Wordpress On ZC [Support Thread]

[DivaVocals]

Also from Hira's instructions:
[a] Wordpress and Zen-Cart into separate directories.

[Path of Zen-Cart]
/var/www/vhost/example.com/public_html/(shop/)

[Path of WordPress]
/var/www/vhost/example.com/public_html/blog/
[WordPress admin URL]
http://example.com/blog/wp-admin/eg)

============================================

[b] Wordpress and Zen-Cart into the same directory. eg)
[Path of Zen-Cart]
/var/www/vhost/example.com/public_html/

[Path of WordPress]
/var/www/vhost/example.com/public_html/
[WordPress admin URL]
http://example.com/wp-admin/

I have tried the posts 438, and i have read the readme. I have also tried installing wordpress into a seperate directory. Three times. If the answer is in 438-442, then i have missed it. Can anyone give me an idea of what the problem is based on the information i have provided?

The point DivaVocals (who pretty much singlehandedly keeps this thread active and useful out of the goodness of his heart) is making is that your abspath looks wrong.

You don't need to understand why. Look at post 440. It will tell you how to find out what the abspath should look like for your server.

In your ZenCart configure.php (includes/configure.php) what does it say here:

// * 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', 'WHAT DOES IT SAY HERE?');

This should be around line 40. This is the direct path to your ZC. If you are putting WP in it's own directory, as in "blog", all you would have to do in your wordpress-config.php file is add the path to ZC and then add "blog/" at the end.

The wordpress-config.php is part of the WOZ install and is located in includes/extra_configures/wordpress-config.php. This is the file where you need to define the path to WP.

Hi there. All the posts I've seen here regarding rewrites seem to relate to the Wordpress pages. I need help getting around my existing rewrites I'm using for my zencart urls before I can even get into my Wordpress installation.

I've installed Wordpress in a subdirectory of my site, but my htaccess file is rewriting the url so I can't even go to the Wordpress admin. Does anyone know the code to add to my htaccess to tell it to NOT rewrite this particular subdirectory filepath. I don't want to change the rest of my rewrites - just the path to wordpress.

Thank you!

I ran into the same type of problem. If you have both Zen Cart and Wordpress in the root, try these:

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

$woz_install=0;

if (file_exists(ABSPATH.'wp-config.php')) {
    $woz_install=1;
    define('WP_USE_THEMES', true);
    $wp_did_header = true;

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

You have indeed missed it.. Your ABSPATH is wrong because you entered a relative path based on your site's URL. The ABSOLUTE PATH (ABSPATH) that is needed in the wp-config.php file is the actual location on your hosts webserver where your files are located. You can find this by opening your ZenCart configure.php file. Then go back to the posts I suggested or read niccol's post.. It explains what to do next..

Absolute path



Also known as the full path, the absolute path is a path that contains the root directory and all other sub directories required to get into the directory you're currently in or wish to get to. Below is a basic example of a generic path and an absolute path.

Absolute path:
/home/users/c/computerhope/public_html/cgi-bin

Non absolute path (relative path):
public_html/cgi-bin As can be seen from the above example, the absolute path contains the full path instead of a few directories contained within the absolute path.

More info..

To find out what your absolute path is[1], copy the following code into a text editor (i.e. Notepad, TextEdit etc), save the file as a .php naming it whatever you want (i.e anyfilename.php.).

Using your FTP software, ftp the file you have just created to your root folder. Open a web browser and type in http://www.yourdomain.com/filename.php.

<?php   $path = getcwd();   echo "Your Absoluthe Path is: ";   echo $path;?>

IMPORTANT: For security reasons, delete this file as soon as you have ascertained the information you require.

Hope this all helps..

Nevermind - what I was going to say was already said, and I don't see where to delete this. :-)

My installation went alright more or less, but having WP installed messes up several existing things on my site. The most critical is that I receive the following errors:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in .../includes/classes/seo.url.php(1067) : eval()'d code on line 7

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in .../includes/classes/seo.url.php(1067) : eval()'d code on line 7

Line 1067 of my seo.url.php reads:

eval("$cache_data");

I think line 7 is referring to wordpress-config.php


Any suggestions?

I am having a similar issue.
So far only on the ZenCard/WP blog combination page, I have an error that shows at the top of the page.

Here is the link: http://lasersurplusparts.com/?page_id=2

Here is the error:
Warning: fopen(ip2country.csv) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /site/nav/public_html/lasersurplusparts/includes/ipcheck.php on line 12

Warning: fgets(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /site/nav/public_html/lasersurplusparts/includes/ipcheck.php on line 16

Warning: rewind(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /site/nav/public_html/lasersurplusparts/includes/ipcheck.php on line 34

Any ideas?

Thanks

After removing the edits, everything is hunky dory.
