Magento

Issue: I installed using the wizard with no problem, but can only see the demo page and not login as a customer or an admin. When I click on those kind of links, I see that it points to folders that do not exist in my magento folder on my server. Errors and Page URLs provided below.

Hosting Comany:  Hostmonster.com
PHP Version: 5.2.5
Apache Version: 2.2.8 (Unix)
Magento Version: 1.0

I downloaded the lastest version available from the website in TAR form.
I followed the installation guide from the knowledge base line by line and did the following:
- Decompressed the TAR file
- Using Filezilla, transferred all the files, (the entire Magento folder to my public_html folder in my root directory.
- Created the MySQL database as noted in the doc.
- I ensured that all the files/directories in the doc were changed to 777 using my filezilla.
- I did the install wizard as noted by going through http://mydomain.com/magento/

I did not feel totally comfortable with the question that defaulted to localhost. I do not know if i was suppose to change that.

Well I completed the installation and it took me to the front end and was able to see a demo page on mydomain.com/magento.
Now I cannot see the customer or admin pages and concerned that I have messed things up…

I see that when I click on link, the URL path does not exist in the magento folder, but i see that the database that I created now has tons of tables which is what I expected.

I get....

404 Not Found: Not Found

The requested URL /magento/checkout/onepage/ was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

And the URL is:
https://www.mydomain.com/magento/checkout/onepage/

Wowzers, has no one had the problem I had.
Nervous about trying the re-install just from reading all the postings on here.

You have tried http://mydomain.com/magento/admin

Right?

Yes I have tried that.
Again Im trying a fresh install.

Now I got an error saying:

PHP Extension “pdo_mysql” must be loaded

So I know that I have to change the following according to my ISP:

extension=pdo_mysql.so
extension=pdo.so
and the line that begins with “extension_dir”.....you need to take ‘local’ out of the path....that’s it

Nervous that I might make a change that is not welcomed by Hostmonster.com or Magento…

Yes yes yes,
I was able to get Magento up and running… Installing pdo_mysql.so was crazy, but my hosting company (hostmonster.com) was able to help.
Then when it came to getting through all the installation… after leveraging the forum and google… I found out that I HAD to update the memory and used 32MB from what I saw worked in forums.

I like the store layout and now need to place product on it and play with the design.

I cannot log into admin using the normal link
http://mysite.com/shop/admin/

I can log into admin using this link
http://mysite.com/shop/index.php/admin/dashboard/

How can I fix it so the correct link works?

i tried to install on hostmonster without problem, and can place a few orders, email notification working, but after that the onepage cant display normally, reinstalled, working at first, and memory problem, cant use it anymore until magento fix those problems maybe.

i was having the same issue, but i got it solved. on the hostmonster cpanel under php configuration, set the config as PHP5 (Single php.ini), then check the SourceGuardian checkbox and install the default php.ini. try it and see if it works for you. i didnt have to alter the php.ini file at all. i didnt even have to remove the .default extension.

Jorgito, good that you manage to solve the problem.

magbuzz, when you visit /admin , it will redirect to /index.php/admin/ , which is correct.
