I had the same problem, but the store seems to have installed ok. I haven't found anything that isn't working yet, but I still wonder if everything that the install was suppose to do got done. |
I found out the issue is due to an as-yet-undetermined-by-me setting in PHP. To get X-Cart to fully install properly without quitting during the install procedure, I had to modify install.php
Search for any instance where 'init.php' is included in a function. add the following code somewhere within that same function (I usually add it either right over the 'include' statement, or after the opening brace of the function): Code:
global $HTTP_SERVER_VARS,$HTTP_GET_VARS,$HTTP_COOKIE_VARS,$HTTP_POST_VARS, $HTTP_POST_FILES; What happens is prepare.php is called by init.php, and depends upon several variables in PHP being available for parsing. Those variables are not automatically registered as globals within a function (on my PHP install), so that results in prepare.php failing, killing the install script. |
Wow, seems there are problems with this new version. Should I wait a little bit a new version with patchs? Thanks for your advices.
|
surprised?
You shouldn't be surprised if there are bugs in this release. You should go back in this forum to the release of 4.0.0 and look at the dates between releases and the number of bugs fixed.
4.0.1 was released 2 weeks after the initial release and had fixed OVER 60 bugs. It wasn't until 8 months later with the release of 4.0.12 when it was finally announced as stable. Of course going from 3.5 to 4.0 may have been a more difficult transition than going from 4.0 to 4.1? I am a new customer and wasn't around during the 3.5 to 4.0 upgrade. Were the software changes drastically greater than the current upgrade? Can we expect a stable release sooner than 8 months? |
the 3.5 change to 4.0 was fairly drastic, this 'unstable' period should be noticeably lesser, imho
|
Just completed an upgrade from 4.0.18 to 4.1. Everything is great except for the following:
1. It took quite a while to complete the upgrade because it initially failed on the following: Code:
ALTER TABLE xcart_pricing ADD INDEX pv (productid, variantid); 2. master and other accounts cannot login. Not with the password that was already set, 'master', or empty. I have a script I used with b1 that helps to reset the password and it worked without modification (in case you have a copy of my script, this might be helpful). It's odd that the same problem still exists. Hopefully I won't have to write something to convert passwords from 4.0.18 to 4.1 to fix the rest. :wink: 3. xcart_categories_subcount is empty making it impossible to search products or see category products from the admin. Anyone have a fix for this? Otherwise, I'm hoping the tables line up close enough to make manual export/import possible. 4. The xcart_images_* tables are empty. No products have pictures. It is quite possible that #1 is causing the rest, but I'm not sure that is the case. Have fun! :D |
When I go to the advanced search page and I try to perform a search in any of the extra fields that I set up under 'search also in', I get this sql error.
Code:
INVALID SQL: 1109 : Unknown table 'xcart_extra_field_values' in where clause |
I hope X-cart will release ver 4.1.1 update soon to address all of these issues mentioned.

ROCK and roll..
Is the 4.1.0 version ready to rock? or is it still a bit unstable? I looked at it when it first released and posted then. I read through all the forums threads since then..
Balinor any advice? Exp users? |

with the posted patches applied, it's working well for me so far, but my 4.1 site is only in testing at the moment. |
Personally, I wouldn't use it for a live site for a few months. 4.0 was not considered stable until 4.0.12. Let the bugs get worked out, it isn't worth losing sales due to as of yet undiagnosed bugs.
|
i'm developing my first xcart site now, and will be online in a few months.
i'm using 4.1 and hope that 4.1.1 with the patches will come soon! since i'm new to xcart: how does development happen? do we post bugs here in the forum or throught our help desk? |

You can post bugs in the bugs forum http://forum.x-cart.com/viewforum.php?f=28 |

Just be sure to read the rules in the Bugs forum about posting new bugs...like testing the bug on the demo version. Some things may not be bugs, but configuration issues. :)

when i do browse for images on server it takes me to /files/ when it should go to /images/ , which is where all the images are stored now!
this is a bug i think, and needs to be changed. |
The files directory is the correct directory and is the default for product images. Site images are in the skin1/images directory.

i mean for product images, when i upload them in xcart they are stored in xcart/images under T, D and P folders. so i thought the browser would go there for the pictures? |
re: EXPORT IN 4.1 HANGS
Quote:
I, TOO, EXPERIENCE THE SAME PROBLEM. I'VE TRIED IT iN FIREFOX on both MAC OS X and WinXPPro, IE on Win, Safari and Opera on Mac. I get the same thing .... it hangs in the middle without producing any kind of error. Exporting data... Exporting products... . Rows: 165 Exporting product options... |
4.1.1 should be releasing in next day or two as I was told :)

Sorry about the delay with 4.1.1. UPS requires that we make some minor changes to the module that enables UPS shipping for X-Cart users, and we need to meet their requirements before 4.1.1 is released. It may take one or two additional days.
|
Just a question concerning this new version: what about the France post?
Guess what...YES, I'm french :wink: THANKS! |
While Javascript adds much needed functionality to web sites and X-Cart makes great use of it, there is a lot of it in the head and SEO is one example of why this might be bad. It seems common.js can be successfully called as an external file rather than included in its entirety. I've made some changes and the js in my head now looks like this:
Code:
<script type="text/javascript"></script><script type="text/javascript" src="/skin1/common.js"></script> |
It is really better indeed :D

UPS shipping
maybe while your at it you can add the option to show all the shipping methods from different couriers on one page instead of having to use a drop down window to select different couriers. That is too confusing for customers. 8O

It's a requirement of UPS to show shipping methods like that. They won't certify us if we make it other way. |

Re: UPS shipping
Perhaps you can release it they way UPS wants, then provide instructions here on the forums or by email to "enhance" the shipping page to show all the shipping methods at once. now thats a good idea :wink:
