Installed osCommerse but cannot edit files

[Guest]

I have downloaded the osCommerce software but when I try to edit the files through file manager, I cannot edit any thing just select and copy.

 

Please tell me what I am doing wrong.

 

Thanks.

You should use an ftp client to download & edit the files, then upload them again.

 

If you use the file manager, they have to have write permissions ( CHMOD 777 ).

Do not use the file manager in the osC admin to edit your files. This will cause you problems so do not do it!!! Edit them locally and then ftp them back up to your server.

I did the install through the web and when I ftp to server, I cannot even find the path that is listed on the file manager.

Go ahead and post a url and what files you are wanting to edit.

The file pathways you see via FTP will not be the same as the file pathways you use in your configure.php files.

 

You need to FTP to your root directory (something like public_html or htdocs or httpdocs or just html), and that's where you'll find the start of your osCommerce files.
