rookinla Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 I'm using Dreamweaver as my FTP program and for the life of me I can't figure out how to get rid of... "I am able to write to the configuration file...." I know that this topic has been covered in several posts but I have yet to figure out how to change the permission settings. When I right click "configure.php" there is no option to set permissions. Is there anyone out there that knows how to fix this. This is all I need to fix to open my store.... Thanks...

kwalker Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 If you have an ftp program, use that instead. I use Dreamweaver myself, and I am not sure you can do that. I may be wrong, but I know it'll connect/ftp to your server, but not sure if's it's capable of setting your permissions. I'm using the MX 2004.

Guest Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 Can you go into your server administration panel and find that file? If you don't have a FTP program, you should be able to head in through that and change the permissions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybersilly Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 Can you go into your server administration panel and find that file? If you don't have a FTP program, you should be able to head in through that and change the permissions. Hi Chinchilla2, FYI You can't change permissions using Dreamweaver, There are a couple of ways to go about it: 1) The simplest (if this is just for local testing on your PC, not the public server!) open the file properties; open 'MyComputer', Browse to the file and right click on it to bring up the menu, click 'Properties' at the bottom, in the window that opens, look to the bottom for 'Attributes', click 'Read Only', click the Apply button then close the window. You should no longer see the warning :) 2) If you are needing to change the permissions for the file while its on the hosting server then you can either use a 3rd party FTP program (FileZilla, CuteFTP, WS_FTP etc) or your ISP's (Website Host's) Control Panel File Manager or FTP application (if available) 3) Alternatively you my Install a PHP File manager application such as phpXplorer on you website or local testing server (needs to be in Root directory for access to your shop files). Hope that helps, have fun :P Cybersilly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 Cybersilly, Thanks for the tip on Dreamweaver. I knew there was a reason why I don't use that program for uploading. Actually, the only reason it's installed is so I can go in and "tweek" sites that have been created with it without putting in a potential time bomb in it due to using a different editor. I use WS_FTP and that allows for right click/properties adjustments on files. However, once in a blue moon I have to go in through my server C-Panel file manager and adjust something. That was the server administration panel I was referring to. I just get in a hurry sometimes and forget to write the whole thing out and wind up using my "short-cut" terms. The hazards of being the mom to a 3y/o, everything gets rushed because it's a given that the second you get busy at something, the child is getting into something else. :D A good tip for everyone that uses a site editor/creation program that includes an upload function, get a backup program to upload. You never know when you might need it. Chin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rookinla Posted December 1, 2005 Author Share Posted December 1, 2005 I know how to get to the server's File Manager and I believe the permission seting should be 444. Is this right? The other question is this: Which line should I place the permission level on in coding? If somebody knows, could you please post an example of the correct coding? Thanks so much for all of your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 In case you haven't found the solution by now. Head into your server's File Manager, surf to your catalog/includes folder and locate your "configure.php" file. Depending upon how your server is setup, you may see "rw-rw-rw" located on the same line to the right of this file. It needs to be set to 644 if possible, 444 if you still receive the error. IF YOU DON'T HAVE NUMERICAL CODES 644 = rw-r-r and 444 =r-r-r Kinda hard to give explicit directions on this without knowing exactly what your server file manager shows but you should have a properties link there somewhere that will allow you to change it.

Guest Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 it all depends upon the server configuration, you can right click on the file and select edit, and or set permissions, however this again depends upon the server configuration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
