really boring for the experts but

[longsiders]

how do you set permisions in the configure.php using chmod?

 

I realise you are all programmers whereas I am just a private individual who has got an idea for an online business, no money to get it going and so I have to try and learn to do it all myself (it has taken me 2 days just to upload the files to my web server !!!)

We're not all programmers. I just started this myself. To set less restrictive permissions for the install CD to the directory and type chmod 777 config.php for both files. To set it more restrictive after install type chmod 644 config.php.

thanks for that.

 

Finally sussed how to set the chmod stuff (wish I had know it was just in the ftp client)

 

Any suggestions for how I secure my admin area?

whenever on Linux and you don't understand how something is supposed to work try the following:

 

program-name --help | more

 

man program-name

 

And quick explanation about chmod:

 

R = read

W = write

X = execute

 

order:

owner-group-world

as in rwx-rwx-rwx

Hi guys,

 

Where can I find a list of ALL the permissions I am supposed to set for all files in the oscommerce structure. I've seen it somewhere but I cant find it

After going back an forth between my local and remote servers, editing files I am not sure anymore that the permissions are now set correctly.

Is there a set for work in progress and a final one for when the store is public?

Another question is, what happend to the permission settings when I file is ftp downloaded to a windows machine, edited and then uploaded back to the unix server, do permissions get changed?

 

 

Many thanks!
