I installed osCommerce on a windows machine today so i 'am an absoluut beginner. I get two warnings.

 

1 Warning Warning: I am able to write to the configuration file: E:/ApacheWeb/htdocs/www.thesenseshop.nl/includes/configure.php. This is a potential security risk - please set the right user permissions on this file.

 

2 Warning Warning: The sessions directory does not exist: /tmp. Sessions will not work until this directory is created.

 

I created in my shop area a directory sessions and whitin the directory tmp. Still I get warning two. Where do I create which directory?

 

I try to chmod 777 configure.php confirm the manual but I dit not susceted. I'am only running this shop on localhost.

 

Please help

you shouldn't chmod configure.php 777 if the script warns you it can write to it. chmod it 755 or even 644 instead. Also create a directory(folder) called tmp in your base directory and chmod that 777.

 

anyway i just read you are on a windows machine... chmoding on a windows server is not an option, it's unix only. I have no idea about windows servers.
