You may have to did it via your webhost's control panel -----> filemanager

If it is not installed on your pc, you could try an ftp program like filezilla to change your permissions.

i change my permission and is the same

Even if it is not your server you will still have a Site Administrator control panel which is provided by the hosting company. This is where you find the 'File Manager' link, which will allow you to navigate to the file and then change permissions.

I have the same problem, trying so many times (in 10 days) to change from 444, to 400, in both directories catalog/includes/configuration.php and admin/includes/configurations.php, but it still pop up the same error. :'( I keep going back and forth between FileZilla and my File Manager of my IP, but nothing changed ??? At the end I tried with 000 and it resulted with a blank page of course. :'(

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Ask your web hosts what the problem can be (maybe change hosts).

Thanks Coopco, this time I am asking you for REAL help. :'(

 

I'm trying to work around (to get rid of this "nuisance" message) by installing my SSL certificate into these 2 directories: catalog/includes/config. and admin/includes/config. the result when I click save at the last step, my Admin page went blank with a 505 error. I presume that I have to uninstall / re-install osCommerce? Or can I have other options to retrieve those pages I had built?

 

Best regards,.

I had a similar problem at the start. Turned out that my ftp client did not really change chmod at all. It looked like it did, but then when I refreshed all settings were back to the previous states. I contacted the company hosting my site and they said that because their servers run linux, sometimes these windows ftp clients cannot change chmod. The only way to get around this was to change chmod via a php script. Here's what I did: created a new file called setconfigure.php, which only included:

<?php

chmod("/customers/yourdomain.com/yourdomain.com/httpd.www/catalog/includes/configure.php", 0444);

echo "chmod was changed";

?>

obviously the path "/customers/yourdomain.com/yourdomain.com/httpd.www/catalog/includes/configure.php" needs to be modified so that it points to the right file. I uploaded this setconfigure.php to my root directory and browsed to it in firefox. That did the trick.

Oh, and 0644 did not work, btw, only 0444.

Hope it helped and sorry if I overexplained.

Good luck!

Don't use your web hosts file manager to edit anything at all. Use a pure text editor on your pc, then ftp the changes to the web.

This may help with ssl installation

Thanks again Coopco, can you instruct me know how to uninstall OSC and re-install it? All my works are gone somewhere in the web and it is impossible to retrieve it.

 

What I am planning to do right now is: delete OSC (.../html/catalog/ ...) from my file manager and re-upload it again, is it correct? Of course I expect to lost all my works and redo them all from scracth.

Also delete the database, ftp a fresh package downloaded from the solutions tab, and start from scratch.

Thanks Irishman, you are so kind for the fix, now with a fresh OSC I am trying to follow you up.

 

1. So far I try there are only 2 customers file in Admin: admin/customer.php and admin/includes/modules/index/customer.php. So, which one do I refer to?

 

2. Upload it to the right directory is very evasive to me, I don't know where to put it exactly, so I guess : is it in catalog/include/configure.php? Or else, please let me know.

Hang on. Are you trying to change chmod on the customer.pho files? I thought it was the configure.php you had trouble with. Never mind, the method is the same whichever you want to change the chmod of. So create a setchmod.php file with the code I listed above. The path should be changed so that it points from your root to the file you want to change the chmod of. Then upload this setchmod.php file to your root directory (and not into the "catalog", or into any directories. Actually you could do that too, but then the path should be pointing from that directory to the file you want to set the chmod of. And why make it more complicated, right?) And then just type in www.yourdomain.com/setchmod.php in Firefox and it should change the chmod setting if you gave the path right.

 

 

PS.: Sorry for not answering earlier, been sick...

Hello ,

 

is happened to me as well. I went to investigate and my configure.php in the include is gone. I tried to install the configure.php again but can't is there an easy way to do this or do I need to start over and reinstall everything and lose everything I've worked on. My site is lowbv.com I'm new to this and don't know what to do. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Sorry Andrew, I have no experience with that (yet. I hope I won't either). Let me know how it worked out for you, in case it would happen to me too (hopefully not, fingers crossed)
