[DEL] Is possible to cut your footer so, that you have only 3 lines?


Hi Wes,

first of all. Did you look into the mailarchiv and has you searched for
SAMPLEURL? 
This was discussed!

This is the part of my former email
-------snip--------

this is my simple.cfg (/home/mvend/simple.cfg)

(a part from it)
SERVERNAME     www.buchonline.net
STOREID        simple
DEMOTYPE        simple
[del]
ENCRYPTOR       none
PERMTYPE    M
# Full path to catalogdirectory "simple" outside from the public www
directory
CATROOT         /www/catalogs/simple
# -----> Hi Wes... make sure, your setting of your webserver is right
CGIDIR          /www/cgi-bin
# The URL location of the CGI program, without the http://
# or server name.
# http://www.virtual.com/cgi-bin/prog
#                       ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
# http://www.virtual.com/program.cgi
#                       ^^^^^^^^^^^^
CGIURL          /cgi-bin/simple
ALIASES         /cgi-bin/simple

(if you are using WIN, takge /cgi-bin/simple.exe)

DOCUMENTROOT    /www/www_public/mvshop
SAMPLEHTML      /www/www_public/mvshop/simple
IMAGEDIR        /www/www_public/mvshop/simple/images
IMAGEURL        /images

Summery of my filessystem is

/www/cgi-bin
/www/catalogs/simple
/www/www_public/mvshop
/www/www_public/mvshop/simple
/www/www_public/mvshop/simple/images

And this is my catalog.cfg (/home/mvend/simple/catalog.cfg)
(a part from it)
Variable    SERVER_NAME     __MVC_SERVERNAME__
Variable    CGI_URL         __MVC_CGIURL__
Variable    SECURE_SERVER   http://__MVC_SERVERNAME__
Variable    IMAGE_DIR       __MVC_IMAGEURL__
Variable    DOCROOT         __MVC_DOCUMENTROOT__
Variable    SAMPLEHTML      __MVC_SAMPLEHTML__
Variable    SAMPLEURL       __MVC_SAMPLEURL__
## END SITE CONFIGURATION
VendURL                 http://__SERVER_NAME____CGI_URL__

Short summary:
You define site information in simple.cfg and not in catalog.cfg.
You make a catalog with i.e. "/home/mvend/bin/makecat simple" (use the
configfile "/home/mvend/simple.cfg")
After building new catalog, go to /www/catalogs/simple/catalog.cfg and
look into this file. You get a hints if something goes wrong.
-------snip--------

If you are using minivend version 4.xx, rename simple.cfg to
makecat.cfg.simple or makecat.simple.cfg (i'm not sure from my head) and
store this into /home/mvend/etc. Of course change all paths for your own
files system.

Good luck

Joachim
