[Ship]

This is what Firefox says. IE just hangs forever.

The web host is running php 5.1.1.

I have installed zencart v1.3.0.1 .

I have successfully installed on another server at this web hosting company but that server is only running php 4.4.1.

It works fine for customer cart login but the admin login form/page will not come up.

I have reloaded admin folder, sub folders and files. I have went over the configure.php with a fine tooth comb.

Is php 5.1.1 a problem?

I have been spinning my wheels for days and days on this and I need to get this up?


Appreciate any ideas very much!!

hard to say. I have ZC running on php5.1.2 with no problems. Although we do say that ZC tentativley supports php 5+, I would be loathe to advise anyone to rely on that.

I would say that you problem is unlikely to be simply a php5 problem, but may be a php.ini prroblem. A lot more info would help :)

Thanks for the response.

The php5 configuration can be seen at:

https://host454.ipowerweb.com/phpinfo.php


It appears to be failing on the logon.php when it calls application_top.php.

I set debug on in application_top.php and get the following output when I try and go to admin:

Thanks again and if the above helps you any please let me know.

I have put up one zen-cart site and added mod's and changes. Not sure why I am having so much trouble just getting to the admin login.

Based from your phpinfo.php file,

session.use_trans_sid 1

should be changed to:

session.use_trans_sid 0

This can be done from your .htaccess file. You can find an example under the admin's root folder from the Zen Cart package you downloaded.

This should give you a hint by resolving this issue.

[FluffyTigger]

Is this is a complete fresh install? You can try doing a complete fresh install or a migration? I have both migration and fresh test of ZC on PHP 5.1.4 on mine and it's working fine.

Oh yeah, noticed your host got ZE1 compatability to Off, what happen if you set that to On?

[Ship]

I added these two lines to the end of the /armoredb/admin/.htaccess file

php_value zend.ze1_compatibility_mode on
php_value session.use_trans_sid 0

This made no difference and I have spent many many many moons on this and I am still stuck.....


Any more ideas? Is my .htaccess value syntax above correct for Apache 2 and php5?


Thanks many!!!!!

Hi,

Its possible that your host has the server configured to not allow local .htaccess files.

In the subject line of this thread, the firefox error is cut off, can you post the error in the body of a reply.

Also PM sent :)

Full text of the firefox error:


************************************************************

The page isn't redirecting properly




Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.





* This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept
cookies.
***************************************************************

It gives me a button to "Retry" but same results.

Firefox makes about 10 attempts before it gives up.
IE 6 just spins its wheels forever.


Thanks .... I will check with IPOWER to see if they will ues the .htacess files or not.


Again thanks to everybody!!

You may wanna do a search on ipower

I seem to recall them having some weird server settings

[FluffyTigger]

You can test any htaccess setting by putting a php file with
<?php phpinfo(); ?> in the body, just call that in a subdir and it will show PHP. There is a column (right) that will show you the LOCAL settings you have if you've set it using htaccess. Any php switcheroo you put in htaccess will show up in the local column if you've successfully applied it.

Also, is this a PHP error or an Apache error? Redirection error are usually apache from what I understand (I've had a few of those when I was writing redirect rules).

A url to the actual page in question might help if we can see the error.
