Trouble on IIS: permissions/folders

[fjelsten]

I ran OSC (28/3 version) on a local IIS 5.1 without any major problem but since I have uploaded the file to my ISP, I get weird problems (errors) that I have a hard time fixing using CHMOD (since it's NT).

 

For instance, I get "config file writeable" and I have a hard time changing that remotely (apart from commenting out the warning in header.php) - how do I do that, still leaving it editable for me?

 

Also I get told "Error: Catalog images directory does not exist: /catalog/images/" although I know it exists on the server.

 

My config.php file:

<?php

/*

 $Id: configure.php,v 1.14 2003/02/21 16:55:24 dgw_ Exp $

What is wrong? I don't need HTTPS as we don't accept credit cards

 

BTW: DIR_FS_BACKUP, I had major problems setting it at document root/admin/backup so I had to put the physical address on my ISP's server (let's hope they never put me on the E: drive).

Usually a chmod of 644 is what you need on the configure.php files.

[fjelsten]

I'm on IIS (as I wrote) which means I cannot set CHMOD!

Habit ... what can I say? 8)

 

I am not a Windows user for osCommerce, but I thought there was a pretty good thread on setting up for Windows running around.

[fjelsten]

AFAIK, it does not go into this :o

[Ajeh]

A quick search on:

 

chmod configure windows

 

would reveal several helpful threads ... including one that tells you how to fix this ... :D

[fjelsten]

I did - but I cannot change it via FTP. I'll have to ask my ISP to do it.

 

If configure.php is set to Read-only, one could still read its contents (such as user/pw for the SQL host)? How can that be changed?

 

Do you have any idea for the other stuff?
