Hi, i am new to cubecart but read it was the pretty much the best way for novices to proceed in regards to online stores. I contacted my current domain supplier (streamline.net) and said the power user package was what i needed. I have since obtained power user and setup cube cart 3.0.17 on my server. The shop loads ok but when i log into the admin side of the shop i immediatley get the following:

Warning: main(/shop/classes/db.inc.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in e:\domains\s\sahara-ci.co.uk\user\htdocs\shop\admin\includes\auth.inc.php on line 59

being a novice i dont know how to resolve this. Do i need to reinstall cube cart again to correct this? Any help would be appreciated.

Kind Regards

Why everyone insists on using these "too cheap to be true" hosts is beyond me but try uploading everything again, doing it directory by directory with the exception of /install and /includes/global.inc.php and then make sure permissions are set correctly. If you have something like Fantastico then you could try the one click install method.

Ok, it seems you have a Windows hosting account. There are a few things different that you must do with regards to the /includes/global.inc.php file:

$glob['rootDir'] = 'e:\\\\domains\\\\s\\\\sahara-ci.co.uk\\\\user\\\\htdocs\\\\shop';
$glob['rootRel'] = '/shop/';
$glob['storeURL'] = 'http://www.sahara-ci.co.uk/shop';

Take note that for Windows systems, the path from Root (a drive letter) to your store involves backslashes. For each backslash, you need four backslashes (that's just how it works).

Sorry posted in wrong section - will repost in correct section

Maybe something to consider for the install procedure ???
A choice of server type on the install info step ??
Just a thought
