apache not detected

[hackers1955]

Running IIS 6 and also have apache installed in the windows environment but install script doesn't detect that apache is running. Have a client wanting to run Bosscart so need to try and resolve this asap

Thanks

Hello Bryn, i have the strong guess that you tried to install the 1.6 version. Unfortunately we can't support that version anymore. Feel free to suggest the newest BossCart version for your client to use. This version requires enabled mod_rewrite, but it won't stop the install process. You may want to download the install package from here.
Thanks.

Yes it is V1.6, unable to download from the link that you gave me. I do not have the correct permissions.

Thanks

After a few problems managed to get this sorted out. the bosscart.sql in your zip file didn't install properly but there was another bosscart.sql in scripts\installation\sql. This has a line error where the bc_redirection table is created insert into should read INSERT INTO `bc_redirection` VALUES(384, 119, 0, 'sitemap', 'index.php?option=com_xmap&lang=en&sitemap=1', '2007-10-08');

not

INSERT INTO `jos_redirection` VALUES(384, 119, 0, 'sitemap', 'index.php?option=com_xmap&lang=en&sitemap=1', '2007-10-08');

This caused the import to fall over intially but once the line was corected it worked OK

The only issue I have now is that the shopping cart has been installed at the root of the url (shop.pfs-uk.co.uk) and although the default page is set to index.php it comes up with a page not displayed and tries to find a path shop.pfs-uk.co.uk/bc.

Probably something in the confiuration script but would help if you caould point me in the right direction

Thanks

Hi Bryn, i think i need to check the database and the configuration.php file as well. Please, send me the ftp and the admin login details via email bagi(at)bosscart.com.
Otherwise the URL shop.pfs-uk.co.uk/bc came up since the script need to check if the cookie has been found on your pc, which identify you as a customer. Search engines doesn't index this URL.
Thanks!

Bryn i found something that may cause the error. The .htaccess.txt file was not renamed to .htaccess deleting its file extension.
Thanks

[FONT='Verdana','sans-serif']Although I had not deleted .htaccess.txt I had created the new file which was in the root directory as .htaccess[/font]

[FONT='Verdana','sans-serif']I have now deleted .htaccess.txt but it has made no difference. Have emailed you ftp and database access details[/font]

[FONT='Verdana','sans-serif']I have to say that the product looks very good and your support is brilliant.[/font]

Thank you Bryn for the kind words. I had some free minutes so i had a quick look at your script. The database seems to be fine the problem seems to be the lack of mod_rewrite. Although you said that the Apache is emulated somehow i tried to test the mod rewrite with a simple htaccess redirection code and the site didn't respond. For optimal performance the script need to have mod_rewrite enabled, but there is a different option of providing search engine friendly URl, but it requires the admin login.

I suggest you to try to enabled the mod_rewrite as first step and if it fails we will step further.
Thanks

getting a bit out of my depth now as a Microsoft person. The webserver software and control panel is Cube Panel and I can see mod_rewrite listed in the modules directory but not sure how to tell if it is enabled or not or if it isn't how to enable it. Have emailed the support team at biztology so will let you know how I get on.

Thanks
