Hi iamcp,

First of all please check that you've read the help on that images page of the admin app - it contains some useful information for loading images.

In image1 you must put the location of the image file that you uploaded not a description (the full file location is "Image base Path" plus the location you specify in this field).

Did you browse for the filename of the new image?  Is there a valid filename in the select file textbox?

Hi prog_hd,

Could it be that you're trying to run our java 5 code in a 1.4 JVM ? 

Can you set your IDE to use java 1.5 ?

Hi,

KonaKart is a standard Java Web application and as such we know of no reason why it should not be compatible with WebSphere or any other compliant J2EE container.

Our product download comes with an installer that installs tomcat 5.5.17 but I know there are users running KonaKart in a variety of other containers.

Hi Anni,

Are you sure it isn't KonaKart running on that port?

Have you tried using netstat to find out?

http://developer.apple.com/DOCUMENTATION/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man1/netstat.1.html

It would be quite a few files to change just because you can't find which process is using port 8780.

You could always reboot your machine and see if it's being used after that.

Hi Anika,

Your earlier post made me think you hadn't read the FAQs because in there is states:

"Leave the torque.database.default equal to oscommerce."


If I got "Unable to connect to the Database called oscommerce." I would look very closely at why KonaKart was unable to connect to the database.  There could be many reasons but one really obvious one is that the connection parameters are defined incorrectly.

Could you double-check the ones you've used?

Did you mean "konakart" for the database name perhaps?

Hi Anni,

No, don't change that.

Instead, spend some time reading up on the installation and configuration FAQs.  They're relevant to OS X as well - just refer to the Linux/Unix notes.

http://www.konakart.com/faqs.php

If something isn't answered in those, get back to the forum.

Hi prog_hd,

Go straight to the one causing the conflict 

Of course that's not obvious.   

You will have to check each one until it works..  the jars you mentioned are good ones to start with.

Hi Anni,

If you'd followed through the scripts which you have in your bin directory you would have seen that you've reached catalina.sh. 

This is fine but now have a look at the logs directory to see if you can see anything in there (catalina.out is a likely candidate) that indicates to you what went wrong... or whether the application has actually started and you didn't realise.

Have you tried running the application from a browser after you've started it? i.e. using http://localhost:8780/konakart/

Hi prog_hd,

Could it be that you have incompatible jars being loaded?   

Perhaps you could cross-check with the tomcat installation of KonaKart that you got working to compare the jars that should be used.

Pete

Hi Anni,

You should be able to run that ok without changing the extension. 

When you open a terminal session and run that shell script what do you see?

Maybe a little bit of background on shell scripting could be helpful?  eg... I'm sure you could find 1000s of better ones on the Net but here's one:  http://www.noendpress.com/vroman/shellscripting/index.php

Hello prog_hd,

I've never used that particular IDE so you'll have to provide a bit more information on what you've done so far and what the specific problems are.

I'm assuming, at this stage, you're just trying to run it from your IDE which includes some form of embedded WebSphere AS??

This should all be possible although you'll probably have a little work to do to get the libraries in all the right places at first.

A good starting point would be to install KonaKart using the GUI installer which will give you a working reference platform on tomcat from which to copy jars, create WARs or EARs or whatever your IDE requires.

Hi Jimmy,

First you have to make sure your database is set up correctly.   One simple way to do this is to do as I said in my last post - that is, to verify that you can add Chinese characters using MySQL tools...  eg. use the MySQL Query Browser...

The point is that this step will help you resolve your problem.  Note that other users are using Chinese characters without problems.

Hi Joel,

Note that the Save button will not be enabled if the record doesn't validate successfully.  This could be fields on other tabs - for example in the case of products where there are mulitple tabs.   Flick through the other tabs and look for the bright yellow invalid fields.

Another possibility is that your user doesn't have the edit product role enabled;  but I don't think this will be the case here - if you are using the admin@konakart.com user.  You could check your user has the necessary roles enabled in the Admin App.

Hi Jimmy,

I've just inserted a manufacturer with Chinese characters without any problems. Other forum members seem to have achieved this also. Are you sure that your database is set up correctly ? Have you managed to insert Chinese characters using MySQL Admin tools ?

Pete

Hi John_g,

You were very close.

The code that sets up the digital download only executes after payment is received from the user, not when an administrator sets the status of an order.  Therefore to see this you would have to pay for the product through one of the payment options that will actually take a payment (eg. unlike "Cash On Delivery" which you probably used).

Pete
