Thanks! Sandy Sound like your permissions are set to 444 (read only) this is the right setting except when you need to make changes. Using an FTP program change the permissions to 644 to upload changes and then change them back after you uploaded changes. Backup before making changes. Backup before making changes! Backup before making changes!! You did do a backup? eh?
ddp Posted April 29, 2006 Posted April 29, 2006 you also need to change this statement: define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://yourserversssl'); To reflect your server's shared ssl path Backup before making changes. Backup before making changes! Backup before making changes!! You did do a backup? eh?
Guest Posted April 29, 2006 Posted April 29, 2006 well, i found that, but now and i was able to change the "false" to "true", but now i can't change the permissions back to 444. do you have a solution for that??? (I hope!) sandy

(I hope!) sandy Might be that the server only allows you to change your permissions back to 444 by using the web hosting control panel. This is in fact the way my server is configured. There is probalby a file manager on you hosting control panel and that should be able to change the permissions. Backup before making changes. Backup before making changes!

THANKYOU, THANKYOU MICHAEL - YOU ARE AN ANGEL! My original question and your answer brought a whole host of issues this morning (like after my "checkout" page disappeared after I fixed the permissions. But YOU were so kind in taking the time to explain permissions to me (cause I know very little about all this). You actually saved my sanity! Thanks again! Sandy
