How to slove those three warning messages ?

[fching]

After I install os in my localhost, I click the catalog buttom. There are three warnings on the top of the page.

 

Warning: Installation directory exists at: C:/Program Files/xampp/htdocs/catalog/install. Please remove this directory for security reasons.

 

Warning: I am able to write to the configuration file: C:/Program Files/xampp/htdocs/catalog/includes/configure.php. This is a potential security risk - please set the right user permissions on this file.

 

Warning: The sessions directory does not exist: /tmp. Sessions will not work until this directory is created.

 

Thanks for helping me.

Delete your install folder.

 

Set permissions to 644 on includes/configure.php

 

Create /tmp directory.

Create /tmp directory.

Where do I create /temp directory ? Under catalog ?

Once installation is done its a security problem to keep the install folder.

 

So Download the folder(though not needed as it comes with osc box) and delete.

 

Now go to catalog/include/configure.php and remove write permission for all.

What did you do? I'm having the same problem.

nm, I've used ws ftp to change the permission and check off all write.

Use an ftp program, find the file you are having problems with, right click on the file and change permissions. This should take care of the problem.
