Kasketkarl.nu Posted July 1, 2010 Posted July 1, 2010 Delete your INSTALL.HTML file in your root And set permission (CHMOD) for your configure (644) Your configure is placed at catalog/includes/configure.php install -> catalog/install.html
Guest Posted July 1, 2010 Posted July 1, 2010 thanks for your help but i cant find the file install.html i oened catalog then looked in that folder and thereis an install folder do delete that or do i delete the install.php file inside that folder? also how do i change the permission in the includes file sorry im really new to this and im trying to get my head around it thanks again
MrPhil Posted July 2, 2010 Posted July 2, 2010 Deleting install.php should be sufficient, but you can delete the entire install directory if you want. None of it should be used once the installation is done. Changing permissions is usually best done from your hosting service's File Manager. Ask your host how to use it. Some servers will allow you to change file permissions from an FTP client, but most won't now. 644 permissions may work, or (depending on how your server is configured) you may have to go to 444 (read-only for everyone). There are two configure.php files, at /catalog/includes/ and /catalog/admin/includes/. Both should be made "read-only". Don't forget to temporarily change them back to "read-write" (usually 644) if you need to edit them or upload new copies.
