File permission problem

[man1c]

I have just installed oscommerce, but every time I try to update any setting in the admin panel i.e. store name the server returns the following error

You don't have permission to access /users/jayceedp/admin/configuration.php on this server.

 

I have changed the cmod values of this file to 777 but still nothing

 

i am also getting the same error if i try to create a user

 

any ideas?

hm.

 

Have you tried to compare the configure.php at catalog/includes with the one at admin/includes????

 

Are there the right definitions???

[man1c]

Yep I have compared the 2 files and all seems ok

 

I made a slight mistake b4 the error i get when creating a user is

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /users/jayceedp/create_account_process.php on this server.

 

It seems like every time I try to write any file from the web side I get a forbidden error

Have you checked the permissions of the directory too?

 

Have you checked that the permissions are really changing? If you aren't the official owner of the file you can't change the permissions. On my store, files created or upload using osCommerce are owned by "nobody" instead of by me. To change their permissions I have to have osCommerce do it, by calling chmod from somewhere in the PHP code.

[man1c]

yup I have changed all the folder permisions to 777 also

try for example the ftp-client smart ftp....with a right-click you can see the status of the files on your server.
