MileStone 2a update for osCMax RC3!

[kblocksom]

I downloaded osCMax2.RC3.0.2 about a week ago and as far as I know it works fine. Is this MileStone 2a update for osCMax RC3 necessary to update after this particular version.

Thanks

I updated this and now I get errors all over the place. Is there something that I missed. I ran the install file 3 times and has yet to let me back into the admin.

Thanks

I would read the instruction carefully. This only works on the specific version od oscmax and it is perfered to be a clean/new install. Make sure the DB is blank. There is a chance your information you inputed may not be correct. As for the ADMIN - there is no default user name/pass - you create this on install - if you forget it you have to re-install it.

Please specify what EXACT errors your getting and where. I know it works!

And no - it is not "required" - as most of it is already built into the RC4-SVN version. It is a good stop gap between RC3 and the beta SVN untill the SVN released as RC4.

Hi!

I am using this particular version u have supplied of oscmax for the first time with godaddy, and I seem to be having a few small errors. I have gotten everything installed properly as well as the admin working correctly. However I seem to have an error in the way my catalog is displaying.

If you could take a look at this link I would really appreciate it.

mygrafx.com : Welcome to AABox.com's osCMax v2.0 - change this in /english/index.php

My hunch is that I forgot to replace a particular file in here with your update, or a file is missing. However I don't really know where to start looking.

Thanks so much for your time.

Please explain your issue or problem or error.

If it is your hunch - then check file were updated (see the installation directions). Make sure all files are uploaded to your server.

Sorry for the uninformative post... and thanks for your reply.

Part of the reason I am a little confused is because the error I am getting doesn't stop the page from being displayed. Usually when I get errors with oscmax I only see the type of error displayed at the top of the page. It will also direct me to a line number in a particular file, which is helpful.

However in this instance the index.php in the catalog, and all the pages in the catalog actually, are displaying mostly, with some code displaying on the right side. This code is:

1054 - Unknown column 'a.authors_id' in 'on clause'

select a.articles_id from articles a, articles_to_topics a2t left join topics_description td on a2t.topics_id = td.topics_id left join authors au on a.authors_id = au.authors_id, articles_description ad where (a.articles_date_available IS NULL or to_days(a.articles_date_available) <= to_days(now())) and a.articles_id = a2t.articles_id and a.articles_status = '1' and a.articles_id = ad.articles_id and ad.language_id = '1' and td.language_id = '1'

[TEP STOP]

The reason I was thinking the cause of this error was due to not having the proper files on the server is because the process of updating RC3 to this new version was a learning experience for me, and I didn't always use the best practices at first.

Obviously I wouldn't ask you to fix this error for me, I understand you are busy people with work of your own to do. However, if you could possibly point me in the right direction that would be very helpful. Is your guess that something is wrong with the template? Do you think it's a missing file or the wrong file? Maybe it's the godaddy hosting which I have already been struggling with.

Also, I am using mysql 5 and php 5 on godaddy.

Thanks so much for your time.

To update:

I have checked to make sure all files were uploaded to catalog correctly, and what I have on the server matches the RC3 download on this site plus the changed files outlined in your update. I re-uploaded everything to the site, deleted then reinstalled the database, and then installed oscmax on the server. Site is working good except for I am still getting the same error on the right column of the page.

I also tried the fix described here: Error #1054 caused by MySQL 5.0?

to fix a 1054 error in RC2. That didn't solve the problem either.

Do you think the site might work better in mysql 4?

Thanks again for any help.

I would really suggest to you to download the SVN-RC4 beta version. It is full compatible with many updates.

See working link below....

Ok will do.

Thanks for your time.
