texhead Posted March 5, 2003 Share Posted March 5, 2003 Hi I ave installed osCommerce 2.2m1 and have the following prob. The permissions for writing to all the files in Define language are not letting me change the files. Error: I can not write to this file. Please set the right user permissions on:... Is there something that hasnt set the permissins correctly when installing? Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 I have the same problem. Also can't upload new images to the images directory and when deleting a sub category from the demo (but when I hit return in the browser the sub category has been deleted) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattice Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 On Windows: right click the file (or directory) and UNcheck 'read-only' On linux: chmod 777 filename Most Windows ftp programs are able to chmod files on linux servers. Try rightclicking a file and look in the context menu.

Try rightclicking a file and look in the context menu. HTH Mattice Thanks it works now. I've chmod 777 the images folder and /includes/functions/general.php wich was the files having errors. My ftp program uploads the files with chmod 644. Any idea of wich files should be chmod 777 and how secure is it? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texhead Posted March 7, 2003 Author Share Posted March 7, 2003 Okey dokey Good to see others having same probs. I was wondering why the install process didn't set the chmod to 777 for the files and image directory, I know i can change them, all twenty odd, but there could be a install problem, and I dont know what other files should be chmoded as well.... I will change the files in Language section. Cheers Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
