I'm a newbie and really need help...thx in advance!

[osCfan]

Hello, I have already configure my osC but I'm having alot of warning such as these 2:

 

Warning: Installation directory exists at: /home/verresq/public_html/catalog/install. Please remove this directory for security reasons.

 

Warning: I am able to write to the configuration file: /home/verresq/public_html/catalog/includes/configure.php. This is a potential security risk - please set the right user permissions on this file.

 

So I removed the entire folder ../catalog/install manually, but afterward, my catalog page lost all the images. Did i do something wrong, is there another way of doing this?

 

My second question is what user permission should i give for the ../catalog/includes/configure.php and ../catalog/admin/includes/configure.php?

 

Please help me out, a thousand thx! :D

Either 644 or 444. 444 is read only; 644 is everyone read and owner write (this is preferred but not required). If you use 444, you will have enable write permissions every time that you want to modify this file.

 

The install directory should not affect images at all. Check your images directory to make sure that it (and the necessary images) exists, that the file permissions on the directory are at least 555 (755 preferred), and that the images are at least 444. You also might want to check the img links in the source code to make sure that they go to the right place.

 

You may want to post a link to your store so that people can look at it.

 

Hth,

Matt
