amedeo exclusive Posted August 17, 2010 Posted August 17, 2010 I have been having this problem for over a month now and cant find the solution... my website is: www.amedeoexclusive.com I installed the discount coupon module which is: Discount Coupon Codes 3.34 ever since then, my website goes down everyday at night around midnight, and the file permission on the public folder goes from "755" to "750" cause it to go down. Its very easy to get the website back up all i got to do is change the permissions on the folder back to 755 and the website is back up. i figured this has to be a problem with my host server. He told me that because of this module its trying to write into the website and its causing the file permission change to 750 on the public folder, hence the website is going offline and giving the "404 error". The host is telling me to delete this module, but so many other people have installed this module with absolutely no problems, and its such an amazing module that i dont want to delete it if i dont need to. And the fact that so many are using it assures me that i can get it working for me also without giving me the error. Does anyone know how i can fix the file permission problem?? PS. I am sorry i am not to familiar with creating website, especially through oscommerce so thats why i am not being to descriptive and probably missing some info to give you guys. But if anything is needed that i havent included i will provide that right away, as i am super desperate to get this problem solved. Thanks so much in advance..you guys have been awesome with other peoples problems and i have learned so much from the help you guys have provided in previous topics that i have read. If i ever become decent with this coding stuff i will definitely try and offer the same help....you guys are so awesome thanks again Imran
Guest Posted August 17, 2010 Posted August 17, 2010 Imran, The DCC module does NOT write to your site. If you are getting file permission changes, then either your hosting provider is changing them, or your changing them......OR you have malicious code on your site (Hacker). But,there is nothing in the DCC module that would change your permissions. Chris

Guest Posted August 17, 2010 Posted August 17, 2010 Imran, Off topic, but related to your site. 1)The site is 1600px wide, this will exceed MOST customers monitor width and put scroll bars for both horizontal and vertical movement. Also, the whats new section has more than 40 items listed, making the page......WAY too long. I suggest reducing the number of items in the listing to make the page more appealing. 2) Since you only have one language, there is no need for a language pull down menu. 3) Your contact us page is missing a language definition for 'Contact_us_list' 4) The information of Conditions of Use and Privacy Notice are missing.
