I have never used this type program before, I am trying to setup a store and I have a few problem, I cannot add to my catagory it says Error: Catalog images directory is not writeable: /home/virtual/site63/fst/var/www/html/store/images/, also how do I put my own text on the store front page? Please Help me, I am not very good with this kind of thing but I am willing to learn and would greatly appreciate any help.

The permissions on the 'images' folder need to be set to a level of 755. The simplest way of doing this is to go to your Web Hosting Control Panel, locate the File Manager, use that to navigate to the folder and then change the level of the permissions on the folder.

 

The text for the homepage is found in the includes/languages/english/index.php file, and is located in this section here:

define('TEXT_MAIN', '');

between the two apostrophies.

 

To edit the file you need to download it via FTP to your computer. Make a backup in another name (just in case) and then remove the default text (as I have done) between those two apostrophies. If you wish to put some text in there that's fine, but note that any text you put there which has apostrophies in it must be written like so:

 

let's = wrong

let\'s = right

In the control panel of my website this is what is listed under files, I just in too much over my head I guess.

 

Path to current directory: /

Click the directory name to access the directory

Click the file name to download the file

Click a folder or file icon to view/change related properties

Note: Files that are added to the clipboard can be copied or moved to the currently displayed directory.

Name Size Owner Actions

bin

boot

dev

etc

home

initrd

lib

mnt

opt

proc

root

sbin

tmp

usr

var

This looks like the one:

 

"Click a folder or file icon to view/change related properties"

 

That's a very basic admin panel though.

You probably need to click on name home (then wait for the page to reload).

 

Next (probably) click on the name store (then wait for the page to reload) and so on until you get to a point where you can see the /images directory - then click on the little folder symbol and change the attributes to what you want.
