Wordpress On ZC [Support Thread]

Zen Cart 1.3.7 Root dir - http://www.hollydoodledesigns.com/shop

1. Uploaded(minus index.php) and installed WordPress 2.2into the Zen Cart root dir.
2. Uploaded ZC_ROOT into Zen Cart root dir
3. Commented out "return" in wp-include/template-loader.php
4. Renamed includes/extra_configures/wordpress-config.txt to wordpress-config.php and added database information to the file.
5. Added wp_archives and wp_cats to Layout Boxes Controller.
6. Uploaded /SAMPLE/wp-content/themes/ to wp-content/themes.
7. Pasted CSS into my Zencart stylesheet.css.

After all of that I am still getting the error:

I am getting the following error. "It doesn't look like you've installed WP yet. Try running install.php."

What am I missing or doing wrong?

Thanks,
Brian

re
Layout Boxes Controller
Do you have wp-config.php in your zencart install?
This file should have details of your mysql database etc
associated with your WordPress Install
You can see my demo WordPress Mod install into ZenCart 1.37

Thanks for the hlep.

re
Layout Boxes Controller

It was step 7 in the instructions:
7.Layout Boxes Controller of a ZenCart management screen, please install wp_archives and wp_cats.

Do you have wp-config.php in your zencart install?
This file should have details of your mysql database etc
associated with your WordPress Install

I do have wp-config.php in my Zencart root directory.

This is what it looks like:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
<?php
//mb_language("Japanese");
//mb_internal_encoding("EUC-JP");

if (file_exists('includes/configure.php')) {
include('includes/configure.php');
}else if (file_exists('../includes/configure.php')) {
include('../includes/configure.php');
}

// ** MySQL settings ** //
define('DB_NAME', 'hollydoo_zencart'); // The name of the database
define('DB_USER', 'hollydoodle'); // Your MySQL username
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'mypassword'); // ...and password
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost'); // 99% chance you won't need to change this value*/

// You can have multiple installations in one database if you give each a unique prefix

$table_prefix = DB_PREFIX . 'wp_'; // Only numbers, letters, and underscores please!

define ('WPLANG', '');

/* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */

define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__).'/');
require_once(ABSPATH.'wp-settings.php');
?>
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

One question. I renamed wordpress-config.txt to wordpress-config.php. I also added my database connection information in that file as well. Should I have left it alone and only renamed it?

Thanks again,
Brian

my wp-config.php not same as you have quoted.. yours has
EXTRA entries at top re configure files...
table prefix also different....
i.e. my file

<?php
// ** MySQL settings ** //
define('DB_NAME', 'mydatabase_name');    // The name of the database
define('DB_USER', 'mydatabase-username');     // Your MySQL username
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'mypassword'); // ...and password
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');    // 99% chance you won't need to change this value
// You can have multiple installations in one database if you give each a unique prefix
$table_prefix  = 'wp_';   // Only numbers, letters, and underscores please!
// Change this to localize WordPress.  A corresponding MO file for the
// chosen language must be installed to wp-includes/languages.
// For example, install de.mo to wp-includes/languages and set WPLANG to 'de'
// to enable German language support.
define ('WPLANG', '');
/* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */
define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__).'/');
require_once(ABSPATH.'wp-settings.php');
?>

Layout box controller files are for sideboxes..I did not bother
adding those until after WP Module installed correctly..
wordpress-config.php.. adding database details not required..
HTH

Misty, I am still having the same issue. I must be missing something simple.

Here is what my wp-config.php looks like now.
----------------------------------------------------------

<?php
// ** MySQL settings ** //
define('DB_NAME', 'hollydoo_zencart');
define('DB_USER', 'hollydoo');
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'mypassword');
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');

$table_prefix = 'wp_';

define ('WPLANG', '');

/* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */

define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__).'/');
require_once(ABSPATH.'wp-settings.php');
?>

-------------------------------------------

Here is my wordpress-config.php I just renamed it from .txt to .php. I made no changes to it.
----------------------------------------------

<?php
//
// wordpress on zencart by http://www.s-page.net/
//

$woz_install=0;

if (file_exists(DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'wp-settings.php')) {
$woz_install=1;

define('WP_USE_THEMES', true);
$wp_did_header = true;

define('DB_NAME', DB_DATABASE); // The name of the database
define('DB_USER', DB_SERVER_USERNAME); // Your MySQL username
define('DB_PASSWORD', DB_SERVER_PASSWORD); // ...and password
define('DB_HOST', DB_SERVER); // 99% chance you won't need to change this value

// You can have multiple installations in one database if you give each a unique prefix
$table_prefix = DB_PREFIX . 'wp_'; // Only numbers, letters, and underscores please!

// Change this to localize WordPress. A corresponding MO file for the
// chosen language must be installed to wp-includes/languages.
// For example, install de.mo to wp-includes/languages and set WPLANG to 'de'
// to enable German language support.
define ('WPLANG', '');

/* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */

//define('ABSPATH', './wordpress/');
define('ABSPATH', DIR_FS_CATALOG);

require_once(ABSPATH.'wp-settings.php');

$i=strlen(DIR_WS_CATALOG);
$req=substr($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'],$i,1);
if($req=='?'){
$_GET['main_page']='wordpress';
}

if(isset($_GET['feed'])){
wp();
gzip_compression();
// require_once('./wordpress/wp-includes/template-loader.php');
require_once('./wp-includes/template-loader.php');

exit();
}
}
?>

Do those look OK?

Also,

Is my Wordpress address and Blog Address suppose to point to the root dir in the Wordpress Admin? Here is what I have.

WordPress Address (URL): http://www.hollydoodledesigns.com/shop
Blog Address (URL): http://www.hollydoodledesigns.com/shop

Thanks,
Brian

[misty]

Those files look ok except for

define('DB_USER', 'hollydoo');

My entry there would be i.e.

define('DB_USER', 'hollydoo_somename');

If installed correctly.. url to access your
zencart wordpress mod should be
http://www.hollydoodledesigns.com/shop/?
but you have urls set correctly in WP admin i.e.

define('DB_USER', 'hollydoo');

My entry there would be i.e.

define('DB_USER', 'hollydoo_somename');

I went ahead and created a database user named hollydoo_wp that has full access to the hollydoo_zencart database which is where the wp tables are located. I updated the wp-config.php to reflect this and I still get the same error. I am unsure how to proceed. I have no clue what is causing this error and how to troubleshoot it. Below is what I changed in my wp-config.php file.

define('DB_USER', 'hollydoo_wp');

I got it working. The problem was in the wordpress-config.php

Before:

// You can have multiple installations in one database if you give each a unique prefix
$table_prefix = DB_PREFIX . 'wp_'; // Only numbers, letters, and underscores please!

After:

// You can have multiple installations in one database if you give each a unique prefix
$table_prefix = 'wp_'; // Only numbers, letters, and underscores please!

Thanks to everyone that offered up suggestions. I appreciate it. I am sure I will be back with some more questions as I try to tweak the layout to my liking.
