Directories (admin/catalog etc.) do not exist ?

**mmkay** · 02-27-2003, 02:46 AM

Hi, 2 years ago I used to work with an older version of TEP, don't know wich one exactly, but it didn't come with the smooth layout (eg. rounded box headers etc.)

Now i want to try out the most recent version and it's new look/feel. But I got stuck already when i downloaded and unzipped [oscommerce-2.2ms1.zip]. This file doesn't contain any directory ... huh

I read the 'Installation Instructions' on OSCdox and it clearly says "Upload the /catalog and /admin dirs to your server". Well i know how to create and upload dir's but i don't think that's the way it should be done... I can remember the old TEP came with these dir's in the .zip file.

I looked around in the FAQ and the fora but couldn't find an answer.
So call me stupid, i don't know anymore

I would try and download it again.

when you unzip there should be the admin, catalog directories.

you might have gotten a corrupted zip file.

a bit busy lately so couldn't reply earlier ...

I downloaded the .zip file again from several locations and the same problem occured with every download.

I downloaded this files via:
http://www.oscommerce.com/downloads/milestones

(didn't use 'Authenticity' and stuff like that because i don't know how to use it.)

Can somebody please check this out for me and provide a link to a correct OSCommerce 2.2 milestone 1 .zip file ? Thanx!

Those are the correct links mmkay. Disable any download managers that you are using. That should help.

I'm not using a download manager other than the standard winXP file downloader ...

Maybe someone would be so kind to mirror this zip file ? it's only 1,5MB

maybe OSCdox can offer some space

Thanx in advance!

hmm .. same prob

check it out, it's Winzip what causes the problem ..
Now I unzipped with WinRAR and it seemes to be OK with the directory's and all... weird huh

Thanx allot after all, yet we learned another lesson, don't trust your (win)zip program

Get the newest version of winzip... I bet that is the problem for ya... That would have been the first thing I checked. For some reason, people never believe that it could be a problem with their computer or software.

I am not baggin' on ya, just making an observation. I can't count how many times someone has said, your download is corrupt, there is a problem with your site, without them ever checking to see if they had the right version to read the download...

I especially love the netcatpe 4 users complaining that something on this site doesn't work in their browser... I mean Netscape 4 is a relic that should be in the Smithsonian. For the sake of all that is good, upgrade to NS7.1 - Its free dammit!
