| I just fired up osCMAX for the first time the other day. I've used osC for a number of years, even wrote one of the mods used in MAX (USPS Methods). I was disappointed to say the least, when my brand new install seemed broken in all sorts of places. When logging in (why can't we put the default admin login info on the last step of the installation script?), my store asked me to "Choose an action...", but there were no actions to choose from. Then I tried manually creating an account and got PHP errors. This seemed odd in a supposedly production-ready suite. I certainly hadn't had any of these problems with the stock osC. When I was troubleshooting the issue with create_account.php, I noticed parts of the script were using the short PHP open tag: '<?' instead of '<?PHP' to start a code block. I fixed those and the script worked. I figured that if that page was published with the short open tag, then there's probably a ton of other pages with the same problem. I turned on short_open_tag in php.ini and everything works fine now. short_open_tag is OFF by default in a standard php install. Why is osCMAX using them? |

| The default admin password has always been and will always be: email: admin@localhost.com pw: admin This is explained in the README file included in the download. The default administrator account has full privileges, and if you login using it, there is not an issue. Regarding the short open tag, no reason for this other than the original coders of the mods in question used them. We have not done a lot of housecleaning in the code yet, but it is on the list of things to do. osCMax 2 is still a RC release, so there are a few issues like this that will be fixed when it is out of RC. The other reason (I know not a good one, but I am being honest) is that nobody else in the several years of osCMax being available has ever once posted about it. I bet that it has caused more than one headache though. I did a quick search through the codebase, and found 43 instances of the short open tag in 13 of osCMax's files. A good text editor can replace all of them in a few seconds, if you don't want to wait for the next release of osCMax.
