installed finally but still some new errors

[king_j]

right i cant set the config files to 444 as my server will only let me go to 644 which according to on here thats fine, but it means i still get an warning message at the top of the shop saying that the file can be written to. i dont want my customers or anyone for that matter seeing that banner at the top.

 

also the admin section when i log in is very crappy plain text not the fancy GUI i remember it to be.

Jamie,

 

Use an FTP program to change the permissions. On some servers using Cpanel it will restrict you to 644 but I have found that you can change them to 444 using the FTP.

 

The admin GUI relies on the stylesheet.css for formatting. Make sure there is a stylesheet.css file in the catalog>admin>includes directory.

If you have to you can turn the warning message off.

 

At the bottom of /catalog/includes/application_top.php this code:

 

  define('WARN_CONFIG_WRITEABLE', 'true');

Change to:

 

  define('WARN_CONFIG_WRITEABLE', 'false');

BACKUP THE FILE BEFORE MAKING ANY EDITS.

 

The admin can lose the GUI if you have a misguided .htaccess file in the /admin/includes folder.

 

If you find one there rename it to text.htaccess and see if it fixes the problem.

 

If you use cPanel be advised that .htaccess files are hidden files by default in the UNIX environment and you may have to toggle a setting to get the cPanel Filemanager to show hidden files (I did).
