Install Problem Accessing files

[Guest]

It appears that Ryan Leerye and i have the same problem.

 

Sorry All, Verry rude of me not to say Hello. Hello.

 

Hopefully this will only be a quick fix.

 

I have installed os and an part way through the configuration process. I have found myself on the recieving end of an error with explanation in any doco that i have come accross.

 

Recieving the following error during web install:

 

osCommerce Configuration

 

The following error has occurred:

 

The configuration files do not exist, or permission levels are not set.

 

Please perform the following actions:

 

* cd /var/www/html/catalog/includes/

* touch configure.php

* chmod 706 configure.php

 

* cd /var/www/html/catalog/admin/includes/

* touch configure.php

* chmod 706 configure.php

 

If chmod 706 does not work, please try chmod 777.

 

I have set the permittions on ALL folders and file to be, Read Write Execute.

 

I am still having problems with this error. If any of you kind people are able to help it would be most appresheated

Is this a Windows server? In which case you cannot set the file permissions via FTP. If it is a Windows server try setting the file permissions via your hosting control panel file manager, or via ssh. Failing that, get your hosting company to set them for you.

thanks for the prompt reply

 

I am 90% sure that this is a unix server. However i will call my ISP to find out about your question.

Thanks for the guidance i have swoped FTP clients. I was using zs FTP and this reads the permissions incorrectly. i am now using Cute FTP.

 

 

Thanks Again.
