New install Can't get into Admin

[Guest]

Hi,

I have uploaded version 3v17 today and everything seems OK EXCEPT I cannot get into Admin.

I have used http://mamod.modelenthusiasts.com for the store (obviously a subdomain of another site) which is fine.

However, using http://mamod.modelenthusiasts.com /admin which is instructed on the Cube Cart installation last page (Step 5) I get a HTTP 404 Page Not Found. I am expecting to see an entry page with user name and password required.

Take a look yourself.

This does seem a really easy question but so far it has stumped me!

Thank you.

Please tell us the entries you made for the settings (in /includes/global.inc.php).

They should be something like:

$glob['rootDir'] = '/dir/dir/dir/yourspace/htdocs';   // <- no trailing slash!

$glob['rootRel'] = '/';  // <- Single slash for the root directory of your web space.

$glob['storeURL'] = 'http://mamod.modelenthusiasts.com';  // <- no trailing slash!

Thank you. I am not fluent in anything you wrote - yet. All I did was to upload all of the installation files to my server putting them in a new subdomain created for this purpose.

Then, placing that new full URL into the address line I was directed to the Cube cart installation wizard which ended up saying all of the files are installed successfully and that to get the store to function i needed to delete the install directory which I did.

I don't understand any of your code etc, etc. But I will and I want to!

Cheers.

OK, so you FTP'd all your files to your space. Use that same FTP program to look for and download a copy of that file I mentioned. Open that file in a text editor. Tell what you see for the lines I mentioned.

Oh, a (not really so) common mistake is that noobie installers upload the actual UPLOAD folder (as seen in the extracted archive downloaded from CubeCart.com) to their site. The instructions say to upload the CONTENTS of the upload folder.

<?php

$glob['dbdatabase'] = 'modelone_cubecart1';

$glob['dbhost'] = 'localhost';

$glob['dbpassword'] = 'xxxxxx123456';

$glob['dbprefix'] = '';

$glob['dbusername'] = 'xxxxxxxx_abcdef';

$glob['installed'] = '1';

$glob['rootDir'] = '/home/modelone/public_html/mamod';

$glob['rootRel'] = '/mamod/';

$glob['storeURL'] = 'http://mamod.modelenthusiasts.com';

Well, 'mamod' seems to be the real root of the store, so, rootRel is just '/'.

See if changing that variable makes any difference. FTP that file, once edited, back to your store.

Yes, that worked fine.

Has anyone ever produced a comprehensive Cubecart tutorial(s)?

Cheers. See you again i expect.

A group of kind souls are working on a documentation project over at CubeCartForums.org.

There are the installation instructions at:
