General Errors after installation

[drkaiser]

Hi. I have a problem. When I'm in admin->Catalog section I'm getting this error:

 

"Error Error: Catalog images directory is not writeable: /var/www/html/catalog/images/";

 

I've tryed chown and chmod functions but keep getting the same error. Can you please send me any solution. Thanks forehand!!!! :)

If you are on a Windows server then the chmod command won't work. The chown command is likely reserved to the server itself.

 

Try going to your web hosting control panel File Manager and using that to alter the permissions.

or you can use an FTP program..... change permissions via the FTP Program you have....

Hmm.. You see, I'm runnig osCommerce on my own linux server (Fedora Core 3). I've loged in as root and set permission to 777 for all subfolders and files of ...../catalog/images

 

I'm still getting this error! What user and group should be assign to that folder?

What user and group should be assign to that folder?

 

owner - read, write, execute (owner is probably apache)

 

By the way I have seen quite a few posts from people trying to run osCommerce on Fedora Core 3 - and I can't remember any of them having any luck. Do a search of the forums for 'fedora' - should bring up some results.

 

Also, on Fedora, I think that entries for 'localhost' are replaced by '127.0.0.1' - at least they are on RedHat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)

After a few days of beating my head against this one I managed to get it to work, thanks Vger for suggesting it was fedora, made me think what was different about Fedora, I disabled SELinux and Bingo. Images directory is working fine.
