I am new at this and just installed oscommerce. I got the error that I need to change the permission

 

"osCommerce/catalog/includes/configure.php. This is a potential security risk - please set the right user permissions on this file."

 

I don't know where to go to change the chmod. I don't even know what chmod is.

 

Secondly I already have a general non ecommerce site created. To get this running, am I supposed to download all these files from the file manager and upload them on to my regular site in the ftp or just link a page in my general site to the address of the oscommerce site? :(

Your ftp client program will let you use chmod to change file permissions. Here's a tutorial for WS_FTPLE:

Probably best to upload the files to a new directory (such as www.yoursite.com/catalog/) and link from your existing home page. But that's up to you.

Just a reminder - the chmod command only works if your server is Unix or Lynux based - doesn't work if you're on a Windows server.
