New Installation w/error

**bassmanb** · 12-22-2004, 08:39 AM

Hello everyone. I am completely unexperienced with PHP/MySQL etc... I have a website setup for paintball which includes the OSCommerce installation. I recently have decided to actually get into setting the online store up and adding product to it and I came acros MS2-MAX (for its features etc...)

I downloaded the MS2 zip file and got it uploaded to my /html directory which is on simplicity hosting.com The installation seems to go fine and I can login to the Admin control panel but when I try to access the catalog I receive the following error message:

Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: messagestack in /usr/web/fspaintball.com/html/catalog/includes/application_top.php on line 509

I really appreciate any assistance anyone can offer.

Thanks,
Chris B.

it's calling a class , the file that holds this class is probably corrupt or missing from the files you uploaded. I would reupload all the files and try it out.

look on line 509 of application_top.php to see which class its calling and replace just the neccessary files, might be quicker than re-uploading the whole installation.

I got it. I ended up having to use Coffee Cup FTP to get it to upload the files properly. (Filezilla kept giving me fits, not uploading files, logging off, timeouts, etc) Everything seems good now. Thanks.
