ixbiosxi Posted March 24, 2003 Share Posted March 24, 2003 go to your ftp program, right click the configure file and chmod the permissions to 664 For an osCommerce and STS Tutorial click the www button in my profile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 25, 2003 Share Posted March 25, 2003 where is the code that makes the pink banner any one know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 25, 2003 Share Posted March 25, 2003 Firebug, I think what is confusing you is that there are 2 configure.php files. Have you changed BOTH to 644? One file is in catalog/includes & the other in admin/includes. If you only change the setting on one of them, you'll continue to get an error message.

Guest Posted March 25, 2003 Share Posted March 25, 2003 just checked both are set to 644 any other ideas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 1, 2003 Share Posted April 1, 2003 No ideas here but I am having the same problem. I have it set to 644 and I still get the pink message... if you find out let me know and I shall do the same for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 1, 2003 Share Posted April 1, 2003 okay did a complete reinstall of the whole system wiped my sql databases and everything. still getting the same problem..I have another site up using this as well and have never had that problem. the only difference between the two sites is one secure site is at name.secu.net and the other is at name.secu.net/foldername however I don't think that has anything to do with it because I don't even have it up at the secure site yet and am still getting the problem. It goes away if I chmod the admin file to 644 and the catalog one to 444...is there a problem with leaving the admin one at 444?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 1, 2003 Share Posted April 1, 2003 i turned off the part of the script that checks for the error. My isp uses a newer ver of PHP i think this is causing the problem. They have guaranteed me that the files are set to read only. This may be a bug :shock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have guaranteed me that the files are set to read only. This may be a bug :shock: It's not a bug in osCommerce. Try chown-ing (change ownership) the file, might be your webserver OWNS it, so it doesn't matter what permissions you set, it will stay writable. I sincerely hope your ISP isn't running the webserver as root by the way. So if your webserver runs as user NOBODY in group NOBODY try chown yourname.yourgroup configure.php Mattice "Politics is the art of preventing people from taking part in affairs which properly concern them" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
