quickstart - virtuemart

don't forget to change the following file manualy otherwise virtuemart will not work, and you'll always be redirected to gavick demo if you want to change something in the backend....

virtuemart.cfg.php
you find in root/administrator/components/com_virtuemart/...

search for, and replace with your domain

Code: Select all

// these path and url definitions here are based on the Joomla! Configuration

define( 'URL', 'http://demo.gavick.com/joomla15/may2010/' );

define( 'SECUREURL', 'http://demo.gavick.com/joomla15/may2010/' );

Hi

This is already post here (sticky post), but thank you for best intention.

Cheers

I'm getting this error after changing the virtuemart.cfg.php file. Also Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_EXIT in /home/content/h/o/u/hostusername/html/mystore/administrator/components/com_virtuemart/virtuemart.cfg.php on line 1

That means your changes were not done correctly.
Probably, it miss some other syntax separating between line.

Can you paste here the change done?

I made the changes as instructed, replaced the URL and Secure URL with the sites url
as follows http://www.mysite.com/mystore/

Below it states that they have to match the joomla configuration but according to my config file , live_site is not defined

Please send me admin and FTP access to paulo[at]gavick[dot]com

Hi again

It's fix now.

By the way, take note of this important issue. It will bring security problems on your website. I found wrong files permissions on your website and this is related with your host configuration.

Your permissions:
Directories: 705
Files: 705

Correct permissions:
Directories: 755
Files: 644

(you can change them manually, like i already did on some)

Also, VM link must be available on mainmenu to display products on mainbody (i already set it, but you can arrange in different way - by categories for example).

Cheers

Hi I have just downloaded and installed the quickstart for the mystore template. It looks great. I am trying to get VM to work. I replaced the administrator/components/com_virtuemart/virtuemart.cfg

define( 'URL', 'http://project.gavick.com/dziudek/may2010/' );

define( 'SECUREURL', 'http://project.gavick.com/dziudek/may2010/' );

with my URL

define( 'URL', 'http://www.acoffeesnob.com' );

define( 'SECUREURL', 'http://www.acoffeesnob.com' );

VM now is all it a text format with now formating. Do I have the pathing correct? When I click on the links it gives me 404 errors.

I appreciate your help.

It is fixed now. I just forgot to add the "/" after my URL.

Thanks,
