCONNECT', 'false');
 define('STORE_SESSIONS', 'db');

In includes/:

These 2 have disappeared

Code:

define('STORE_SESSIONS', 'db');
define('DIR_WS_PHPBB', '/');

In the files content explained here:
https://www.zen-cart.com/content.php...ents-explained

I found that this one is obsolete and can be removed

Code:

define ('USE_PCONNECT', 'false');

So I guess I can remove the ones that have disappeared and add the new ones.

But shall I replace this part

Code:

define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/my admin/');
define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_ADMIN', '/my admin/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/');

with this one ?

Code:

  $t1 = parse_url(HTTP_SERVER);$p1 = $t1['path'];$t2 = parse_url(HTTPS_SERVER);$p2 = $t2['path'];
  
define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', preg_replace('#^' . str_replace('-', '\-', $p1) . '#', '', dirname($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'])) . '/');
define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_ADMIN', preg_replace('#^' . str_replace('-', '\-', $p2) . '#', '', dirname($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'])) . '/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/');

and that one?

HTML Code:

 define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', '/path to my admin/');
 define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/ file folder path on the server /');

with that one

Code:

define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', realpath(dirname(__FILE__) . '/../') . '/');
define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/');

please advise

You can.

Or you can leave it alone.

The new format was only implemented to make it unnecessary to do any editing of the file when renaming the admin folder. But if yours was already renamed then the matter is moot.
