changing logo

[andrewbowe]

iv loaded oscommerce onto my home page using fantastico.

 

when i try to change the oscommerce logo at the top it comes up with this message:

 

Error: I can not remove this file. Please set the right user permissions on: /home/andrewbo/public_html/admin/images/oscommerce.gif

 

what do i do to solve this problem

[rabbitseffort]

chmodd your images directory to writable--it must have defaulted to read only during your install

[andrewbowe]

where do i click to change the directory to writable

Good question, I'm just working on this now. I'm looking forward to getting my site up and running properly.

Thank You

Diane

where do i click to change the directory to writable

depends on where you are working on your files.

 

using ftp, rightclick the filename and change there

 

using your hosts file manager, each is different, so either look around, read the help file or call support

[andrewbowe]

i will change to a ftp could you recommend 1 please

my favorite is in my footer --- WS_FTP

I agree with Monika on suggested FTP program. Another one, which is more features but more difficult to use, is SmartFTP.

 

One thing I will point out when setting file / folder permissions, which is consistant on most FTP programs when you right click on that folder, is you will see 3 lines of permissions:

 

OWNER GROUP PUBLIC

 

Or something similar. Underneath each you will see usually checkboxes for

 

[ ] Read

[ ] Write

[ ] Execute

 

As you check each one under each column it will show a number displayed. Like checking off all will show 777, which indicates you want read, write and execute permissions for owner, group and public access.

 

You can get some other good info by looking up "setting folder permissions" or "CHMOD". Hope this helps with the info everyone else has given.
