Zen Cart Deployment

I'm working on installing Zen Cart on the server. I need a few things configured to work with my Zen Cart install.
  • cURL support to be on
  • gzip
It made mention of PHP open_basedir restrictions and gave me the following path (although not quite sure why it was giving me this or why I need it):
/home/mydomain:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp


PHP Session.Save_Path is unknown.

It's not stopping me from installing things but I do know that not having cURL will stop me from hooking it up to Authorize.net

Hi Tony, are you using php4 or 5?  Can you confirm with a phpinfo() page that cURL is enabled?  

Also, PHP open_basedir restrictions should only prevent you from running scripts that don't belong to you - when during the install exactly did you see this warning?

I'm using PHP 5.2 and cURL doesn't even show up in my phpinfo() page. So that means it's probably not installed.

open_basedir shows the yellow text at the configuration screen when installing. It's the screen that lets you know if Zen Cart can write to directories and gives you the overview if your system is ready for the zen cart configuration/install.

Hi there - please give cURL a try now (we just got it installed on your server)

also is open_basedir causing a fatal problem - or is it just a warning?  If a problem, what are the exact steps you are doing so we can repeat it and diagnose...

Cheers,

yup cURL is up and running. And the open_basedir is just a warning not an error.

I'm getting a similar failure on the spellchecker built into wordpress. Loaded wp by hand, did't see the Fantastico version until later. Like to run the latest.gz anyway.
Is there a quick fix not having access to php.ini?

Sure you can use your own php.ini

Google around for how to do this - here's one example. http://www.kics.bc.ca/faq/phpini.html

So this is more of a SSL pointed question. I'm not sure if this is because of the DNS settings or the code of Zen Cart but whenever I type in https://glo-techinc.com/store it will redirect me to https://www.glo-techinc.com/store

I've looked high and low in the Zen Cart code to see where it might be redirecting me and adding the "www." to the address and I can't find it. The problem is that my certificate is set for "glo-techinc.com" and not "www.glo-techinc.com"

Am I missing anything within the Zen Cart code? I looked at the configuration file and it has the https define variables set as "https://glo-techinc.com"

Hello Tony,

This issue must be resolved by now. In case you have further concerns, please do let the support team know. They can make a few changes in the web server configuration entries for your domain and fix it.

That is so crazy cause it just resolved itself. I don't know how that happened but it did.
