jesseray Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 I keep getting the following error message while trying to install a new oscommerce site. Please perform the following actions: cd /home/jesseray/public_html/catalog/includes/ touch configure.php chmod 706 configure.php cd /home/jesseray/public_html/catalog/admin/includes/ touch configure.php chmod 706 configure.php If chmod 706 does not work, please try chmod 777. What is the chmod 706, how do I fix this simple problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strictlypc Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 Hi, chmod is used for linux/unix systems. If you are using a Windows based Server, just go to: catalog\includes\configure.php right click on the file and go into Properties and then change the attributes to: Read-Only Hope this helps, StrictlyPC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_ancient Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 I dont know anything about windows server, but, I dont think read only is the way to go the Install script has to have WRITE access to WRITE the configuration variables Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
