SheBhi Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 >_< I cannot seem to add any banners to my site. I input the banner info however I get this message when I am done. Error: graphs directory is not writable. What can I do? I want to add multiple banners to my site. Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3psilon Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 You need to CHMOD the graphs directory folder to allow it to be written to. At least that is my take based on the message you received. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SheBhi Posted December 2, 2004 Author Share Posted December 2, 2004 I am not to sure what that means. I am new. I am able to input all the info for the banner and it accepts it in the admin, but does not show up at the bottom of my site when I check on the home page.

3psilon Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 Ok, are you still getting the 'Error: graphs directory is not writable.' error? If so, then you need to use your FTP Client, or your Admin Panel for your hosting and find the graphs folder and CHMOD (change permissions) to allow it to be written to. 777 allows full access, though I don't know the optimal value for security means. I wish I could explain it better than that. If that error is not showing up and it is a default installation of OSC, then I am even more clueless as to why the banners are not showing up.

Guest Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 from your host cpanel file manager, navigate to the store location, then admin/images click on graphs change file permissions to 777 from the upper right menu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SheBhi Posted December 6, 2004 Author Share Posted December 6, 2004 I see what your saying however, the permissions won't change. How come? I set them & click change and nothing changes. Any other suggestions? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbuck Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 I'm having same problems. I went in, put 777 in and click change. It won't change it. does image and all of them have to change to 777 too? I'm new too :-" what does all these permission numbers mean? One other, i have 9 box's, when change 777, do you check them all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SheBhi Posted December 7, 2004 Author Share Posted December 7, 2004 Glad to hear I am not the only one. I am still not sure why the permissions won't change. Also, I cannot answer your question " what do all these permission number mean?" I wish I knew, but I dont. I do however know you have to set the permissions in order to do a lot of things on the site. I also have 9 box's but I only changed the bottom 3 to 777 I did not want to mess anything up by changing to much. If you find out how to solve the prob Pleasssse let me know.
