Link in documentation links to porn site

Gmex — Fri, 14 Oct 2005 17:48:07 -0000

The links to www.zelerate.org in the System
Administrators Guide link to a porn site.

And if you change it to ".com" instead ".org" it links
to a ecommerce marketing site.

This is almost leading me to question the credibility
of this package.

syntax of CREATEDB in lib/configure.pm

Paweł Sadowski — Thu, 12 Feb 2004 15:34:57 -0000

I'am instaling osallcomerce ver.1.2.3,with PostgreSQL
version 7.4.
I think the line
`createdb -p $port -h $servername create $dbname`
in lib/configure.pl should be like this:
`createdb -p $port -h $servername $dbname`

the syntax of CREATEDB command is:
createdb [OPTION]... [DBNAME] [DESCRIPTION]

there is no additional action "create".

best regards

Improper handling of blank 'sid' field (patch included)

J Phelps — Tue, 17 Sep 2002 02:24:56 -0000

When scripts in OS AllCommerce use the &check_login
function from login.pm, and they are not called with
the "sid" CGI parameter, they end up generating and
trying to use the query:

SELECT browser,custid,mdate FROM sessions WHERE sid=

This causes an error, which OS AllCommerce's
&query_getAll function fails to detect, because at line
1169 of db_layer.pm, it runs DBI::execute without
checking the return value (the RV is stored in $check,
but never actually checked). If an error occurs, it
won't be caught until line 1172, where
DBI::fetchrow_hashref is used, resulting in a cryptic
error message "fetch without execute".

To fix the bugs, apply the attached patch files. The
patch against login.pm.diff causes &check_login to
check if 'sid' is defined in %{$site} at line 106, the
same place where it checks if $site->{'sid'} is
"nonzero" (or more accurately, not less than zero... is
this another bug, or is the comment wrong?). The error
if $site{'sid'} is not defined is the same as if it was
less than zero.

The patch against db_layer.pm causes query_getAll to
die if $check is not defined after the call to
DBI::execute on line 1169. The result is still a "500
Internal Server Error" if DBI::execute fails, but the
error message in the log file will be more useful in
finding the cause of the problem.

Can't call method "prepare"

Kurt Fleischmann — Sun, 11 Aug 2002 20:31:21 -0000

using configure.pl stops at line 1333

Can't call method "prepare" on an undefined value
at ./lib/configure.pm line 1333.

Says, "creating tables" - but not one table is created;
database itself yes, but no table.

Sitepm.Dir file not found

Faust — Sun, 24 Mar 2002 22:56:44 -0000

When running ./configure.pl i get a message ,
"Sitepm.Dir file not found - Program HALTED"
There is no file with this name in the package
(os_allcommerce-1.2.3-200103022212.tar.gz ).

SQL error from content mgr

Karthik Kannappan — Wed, 08 Aug 2001 01:58:27 -0000

I have installed AllCommerce 1.2.3 on WinNT.

Once having logged into the admin screen, I clicked on
the Content Manager link. The browser hung.

So, I executed admin_object.cgi, only to get the
following prominent errors (apart from a lot of uninit
messages:
DBD::mysql::st execute failed: You have an error in
your SQL syntax near '' at line 1 at
d:/zennsoft/web/os_allcommerce/lib/db_layer.pm line
1169.
DBD::mysql::st fetchrow_hashref feiled: fetch()
withour exectue() at
d:/zennsoft/web/os_allcommerce/lib/db_layer.pm line
1172.

So, I printed the query to get:

SELECT body FROM extraprop WHERE fieldname
= 'ac_language_sens' SELECT mdate, custid, browser
FROM sessions WHERE sid = Location: //login.cgi

This does not seem right. Something seems awfully
wrong.. why do I get two select clauses and
the "Location: //login.cgi" seems fishy.

Can you help me fix this, please?

No site.pm file

Jordon Davidson — Fri, 27 Jul 2001 00:14:54 -0000

I'm unable to complete the configure.pl setup due
to a missing file.

After completing the site_ccvs_port [] option the
following error appears:

Can't locate ./conf/site.pm in @INC (@INC
contains: /usr/lib/perl5/5.00503/i386-linux /usr/lib/
perl5/5.00503 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/i386-
linux /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005 .) at ./lib/
configure.pm line 1223, <STDIN> chunk 58.
Database handle destroyed without explicit
disconnect, <STDIN> chunk 58.

Sure enough there is no site.pm file in conf.

How would I obtain such a beast? It seems like
that should have been included in the distribution.

Error in line 1333 of configure.pm file

George McCann — Tue, 10 Jul 2001 14:13:22 -0000

When trying to run configure.pl idl; the program blows
up when the idl is trying to start, always referencing
line 1333 of the configure.pm program. It says it
cannot 'prepare' due to a missing or incorrect value.

Have tried numerous times. Am using mysql with proper
DBI/DBD. Trying to login as admin does hit the
database, verified by checking sessions table.

Apache is configured properly and running. Perl
version is also fine (5.00503).

Help? I can't go any further.

Hi,
I've been playing all week with this.
I have the same problem as previously mentioned re
missing state fields.
I followed the instructions above be was presented
with >sel_state.txt appearing in the box instead of
the list.
I set up a test 'brand' and then went on to add a
product but the brand was not available in the list,
I've read the piece on permissions and have chown'd
the directory and files to death without any luck.
This problem also occurs when 'joining' the site as a
visitor - no 'state' list
Thanks

myaccount address edit missing state

robert chou — Sat, 05 May 2001 06:24:14 -0000

vi myaccount.pm,
search for "sel_state",
uncomment the following lines:
my $state = &localize_template("sel_state",
$site->{'interfaces'}, 0, $site);
my @temp = split /\n/, $state;
$addressinfo{'STATE_SELECT'} = &gen_select
(' ', 2, @temp);
