Tizzy Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Hi everyone, I've taken a look at the install guide forum however i'm not sure whether these set up instructions will work with a template which has not been downloaded directly from osCommerce. I'm also already using a seperate content management system ( w-cms.org ) which i'm not sure will be compatible with osCommerce, however I do need to be able to use sell things so osCommerce is a real must. I'd really appreciate any help you can give, thank you! - Tizzy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Sam, Follow the installation instructions that were included with the download you purchased. If you need help, contact the template seller. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tizzy Posted June 26, 2011 Author Share Posted June 26, 2011 Hi Chris, the template I downloded led me through the steps of installing the content management system however can lead me no further. Also, since it was free I have no particular person I can ask for help. - Tizzy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tizzy Posted June 26, 2011 Author Share Posted June 26, 2011 Hi toyicebear, thanks for the link however at the moment i'm more interested in installing osCommerce and not in a position to edit any of the files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Sam, Unfortunately, it is impossible to tell EXACTLY what it is that you downloaded so it is also impossible to give you advice on how to install it. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tizzy Posted June 26, 2011 Author Share Posted June 26, 2011 Is there nothing you can tell me? Never mind, i'm sure i'll figure it out! Thanks anyway :) - Tizzy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tizzy Posted June 26, 2011 Author Share Posted June 26, 2011 Oh, by the way do you know how to set folders permissions to a specific number as it tells me to in The Installation Guide? Also do you know what FTP stands for? Sorry for the extra questions, thanks again! - Tizzy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Sam, FTP = File Transfer Protocol. This refers to such programs as CuteFTP and Filezilla to name a couple. If you log into your hosting server using an FTP client, you will see the directory tree of your server, right click on the directory/file you want to change permissions for and you will see the numbers (705, 604, 444, etc) Make the changes as described in the documentation.

Tizzy Posted June 26, 2011 Author Share Posted June 26, 2011 Alright, i've downloaded and installed the Filezilla Server and Client and have been able to log in to both, however when I right-click on one of the files in Filezilla Client the options to change permissions aren't there, did I miss something? - Tizzy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Sam, When you right click on a directory or file on the server side of Filezilla, you will be presented with some options. One of which is Set Permissions. Click that and a box appears with the current permissions value, set the permissions to what you want them to and click ok. ps. Filezilla client is what you should be using. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tizzy Posted June 27, 2011 Author Share Posted June 27, 2011 So I open up FileZilla Client and right click on one of the files, these are the things which come up - Upload, Add files to queue, Open, Edit, Create directory, Refresh, Delete, Rename. I've tried clicking Edit but an error comes up saying 'Cannot edit file, remote path unknown'. - Tizzy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
multimixer Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Go to your host cPanel and try to change permissions from there My community profile | Template system for osCommerce - New: Responsive | Feedback channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tizzy Posted June 27, 2011 Author Share Posted June 27, 2011 Hi multimixer, the File Management part of cPanel shows no folders and won't let me upload folders or php files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
multimixer Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Well, if nothing is there, then it shows nothing, so, question, is there anything on your server? And of course you can uload php files, if you can not, because of some I don't know what restriction, then you can't have osCommerce, but first time I hear about something like this In general, I think you should instal a clean osCommerce and after this is done start asking concrete questions. All of your questions here have been covered already many times, like "how to change permissions" etc, try a little your self, that's not even strictly osCommerce related, so google will help you My community profile | Template system for osCommerce - New: Responsive | Feedback channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tizzy Posted June 27, 2011 Author Share Posted June 27, 2011 Ok, i've got FileZilla working and I can now change permissions and upload files. However i've got a bit of a broader question, I was reading the Quick Install Guide but came up short when it told me to make sure that the includes/configure.php file and the admin/includes/configure.php file are set to 777. I don't believe I have those files. I don't see the includes or admin folder anywhere. I remember extracting and dumping everything from the catalog folder but not the catalog folder itself into the www directory so it should be here shouldn't it? - Tizzy P.S - I'm not searching for it inside the FTP screen if you know what I mean.

Guest Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Sam, The TWO files are required for osCommerce to operate. After installation of your site on your server, you should set the permissions to 444. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tizzy Posted June 27, 2011 Author Share Posted June 27, 2011 Oh, I understand now, I feel like such an idiot for not getting this! Thanks for helping me out :) - Tizzy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
