Please also replace the index.php file.

many thanks for your help.

[Upgrading V4.3 to V6]

Rather than rush this, why not simply replace the admin.php file from the 4.4.8 release.

Ian

hi Ian - just to confirm - are you saying all i have to do is just replace the admin.php from v 4.8.0 to my v 4.3.0 - no other files?

many thanks

[Upgrading V4.3 to V6]

hi - due to the approaching december deadline i'm about to attempt a v4 to v6 upgrade with some trepidation

an extract of the upgrade instructions say:-

1. Take a FULL backup of your existing files and database and check that it is complete. This is critical in case the upgrade process fails or there is an error.
    
2. Please delete all existing folders and files excluding;
    images/ 
   includes/global.inc.php
    
3. Download and extract the latest version of CubeCart v6 and upload the entire contents of this folder over the remaining files  replacing all existing ones.

edit: please excuse my original question.

what is confusing me is instruction 3) above ie if images/  & includes/global.inc.php are the only two remaining will they not be over written?

many thanks

[Does Zend Guard support CC 4.3.0 ?]

Please look at the contents of /includes/global.inc.php and let us know the value of:

$glob['encoder'] = 'something';

If the value says 'zend', then that may be the reason why CubeCart is still asking for Zend.

 

Try changing the value to 'ioncube'.

 

thanks again - finally got the issue resolved - will post later if you think its worthwhile? - about to go out.

[Does Zend Guard support CC 4.3.0 ?]

I have no response regarding the use of Zend. But allow me to suggest ionCube,

 

However, I don't know which ionCube "encoder" version was used to encode the *_enc_ion.php files for CC4.3. (I wish there was a way by looking at the encoded files. ionCube still makes available legacy loaders.)

 

thanks for your reply - what i've now done is install wampserver 2.0c (php 5.2.6) which means i can use "zend optimizer" .

 

the problem is although i installed it years ago on my wamp i now can't remember how & can find no instructions on how to.

 

i've already installed ioncube but its still displaying the "zend optimizer required" page when i try my shops homepage.

 

if anyone knows how to install the "zend optimizer" i would be greatly obliged.

[Does Zend Guard support CC 4.3.0 ?]

The "Duh" comment was towards myself as I was typing as I was thinking and couldn't figure out what WS was.. then I saw it further down your post. I wasn't meaning to come across rude in anyway.

apologies for my misunderstanding.

[Does Zend Guard support CC 4.3.0 ?]

What's WS 2.1? 

 

Duh.. Wamp Server...

 

 

 

thanks for you reply  but why the inclusion of the above? - rather petty.

 

others may find the following useful - i apologize for any info already stated in my original post.

 

i purchased a licenced version of CC 4.3.0 (sorry, Cubecart 4.3.0) a few years ago & had it working with WS (wampserver) from that time also.

 

however WS stopped working a few weeks ago.

 

i tried various fixes but eventually installed WS 2.0j & also my CC to the point where it required zend extensions.

 

my original version of WS used "zend optimizer" however the new version with php 5.3.3 (according to various sources) will load neither zend optimizer" or zend guard loader" successfully since both are NTS (non thread safety) & "thread safety" is enabled in php & apparently cannot be disabiled.

 

if anyone can add further i would be obliged.

 

.

[Does Zend Guard support CC 4.3.0 ?]

hi - this is a new post relating to my attempts to install my cc 4.3.0 on wamp.

 

i tried to install it on WS2.1 but was pestered with errors.

 

i decided to install an older version of WS (wampserver 2.0/2.0i)) & "successfully" completed the install steps.

however when i tried to access the shops homepage i received instead a page referring to a zend requirement.

 

now the problem is that WS 2.0 has php 5.3.3 & will not (i believe) work with zend optimizer only zend guard.

 

therefore can anyone please tell me if my CC 4.3.0 is compatible with zend guard?

 

thanks.

[Installation of CC4.3 on Wampserver giving step 4 blank page.]

ioncube loader confirmed by phpinfo().

 

php error file was not available when requested & was instructed to create a new one.

 

the new php error file itself only shows a blank page.

[Installation of CC4.3 on Wampserver giving step 4 blank page.]

hi - i originally (some years ago) had my CC4.3 installed on wampserver 2.0.(WS2.0)

 

however WS2.0 stopped working recently & i had to upgrade to WS2.1.

 

after some issues i finally got it to work & i'm now trying without much success to install my CC4.3.

 

i've created a new global.inc.php file & also a db = cc4 & user = cc4 (with all permissions) in phpmyadmin.

 

the CC4.3 files are in a folder cubecart430 & placed in the www directory of WS.

 

in WS i initiated the CC4.3 install with localhost/cubecart439/setup/install - all proceeds well until i go from step 3 (input of db & admin info ect) to step 4 (permissions) whereupon i get a blank page.

 

can anyone please help?

[Changed Domain Name - Cannot Login To Admin]

hi - i just changed the domain name  of my CC4 website. now i can't login to admin.

 

when i first tried to get to the admin login page using www..newdomain.com/admin.php i got an server error page suggesting that i should go to cp.cubecart.com & there unlock the licence key then return to the error page & delete some 'key' file using a 'delete link' in order for a reset to occur after again reloading  www.newdomain.com/admin.php

 

i can now obtain the usual admin login page but when i enter my username & password a parking page headed with my 'old domain name' appears.

 

any help kindly appreciated.

[Removal of "tell a friend"]

I have come to learn that everything in the language folders simply sets up arrays. There is no decision code and no code that actually generates a output or performs a function. Each language folder is set up in such a way as to make programming easier, for example:

$a = $_GET('tellafriend');

getLang($a);

getFunc($a);

getTemplate($a);

getMain($a);

where getMain brings in and executes the one and only file that actually does anything.

Also, I have come to learn that CC4 affords the admin to make changes to the language array, but then the changes are stored in the database.

So, manually removing a language file (regardless of the file's filename and what it implies) is not the proper solution. And if that language was databased, it wouldn't have any effect anyway.

You may inform your host that everything in the /language/ folder is inert.

hi bsmithe - many thanks for your reply - unfortunately my host was insistent about removing/modifying the lang/taf files so i just renamed them (all) as jason previously suggested as a possible temporary solution - i have found no "apparent problems" on testing - however will change back. shortly as i appreciate what you are saying.

cheryl

[Removal of "tell a friend"]

HI Cheryl,

the files under the language folder are used for language translation only. There is no "active" code in the file that could be used to send emails.

You can try to rename one of the files - if you're not using other languages I don't see a problem, but suspect you may seen an error if you delete/rename a file that is required for the langage you're using.

So - rename /langauge/en/includes/content/tellafriend.inc.php to tellafriend.old.inc.php

Surf the store- if all looks ok, you can probably safely remove it. I'm not sure how the file is used (ie how it is included) in the main code.

If you rename and there are errors, you can very quickly restore it, and post back with the error.

Jason

hi jason - i will rename as you suggested & see what happens - once again thank you.

[Removal of "tell a friend"]

hi

i have deleted the " /includes/contenttellafriend.inc.php" and edited the " /viewProd.tpl " file to remove the link.

i thought that was it but my host informs me there are several "tellafriend.inc.php" files in " /language/ " and they what them sorted.

for example " /language/de/includes/content/tellafriend.inc.php ".

does anyone know if it is ok to delete each of the " tellafriend.inc.php " files for each language ?

any help would be kindly appreciated.

cheryl.

[Cannot delete tellafriend..inc.php - please help]

That is so bizarre. If, having logged into your hosted space as the prime account holder and thus have - by definition - sufficient privileges to change file CHMOD settings, add, move, delete, and rename files and folders, not being able to do so, then your host has some 'splainin' to do.

Ask your host what they see as the problem you are having deleting a file.

thanks for your reply - i also tried using the hostgator "file manger" but similar occurred ie tried to change permissions from 000 to 644 & delete etc but failed - as it stands the 000 permissions have me totally blocked & i cannot doanything with tellafriend.inc.php.

cheryl

[Cannot delete tellafriend..inc.php - please help]

hi - i just tried to delete, as instructed by jason in a previous thread, the file tellafriend.inc.php in /includes/content/ but i cannot.

the permissions on the file are set to 00 instead of 0644 & when i try to change permissions or even rename etc i am not allowed.

i am using filezilla

sorry about starting a new thread but i urgently need help as my host is about to close my account. due to the spamming hack.

cheryl

[Removal of "tell a friend"]

hi - my host has informed me that my cc4 has been exploited for email spamming.

i enabled "spam/bot flood control" but the problem still persists.

they have now informed that i should eliminate the "tell a friend" option but i have no idea how to do this.

if anyone would be kind enough to tell me "how to" i would really appreciated it as my host is threatening to close my account.

many thanks

cheryl.

Hi Cheryl,

first step;

Delete;

/www/includes/content/tellafriend.inc.php

This is the actual script that sends the email.

Then you need to remove the link from your template (so people don't click it!);

Edit;

/www/skins/yourtemplatename/styleTemplates/content/viewProd.tpl

Remove the following line;

<li class="bulletLrg"><a href="index.php?_a=tellafriend&amp;productId={PRODUCT_ID}" target="_self" class="txtDefault">{LANG_TELLFRIEND}</a></li>

As always, run a full account backup before you do anything!

I hope this helps,

Jason

[CC4 on local server login error]

hi - i recently posted regarding installation probs of CC4.3.0 on wampserver2.

i eventually got it installed but cannot access store admin - ie the following (edited down) is displayed

"Software License Error #6

Server host name doesn't match value in includes/extra/key.php file......"

is there any work around for this using my original licence "keys" or do i need to buy another set (installation + copyright removal) to run it locally for testing?

please help.

[Customising skins on a personal server?]

This function has been DEPRECATED as of PHP 5.3.0.

Update your version of CubeCart 4 to the latest version? (4.4.1)

This function is not in the latest version of cubecart.

Jason

thx - tried latest ver - now wampserver wants "zend optimizer" before it displays CC.

[Customising skins on a personal server?]

hi - i purchased CC a while back but was unhappy with the skins.

i had to purchase a skin but in the mean time i have been learning about the skin file structure etc for (extensive) customising.

however when i tried to install the "upload files" on wampserver i got the following after supplying the database user info:-

"Deprecated: Function set_magic_quotes_runtime() is deprecated in C:\wamp\www\cubecart\ini.inc.php on line 108"

does anyone know if the above is due to CC only allowing one installation per server??

any help regarding kindly appreciated.

[CC4 on WampServer Problem]

hi - i have installed my CC4 files ok on WampServer but i'm having probs with the actual cubecart setup routine.

i've entered the original installation key & all the other usual database name & admin fields but at the end of the procedure i get:-

Deprecated: Function set_magic_quotes_runtime() is deprecated in C:\wamp\www\cubecart\ini.inc.php on line 108

any help appreciated,

[How to use Dreamweaver?]

No Cheryl,,, there is no trick,,, basically it all needs to be localised and secondly it uses php language.

You can however kind of see where you're at using dreamweaver,,, and i use this quite often.... but you do need to have good html / css to be able to put the designs together.

FC thanks for your reply - i realised the localised situation bit but a few guys in the forum seemed to imply it could "loosely" be done.

thanks again for the confirmation.

cheryl.

[How to use Dreamweaver?]

no you cannot ;-)

I use dreamweaver for all of our designs.... but simply more as a notepad. Once you understand css and html and know how to write it, you really don't need to use DW.

andrea - thanks for clarifying that - you've saved me a lot of time - a few told me there was "a trick" & i could (ie display with styles) - however i couldn't quite see how.

cheryl.

[How to use Dreamweaver?]

i've been using Firebug / Notepad to change the css & tpl files of my Kitablue skin.

i would like to use Dreamweaver but can find no documentation or tutorials regarding its implementation with respect to the overall modification of a CC4 skin.

my question - is it possible, in DW, to display a template say the index.tpl complete with its applied css styles etc.

i have experimented but cannot make the above happen.

i have my CC4 installation on Wampserver for local testing.
