error trying to get into admin area

[phrog]

I've just installed OSCommerce and everything went well. The home page comes up with an error that it cannot write to the configuration.php file. When I try to get into the admin index.php I get a fatal error

Cannot re-assign $this in catalog\admin\includes\classes\upload.php

I have the feeling it is the same thing but when I try to change the permissions on the files the changes don't stick. I am running a local server (on my own machine) wamp collection of Apache 1.3.33 and PHP 5.0.4 and MySQL 4.1.7

 

Is there something I need to change in the aphache config file to allow me to change permissions on files as I think this is the overall problem.

 

Thanks

The problem is php5. Look below my name for the '$this in uploads.php' link and apply the fix.

Thank you for that, I was ust doing a search and found your article. That fixed the fatal error but it still doesn't fix the problem I have with being unable to set permissions on the configuartion.php file. Any ideas?

The error you get on the homepage is that you 'can' write to the configure.php file.

 

Edit - sorry just realised it's a local install. Just go to the file on your hard drive, right-click, select Properties and tick the box to make it Read Only.
