Morpheous Posted January 1, 2003 Share Posted January 1, 2003 Hi, I am relatively new to not only OSCommerce but also UNIX, i have so far managed to install OSC and it appears to be working fine. However i installed the DEfine_Mainpage module as per instructions, i've altered all of the permissions as per instructions but when i try to edit the file through the admin i get the following error :- ERROR_FILE_NOT_WRITEABLE I can only assume that the permissions are wrong somewhere, i realize this is probably a pretty basic problem but it's driving me nuts. Any help would be very appreciated. Thanks! BTW. i'd just like to say that i am a big fan of OSCommerce and to all the people that contribute to this project, i am only a newbie to this project but hopefully one day i will be able to contribute as well.

jdelgado Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 Hey, I'm stuck on that too. I presume you've changed (as I've done) the CHMOD of that file (define_mainpage.php) to 777, right? In my case it didn't make any difference. Just for the records, my OSC has MaxiDVD's plugin (the one with WYSIWYG Editor + Snapshot). Any ideas? I bet it's a silly thing but I can't find the right answer.

jdelgado Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 ok, I got it! As I said: it got to be so simple!!! The thing is that the file that needs to be set to CHMOD 777 it is not the one at: catalog/admin/includes/define_mainpage.php but this another one: catalog/includes/languages/english/mainpage.php (and the others in folders /espanol and /german if you use them) Do that and you'll problem will be solved... at least it worked for me! ;) Regards, Jose Jose Delgado - - - - - - - - - - - - "I wish I were smart enough so I could end all my posts with one of those famous and brillant phrases!"

chfields Posted December 7, 2003 Share Posted December 7, 2003 It works automatically when you use define mainpage. Also when you create an e-mail or newsletter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chfields Posted December 7, 2003 Share Posted December 7, 2003 You should have a link in your admin screen under catalog that says define mainpage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chfields Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 It should bring up a screen with a blank box that says define mainpage and the editor will be across the top like in word or excel......Maybe you didn't completely install, I would double check the install Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
