ltldoc Posted March 19, 2006 Posted March 19, 2006 Can anyone tell me how I can edit this file? Right now I get the following message when I attempt to do an edit: Error: I can not write to this file. Please set the right user permissions in: /home/ltldoc/public_html/ltldoc01/includes/configure.php I need to do this because the file is calling the wrong url when I attempt to create an account (calling a https://). Thanks in advance. Kurt
Guest Posted March 19, 2006 Posted March 19, 2006 You need to change the permissions on the file (chmod) to 777 to modify it, then change it back again afterwards.

That's what I'm trying to do Tony. Isn't there someplace in the program that allows me to do this. I know I've seen (and done it) within the program in the past. Kurt
Guest Posted March 20, 2006 Posted March 20, 2006 nope, osc doesnt let you fiddle with permissions from within the control panel. You need an ftp manager to do this, or some hosts allow you to do it through your hosting control panel.

You need an ftp manager to do this, or some hosts allow you to do it through your hosting control panel. I went in through cpanel and was able to change the permissions. The only problem is that this did not solve the problem. Configure.php is calling for my https:// at the following address: https://docslounge.org and my http:// at http://urgiftsnow. The problem is that I have a fourm on http://docslounge.org and I don't have a https:// address there. My hosting company is looking into this, but it seems to be taking them a very long time. Kurt
♥Vger Posted March 20, 2006 Posted March 20, 2006 Changing the permissions on the file does not itself solve the problem - you also need to then edit includes/configure.php to correct the error in the file pathways. If you've done that and still have the problem then look in includes/local/ to see if there is an alternative configure.php file in there - if you find one then either rename or delete it. Vger

Vger That is a given Vger. But you can't very well do any editting if you can't change the permissions. I finally got my hosting service to look at the problem and they corrected it for me. Thanks for everyone's help. Kurt
