Help With Folder permissions

[deftonez4me]

Thanks in advance for anyone who helps me...

 

I'm getting the following errors when trying to create new products:

 

This: /images/ directory is not writable. Attempting to correct...

Success Directory permissions on /images/ was set successfully.

Error Failed to create directory /images/products/.

Error This: /images/products/ directory is not writable. Attempting to correct...

Error Error returned from alterimage class: 1

Error Products Info file: /images/products/boat-shoes/mens/shoem.gif could not be created.

I think that i need to change the folder permissions on the images directory, but i'm not sure...Anyone??

You do need to change them yes, use your ftp program for setting the permissions and i think the needed permissions are in the install text file

Is it a stupid question to ask where the install text file is?

Is it a stupid question to ask where the install text file is?

Most contributions have an install.txt, or install.htm, or a readme.txt, or whatever name is used.

i believe i have tracked the config file i need to either one of two files, this is according to "readme.txt":

-includes/application_top.php

-includes/classes/displayimages.php

 

After looking through both these files i still can't figure out what to change, in order to change the permissions on the image folder. Someone please help! Thanks.

Thank you so much, that worked to fix the errors, and i can now add a product, and upload images for it, but after i set the status to active, it still doesn't show up on the front end. Suggestions? Thanks!
