Problems with new install

[muuseec]

Help! :'(

 

I?m (still) trying to install osCommerce from scratch using CuteFTP on a webhotell running Windows2000.

The webhotell claims to have set the fileproperties according to instructions, still the icons/graphics in osCommerce go missing on the very first install screen.

 

Question:

What is most likely:

1) The fileproperties are still not right

2) There is something else afoot

 

When I check the files out with CuteFTP it looks like the properties are wrong, but since chmod doesn?t work on W2k I am not sure if the returned values are correct.

Does anyone know what?s up?

 

Would be MOST grateful for help.

Your folders (not the files in them) must have properties set to 755, or if that doesn't work 777 (full permissions). As you are on a Windows server and can't use chmod you will need to use the web hosting control panel's File Manager to set the permissions.

 

If you don't have a control panel that has a File Manager that allows you to set permissions then you really need to host elsewhere - because otherwise you'll be totally reliant upon your host to do all of your permission setting for you.

I just got really tired of the situation and I am switching right away to a host that allows me to set the fileproperties on my own.

 

Hope to be on track with the new host asap.

 

Thanks! :)

Do yourself a double favour and choose a host that uses Apache servers. There's no dount that osCommerc works on both Windows and Apache - but works better and easier on Apache.
