Button images not showing up after install

[Marko]

Hi,
I have installed oscommerce everything is working fine except the button images are not showing up in the catalog. I checked the source code for the "What's in my cart page' and OSCommerce is looking for the button images at this location.


src="includes/languages/english/images/buttons/button_update_cart.gif"

I checked this location and the images are there. I also checked that the images were not corrupt. All other images on the site such as products etc are showing up fine. However, all button images are not showing up.


When I did a search for the images I found this as the path,

C:\phpdev\www\catalog\includes\languages\english\i mages\buttons


There is obviously a difference here but does it matter that the path in the source is missing the "\catalog\" part of the path? Could this be the problem?



Any ideas on how I might fix this? Or a pointer on further steps would be great.



Thanks

Marko

Hi,

Did you check your path in the includes/configure.php file?

[Marko]

Hi,
The only thing that I can see in the configure.php that seems to have somthing to do with images is


define('DIR_WS_IMAGES', 'images/');

and

define('DIR_WS_ICONS', DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'icons/');

Hey Marko,

Great to see you're here.

My relevant configure.php info is

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://localhost'); // eg, http://localhost - should not be NULL for productive servers
define('ENABLE_SSL', false); // secure webserver for checkout procedure?
define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/LoadedV4/Dev/catalog/'); // absolute path required
define('DIR_WS_IMAGES', 'images/');
define('DIR_WS_ICONS', DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'icons/');
define('DIR_WS_INCLUDES', 'includes/'); // If "URL fopen wrappers" are enabled in PHP (which they are in the default configuration), this can be a URL instead of a local pathname
define('DIR_WS_BOXES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'boxes/');
define('DIR_WS_FUNCTIONS', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'functions/');
define('DIR_WS_CLASSES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'classes/');
define('DIR_WS_MODULES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'modules/');
define('DIR_WS_LANGUAGES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'languages/');

I hope this helps...

Even though this is 10 months late, I'll chime in anyway in case anyone else runs into this problem again. I too was missing button images. Turns out permissions were set incorrectly on the includes/languages/images/buttons folder. It only worked after I set to read for all. I think most of my problems originated from the fact that I had to install by hand as the auto routine just would not cooperate. It's getting there however.

I have this problm with all the buttons and icon.gif not showing up. I tried changing permissions too. What's the proper permission command?

I tried chmod 777 buttons. Is this correct?

Remember to chmod the DIRECTORY also!
