Strange Locations of files and permissions issues

[rodmc]

A colleague of mine recently installed OsCommerce on our site and everything appeared to work ok. However there are problems with paths and as a result permissions.

 

For example on the server the files are stored in (checked via ftp):

 

/home/sites/ourcompany/web/catalogue/

 

Where as OsCommerce gives errors saying that it cannot backup files to another directory "anotherpath":

 

/homes/sites/anotherpath/web/catalogue/admin/backups

 

This is despite the fact Oscommerce is definately set up and runs from the correct path, the first one.

 

 

Also when editing files from within the admin system I am able to view the file, then when I try to edit it the same strange location issues emerge and I get errors like:

 

Error Error: I can not write to this file. Please set the right user permissions on:

 

/homes/sites/anotherpath/web/catalogue//index.php

 

The result of the current situation is that I cannot edit and save any files, although the test site works almost prefectly. So its all rather annoying.

 

I would be grafeful for advice people can offer.

 

Kind regards,

I`ve the same problem. Don`t know how to fix it :'(

 

P.S. Maybe it`s a good idea to reread osCommerce manual one more time? :huh:
