Looking for Merchant OrderForm

**jalin** · 01-22-2011, 11:54 PM

Found it! Didn't catch the common.conf path stuff on the first go through

**jalin** · 01-23-2011, 12:50 AM

Ok, I thought I had everything working, and the cart/checkout is doing fine after the .conf file updates.

The last problem I have is that I can't log in to the MOF admin. It gives me a 500 Internal Server Error but I don't see anything in the cgi error logs. Is there anything related to changing the install path of this script that could cause a server error when trying to log in to the admin at

/admin/mofcc.cgi

or

/admin/uadmin.cgi

I figured out that the problem was the absolute path, I think the host changed the site location on the server or something like that. I have all the absolute paths updated to the new ones, and I'm almost there, except for these errors in troubleshooting mode:

Does anyone know where do I update the path to the empty cart and number file so they are correct? I searched the entire directory for references to the old path, but I can't find any. Maybe there's a config file or admin setting I don't know about?

Thanks

Here's an extract from a functioning /cgi-bin/mcart/common.conf file.
You don`t say whether you're operating under ssl

But I have had to change some paths on some installtions to accommodate different server mappings.

Maybe this will give you a steer - if not we may need to examine the /cgi-bin/mcart/lib/mof.conf file.

$merchant_phone = '00000000';

$merchant_fax = '';



# may set multiple addr in @mail_merchant_addr

@mail_merchant_addr = ('youremail@address.com');



$mail_return_addr = 'youremail@address.com';



$mail_site_url = 'http://www.yourwebsite.com';



# mail to addr for problems

$merchantmail = 'youremail@address.com';





# This is an HTTP only, where HTTP is needed in pkg, even if

# absolute server path to ../cgi-bin/mcart

Thanks for posting that config file, it looks pretty similar to what is in my common.conf file which is located in /cgi-bin/mcart/common.conf

There are some funky differences, it looks like the person who set this up used the subdomain on the host instead of the actual domain in some spots. I tried to make it more like the sample you posted and there were https warnings.

Anyway, what is posted below is working for the cart right now. People can check out. The only problem is we can't log in to the admin, there is a server error. It's probably a path issue somewhere that I can't find.

This looks about right, and yes it could be a path issue, but you seem to have worked out where the path settings are set and may spot something peculiar to your server setup (which can be a bit strange with some of the more paranoid hosts) - servers used to be a lot more standardised when this app was written as I recall.

I'll have a think about other reasons why your'e getting the server errors, but don`t discount the possibility that someone has "incorrectly" modified one of the cgi files locally for some reason - which unless they documented the changes would be very difficult to spot. You know the sort of thing missing syntax etc..

If you suspect this may be the case it may be worth replacing certain files from /cgi-bin/mcart/copy - if only to eliminate the possibility of rogue .cgi files.

That's a really good suggestion and unfortunately there is no backup and no installation files anymore.

It probably would be easiest to just reinstall the core files but I can't find a 2.5 install package anywhere.

**contentd** · 01-25-2011, 02:14 PM

For an install package - Check the link in post #38 of this thread - but not for about an hour from the time of this post as I'll need to reactivate it...
