Hello
David I am running four project on same server and its working fine. There are no problem in php configuration.
In this script If I delete .htaccess file and $config_useRewrite = false; then getting this error
Checking database connection...FAIL check $config_databaseUsername and $config_databasePassword values
Checking database selection...FAIL
Checking database tables...FAIL
But I am using correct username and password ($config_databaseUsername ,$config_databasePassword) that I tested by directly browse config.php and config.php gives correct result.
Please help me to find error.
Regards
Mandakini
Hi Mandakini,
The first part indicates that you downloaded the code with the .htaccess file from the main server, which doesn't seem to be compatible with your local installation. An internal server error (500) is a common sign that something is wrong with .htaccess.
Otherwise, what are you using as your $config_databaseServer? It if "localhost"; however you confirmed that MySQL is up and running on "localhost"? Do you have other scripts that are using MySQL?
I would recommended testing this outside of Price Tapestry, using the example scripts from the PHP website:
http://uk2.php.net/mysql_connect
<?php
$link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'mysql_user', 'mysql_password');
if (!$link) {
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
echo 'Connected successfully';
mysql_close($link);
?>
Run that script after changing mysql_user and mysql_password and see if you can connect....
Cheers,
David.
Thanks for your reply Now I am able to connect with mysql but still If I keep $config_useRewrite = true; getting this error

With $config_useRewrite = false; script working fine Please tell me how to modify .htaccess or how to test wether this script is right or wrong. I am sure some minor changes need to do because home link is working fine with $config_useRewrite = true; only merchants and category link not able to execute
Thanks for your co-operation

Code for .htaccess file is:
Options -MultiViews

Hello Mandakini,
Have you installed Price Tapestry in the root directory of your web server? If not, you need to edit the following line in .htaccess - for example if the script is in a directory called "shopping" you would use:
RewriteBase /shopping/The other thing to check is if you get a 500 Internal Server error there should be a message in the web servers error log file that should help...
Cheers,
David.
Hi Mandakini,
That sounds like PHP is not configured properly on your local server. Before trying Price Tapestry, first just try a test PHP script, for example:
test.php:
<?phpprint "PHP is working...";
?>
Do you get the same error with that?
Cheers,
David.
