It never fails that when I setup a sandbox or test installation of Open Freeway that I end up needing to move the entire installation. So that I do not miss anything the next time I am recording the steps here. If it is some help to anyone else great.
I installed my original test site under public_html/shop/. Now I am going to integrate it with my Joomla 1.5.5 test installation that is installed at public_html/beta/. The first step is to move the actual files on the server. I use FileZilla. Once it is setup properly all you do is point to the shop directory, click and hold, drag it to the beta directory and all your files are moved into public_html/beta/shop. That was easy! Now point your browser to domainname/beta/shop and you get something like this.
Warning: I am not able to write to the images folder: /public_html/beta/shop/images. Please check the attribute and make it writable.
Warning: I am not able to write to the images folder: /public_html/beta/shop/images/big. Please check the attribute and make it writable. Warning: I am not able to write to the images folder: /public_html/beta/shop/images/small. Please check the attribute and make it writable.
Warning: The downloadable products directory does not exist: /public_html/shop/download/. Downloadable products will not work until this directory is valid.
This is due to OpenFreeway expecting different directory paths. To fix this we need to edit the configure.php file. The file is located in the /beta/shop/includes/ directory. Since OpenFreeway requires that the configure.php files be unwritable to operate properly, we first need to change the permissions on the file to 644. I usually do all this editing from the webhost control panel. Then use the control panel's text editor to modify the file. Each place we see a path denoted at "/shop", we need to add the "/beta" before it. Remember to reset the permsisions on the files when you are done. And if all went well your Openfreeway instllation is now working. If not take a look in the configure.php file again and most likely you missed one of the path variables.
